Tata Tiago vs Maruti Swift – Design
We’ll start with the Maruti Suzuki Swift which has been ruling the market for almost a decade. Despite being in the market for years, the car has maintained its charm as the company kept updating it at regular intervals. While the overall shape of the car has remained intact, the vehicle has received several new elements both inside and out. As against the first generation model, the current version looks sharper and sportier than before. Sweptback headlamps, prominent front intakes, sharp bumpers , prominent wheel arches, blackened A-pillar and few other elements give it a sporty appeal.
The Tata Tiago, on the other hand, is like no other Tata cars we have seen to date and that has surely worked in its favour. Within a month of its launch, the Tiago became the top-selling car. The Tiago looks a lot European than Indian, all thanks to Tata Motors three design studios in UK, Italy and Pune that have worked jointly on this project. The Tiago is the first product based on Tata Motors’ new IMPACT design philosophy which we’ll also see on Nexon and Kite 5. With feature such as a radiator grille, wrap-around headlamps with smoked lens, sloping rear windshield, integrated rear spoiler, body-coloured door handles and prominent creases on either sides give it an appealing look.
Since the design is quite a subjective matter, we leave it to our readers. Our personal choice is Maruti Suzuki Swift, but the Tiago is quite refreshing to look at.
Tata Tiago vs Maruti Swift – Interior Quality
One thing that has worked in favour of the Tiago over its rivals is the interior material quality. As a matter of fact, the Tiago looks much plusher and more premium than the Bolt that is the company’s premium hatchback offering. In quality, the Tiago is very close to the Hyundai Grand i10 which had set a benchmark in this department upon its arrival. Maruti Suzuki Swift may not match the quality of the Tiago, but it feels sturdy. The Swift also has more comfortable drive and front passenger seats. Also, with all-black interior, the Swift looks appealing.
