Ritz versus i20
Maruti Ritz is based on the swift and larger than the Wagon R, it a poise and marvellous car but, I think that Maruti Ritz has given a serious competition to Hyundai i20. Ritz has most fuel efficient DDiS engine with High-quality performance and torque flexible where as i20 has punchy and efficient Crdi engine..The look n feel for i20 is very nimble with best in class interior and boot space and its easy to drive while ritz has realistic tall boy design with practical interiors and elevated seating position also ritz body does not feel solid and is prone to rattles, sad rear design, tiny boot space and with uncomfortable, cramped and flat rear seats. As compare to ritz and punto, i20 has improved in turbo response. There is no facility for airbags in ritz but i20 provides complete safety kit. Hyundai i20 is very expensive with high maintenance cost as compare to Ritz.
Ritz versus Swift
Maruti Ritz has similar characteristics like Maruti Swift such as its lift up, engine, etc., however it is quite comfy drive rather than the former and It is more roomy than Swift. Features like small gearbox and airy boot and rear legroom gives a hike in the market which is large attraction for end users. Likewise exterior become more advantageous and seems like small sports car.
It has benefits likewise Swift and built on a highly developed technology better than its competitor. It includes alternatives for rear seat folding with 60-40% ratio. Low width seats give sad impression in first glance; however high roof, low price and better kilometers, provides high ranking in the market rather than Swift.
Swift versus i20
The car which gives you joy and fulfillment while driving on long windy roads, the choice is Maruti Swift. Despite three years on track, business for swift is much competitive to i20. Better performance of former helps it to lead the market & trust from consumers. Real test appears for i20 on long rough drive where its engine start loosing its glory however swift on other side proves real value for money and maintain its revolutionary trust.
Here comes big picture; for safety (6 air bags); high price, fascinating colors, curvy belt sides and many more gives i20 superiority than Swift. Also, fine interiors with quality plastic architecture adds more shine & noble look in addition to other features.
Sitting space is flat-sided providing rear under thigh support and many consumers like that. Performance-wise Hyundai claims 80 odd BHP; however the hardware refuses to move freely beyond certain limit that annoys many end users. On other hand swift wins the battle in terms of stability & durability of engine at extreme conditions.
