The updated Maruti Suzuki Swift is here. Buyers will like it, but enthusiasts may not, conclude Kartikeya and Shumi on MotorInc First. The updates make the Maruti Swift, smoother, quicker, more efficient, safer and it's better equipped. But the fizziness of the outgoing hatchback? That's been taken back to create a better family car.
