On the other hand, Suzuki swift verdict:
in speaks to our regard for the previous Swift that, its replacement – an ostensibly was a respectable addition to the super-mini category but in the beginning it seemed to be faintly less compelling prospect.
There is need to do little improvement with basic fitness and features of swift to provide a good deal according to price being paid in different areas like Pakistan. Certainly in styling, handling and general refinement, the model seems to have made too small objective progress.But on merits in India (where the price is low than Pakistan), the Swift offers impressive value for money and on this point it even embarrasses some of big-names in competition as well.

Features:
Toyota Vitz has always been dynamic and in demand for its shape and beautiful exterior styling. The 2017 Toyota Vitz is to be Euro-inspired, with sleek styling and an oversized black grille. The 16-inches machined alloy wheels; integrated fog lights rear spoiler and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) feature a catchy accent.
Toyota Aqua can be called the stretched version of Vitz and it is slightly longer, but it does have distinctive Toyota styling. It features as a bulging front bumper, fog lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, wide front with black grilles at top and the bottom, and massive cuts and edges. The use of big lights in the rear and slanting roofline has covered up almost half the rear fenders.
Though Aqua has trademark Toyota design and bigger in size but Vitz has a more exquisite exterior to appeal drivers for driving.
Vitz 2017 has enough room from inside it to offer to its passengers. There is an extra touch of class with piano black trims and white stitching on their seats. From inside it has a sporty look with the leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearshift surrounding which appeals to the human mind.
The 5-door hatchback is offering 15.6 cubic ft. cargo space in the backyard storage. 60/40 split fold-down rear seat changes your idea. Entertainment is within in the reach with features like Bluetooth hands-free music streaming, HD Radio; steering wheel mounted audio control, USB aux and more.
5-door Toyota Aqua is a driver-centric car and fairly simple from inside including dashboard and cluster panels which are all digital. The build quality from inside including seating and dashboard material is not what one can expect from its exterior look.
Subsequently, it has power lock doors, keyless entry and steering adjustment capacity. The entertainment aspect is quite better enough with the multimedia system integrated with the panel. The extra room which offers to the driver boot squeezes the space for rear passengers.
On the other hand, The Swift 2017 gets a raft changes as far as the looks are much concerned. The front end is completely different with a brand new hexagonal grille and bumpers, the black inserts with the fog lamps new as well. Suzuki has adorned the new Swift with the projector lamps and LED DRLs in a sweptback design, which is a welcome change. As we see in the profile, the look remains more or less similar to the current model. However, you get diamond cut alloy wheels which look splendid, while another major change is the positioning of the rear door handles that moved to the window’s quarter-glass and after all, the look and feel of the Maruti Suzuki Swift is very European.
