Hyundai Elite i20 vs Maruti Swift Video Comparison

This video description covers the exterior, interiors, drive/handling, engine specs and verdict.

Exteriors : The front bumper of Swift gets minor design update which gives it a little-composed look. It is equipped with swept back headlamps, the radiator grille with a honeycomb mesh. The side profile of swift features shoulder lines moving to the rear door of the car and slightly rising towards the end. At the rear, it has concave taillight cluster that looks very classy. On the other hand, Elite i20 front face has hexagonal air dam and a slim grill. It is also equipped with halogen headlamps. The side profile of top end model of Elite i20 has chrome door handles and stylish diamond cut alloy wheels. The model we are testing has a plain structure on its side profile that gives it a classy look. At the rear, it's tail light gets wider and powered by LED brake lights.

Interiors : Both cars have improved their interiors. The interiors of the Maruti Swift comes with a black dashboard which is decorated with silver accents that give it an impressive look. The 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel makes things easy as changing music tracks and this is aided by the steering mounted Bluetooth controls that aid seamless calling. Bluetooth only comes in top trim. The 2 DIN music system supports USB and AUX. It also includes storage spaces like cup holders, glove box and more. Coming to the comfort level, seats are well cushioned and provide ample support. But, the rear lack legroom, hence, is not comfortable for a long journey, especially for tall people.The Swift gets only height adjustable steering wheel. It gets 204 litres of boot space which is less as compared to Elite i20.
On the other hand, the interiors of the Elite i20 comes with dual tone black and beige color scheme.The leather wrapped steering wheel looks great with three spokes and is mounted with multi-functional switches. Elite i20 also supports USB and AUX features as standard along with 1GB of storage memory. The seats have been covered with dual tone premium quality fabric upholstery, that gives a premium look. Elite i20 has a better legroom than that of Maruti Swift. Moreover, there is a rear A/C vent to make the cooling more quickly. The steering of the car can be adjustable for reach and height. It also has glove box chiller adding to its versatility. Moreover, its 285 litres of boot space is sufficient for carrying enough luggage and certainly more than swift.

Engine and Performance: Maruti Swift is powered by 1.2 L K -series petrol engine that generates 84 bhp power with 115 Nm of torque. On the other, Elite i20 gets 1.2 L Kappa2 petrol engine that produces 82bhp of power with a torque of 115 Nm. The new 1.2 L on the Swift is not as much as fun to drive as compared to old Swift. The engine is peppy and it's fun to drive in the city. The Swift has beautifully weighted steering wheel which is intuitive to use whereas Elite i20 has electric power-assisted steering system, which is highly responsive and makes handling simpler. Talking about fuel efficiency, Maruti Swift returns a mileage of 20.4 kmpl whereas Elite I20 returns 18.6 kmpl. The ride quality of both the cars is more or less same.

Verdict : Both the cars have their pros and cons. Elite i20 excels in space and comfort whereas Swift excels in drive and ride quality. The performance of both the cars are head to head. But, if you want to purchase a car that looks, handles and provides comfort like a star go for Elite i20. Overall, Elite i20 is better package than Swift and will make you feel better.

Well in India, at least as far as I know people who look out for small cars which have low Maintenance and fuel efficiency as the first criteria to choose between cars. All the rest of the stuffs are secondary. Hence Swift is the largest seller in that segment and this video looks like; it deliberately skipped Maintenance/Repair cost.
Biased for Hyundai ...or paid review.

nice comparison, i20 is better than swift without any doubt, i20 sales are increasing by each passing month. this month i decided to buy a diesel hatchback between 7 to 9 lakh otr, confused between i20 or swift. well if i am going to spend around 7-8 lakh why not spend few extra money and go for the i20. it has better looks, more space, more features, good after sales service, diesel engine is powerful, more safety and i have to use my car for atleast 5 years so i wouldn't mind spending few extra rupees. but waiting period for i20 is min 3 months while swift is available everywhere same day.

when comparing to i20 swift is much better to drive and engine performance is awesome when comparing with kappa 2 i20 engine.. Normally swift engine will throttle the horsepower to extreme. I prefer Swift to buy

New Swift is the best apart in each and every segment even though it has some backlogs which can be manageable...regarding Performance and look this car stands better than i20...

Good review.Firstly, not fair to compare 2nd generation swift with a 3rd generation i20.2008-12 was 1st gen, 2012-14 had one more, the 2014 came the elite i20.And swift I don't know why does it have to take so long to update itself.
I like the looks of the i20 and performance of the swift.i20's steering wheel is like jelly which is not fun at all.Swift has crips and sporty feel to the steering and handling.i20 looks sporty from the outside but very family car from the inside which makes me favour swift.

Is elite i20 petrol is underpowered due to its heavy weight???
I am confused between elite i20 sports petrol vs grand i10 asta petrol and dzire vxi.. I didn't include baleno delta due to its stiff suspension..
