Maruti Swift Vs Nissan
Micra

Nissan kinda tested our patience before rolling out the Micra. But
they didn’t disappoint. A competitively priced and versatile Micra
has been rolled out into an overcrowded B-segment. Although
there are more than five hatchbacks that the Micra faces tough
competition from, the most challenging contender is none other
than the emperor in the segment, the Maruti Swift.
Swift has been here for a while, without receiving considerable
facelifts. We all agree Swift is a supercool cart, however, like most
cars in the car world, after a while some of its freshness is lost. At
this juncture, Micra storms in with very retro, bubbly-cute looks,
great quality and fit-finish, very well-appointed interiors and a
handful of unique features such as self-folding mirrors, key-less
entry, push start/stop button on the top-end version and airbags
even on the base variant.
The most alluring feature of the Micra is its incredible interior
space. Micra, which is 20mm longer than Swift, offers better
legroom, shoulder room and boot space. The twin-bubble
dashboard of the Micra benefits from micro grain technology,
which reduces the plasticky feeling. However, the Swift’s
dashboard is commendable and better than Micra, although it is
just a hue of black on the inside.
