COPMPETITOR OF MARUTI SWIFTMARUTI SWIFT Vs HYUNDAI GETZ
Even if the Swift had no engine, people would buy it and thats because of its outrageous concept-car looks.The Getz scores highly on practicality: it is spacious, comfortable, has a good boot and many user-friendly touches.USHA FANS SWIFTList price (ex-showroom, Hyderabad) Rs 4.04-5.07 lakhTop speed 174kph0-60kph 5.22sec0-100kph 12.29secKpl 13.85 (overall)For Styling, value for moneyAgainst Small boot and rear seat
HYUNDAI GETZList price (ex-showroom, Hyderabad) Rs 4.74-5.36 lakhTop speed 144kph0-60kph 5.61sec0-100kph 14.47secKpl 12.45(overall)For Space and practicalityAgainst Interior quality
Pioneers always have it tough: people called Columbus mad, called Darwin a heretic, called Hyundai forgetful for leaving out the boot on the Getz.Hyundaihas been pulling its hair out trying to get people to notice a car good enough to be our Car of the Year 2005 and hasn't had that much success, primarily because it was the first of a kind, the Rs 5.0 lakh car without a boot.Hyundais tried extolling thecar's virtues: its neither-too-big-nor-too-small size, its space and practicality, its refinement and sophistication, but sales remained lukewarm. Then, along came Maruti with the jazzy little Swift, and got 21,000 bookings within a week. And then it hiked the price.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
LONG-LEGGED SWIFT MUCH MORE FRUGALIn many of our luxury car tests, we say efficiency figures aren't too big a deal; here, however, they mean everything. And no question about it, the Swift is always about 1.5kpl better than the Getz in every environment, partly due to the longer gearing. For the Getz's 10.4kpl in the city, the Swift returns 11.5kpl; for 14.5kpl on the highway from theHyundai, the Maruti gives 16.2.

TATA INDICA 1.3 MULTIJET:
By the time the larger new Indica is out, the Tata-Fiat tie-up will be going full throttle. Tata will borrow engines from Fiat with, you guessed it, the 1.3 liter Multijet being the engine of choice. Thoroughly localized, cheaply assembled and very capable, it will give the new Indica/ Indigo family a huge leap forward as far as overall ability is concerned.
THE COMPANY DEALERs PROFILE The Indian Automobile Industry has had a long and often bumpy drive down the decades.
