Hyundai i10 Nios Vs Maruti Swift Comparison: Specs And Price
Today we have Hyundai i10 Nios Vs Maruti Swift on board. It is surely a tough call to choose between the two hatchback cars. Both cars have a huge market share and are available in both petrol and diesel variants. However, Hyundai grand i10 Nios has just launched a CNG variant.
Also at Auto Expo 2020, Hyundai unveiled the 1.0L Turbocharged petrol variant of the car, adding a power-packed performance model to its range.
Hyundai i10 Nios Vs Maruti Swift
Engine (Petrol)

However, the 1.0L Turbo GDi Petrol engine of Hyundai i10 has more to offer in performance. Since it is a turbocharged engine, it could make a maximum of 100hp and a peak torque of 172Nm.
On the other hand, we also have a CNG variant available in i10 Nios, whereas we don’t have these two options in Maruti Swift. A Hybrid Swift variant is expected to arrive soon in the market, but the launch date is yet to be announced by the company.

As I said above, both cars belong to the same category and are perfect rivals. Therefore, as seen above in the petrol variant and the diesel variant, the figures remain the same.
The 1.2L U2 CRDi engine powers Hyundai i10 Nios, whereas the 1.3L DDiS engine powers Maruti Swift. Although there is a slight variation in displacement, both the engines could make 74Hp and a peak torque of 190Nm. However, only Hyundai provides a BS6 compliant diesel engine.

Looking at the specifications, even the experts will find it challenging to pick one when it comes to Hyundai i10 Nios Vs. Maruti Swift. However, there are more options for Hyundai i10 Nios considering the new Turbo and CNG variant of the car. And with the new design improvements in i10 Nios, it has a competitive edge.
