Ten points to note about the Swift DZire
- It has better insulation then the hatchback, hence it has lesser engine noise then the hatchback
- It has a longer wheelbase, and hence it rides better then the Swift hatch
- The tempertaure display on the dash is not that accurate
- There are no rattling issues yet, atleast on the test drive cars
- The front interior lights are press type, which is a small but nice touch, also the power steering light in the instrument panel is changed from what is in the hatch, in the hatch it reads EPS, in the sedan a steering wheel is displayed, see pic.
- Car comes with rear arm rest, cupholders on rear doors
- Rear seat is much more comfortable to sit in, thanks to it having a slight angle and not a straight seat like the Swift hatch
- There is 24L less boot space in the ZDi/ZXi(440L) compared to the other variants(464L), something to do with the bigger tires in the Z variants
- Car comes with iCats(all Marutis do) = lesser insurance costs
- In short the car is fantastic value and its unbeatable currently(nothing even comes close), this car is going to sell like hot cakes crazy, and i dont see why it should not.

Correction in point number 8, brochure states. boot space (ltrs) Zxi/zdi -440 whereas rest 464. probably due to wider tyres in stepney in Zxi/Zdi

Are you sure about the wheelbase. IIRC its the same as the Swift
