Engine Details
| Model | 2021 Maruti Swift | Hyundai Grand i10 Nios |
| Engine | 1.2-L 4 Cylinder Naturally Aspirated | 1.2-L 4 Cylinder Naturally Aspirated/ 1.2-L u2 CRDi/ 1.0-L Turbo Petrol |
| Power (PS @ RPMs) | 90 @ 6000 | 83 @ 6000 / 75 @ 4000 / 100 @ 6000 |
| Torque (Nm @ RPMs) | 113 @ 4400 | 114 @ 4000 / 190 @ 1750 / 172 @ 1500 |
| Transmission | 5-Speed MT and AMT | 5-Speed MT and AMT |
| Fuel Economy (kmpl) | 23.20 - MT 23.76 - AMT | 1.2-L Petrol - 21 (MT and AMT) 1.2-L Diesel - 25 (MT and AMT) 1.0-L Turbo Petrol - 20 (MT) |
The updated Swift has its own advantage for the mileage where the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine delivers 23.20 kmpl for the manual and the AMT sticks with 23.76 kmpl. However, even with the updated power figure, Swift is not yet powerful. So if you were to choose a powerful petrol engine then the 1.0L peppy turbocharged motor comes to the rescue.

Features
Clearly, the Swift has been updated with all the new features like cruise control, coloured multi-information display, idle start-stop button, auto-foldable ORVMs and the AMT versions of the hatchback gets electronic stability control and hill hold. It continues with the 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with modern connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
On the other hand, the interiors of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios looks fresh and gives a premium feel because of the dual-tone colour scheme. It also gets a bigger 8.0-inch touchscreen, rear AC vents, rear wiper and defogger, wireless charging and others. The Nios gets an edge over the features when compared with the new Swift.

Prices
| Model | Price (ex-showroom, Delhi) |
| 2021 Maruti Swift | Rs 5.73 lakh - Rs 8.41 lakh |
| Hyundai Grand i10 Nios | Rs 5.19 lakh - Rs 8.42 lakh |
Clearly, the Grand i10 Nios is the most value for money hatchback here as it provides better engine options, features and aesthetic design. You also get an alternate fuel option which is the CNG if you choose the Nios. Swift is not only expensive but lacks several features when compared with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
