Author: Arpit Gupta

In this article, we’ll present the data based on V3Cars mileage test and inform you about what real-world fuel efficiency you can expect from the Maruti Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic in city and highway driving conditions. We’ll also find out how much the mileage numbers deviate from the manufacturer-claimed fuel efficiency figures. The information presented in this article will also help you learn about the mileage differences you can expect when driving in the city vs driving on the highway.

Maruti Swift 1.2L Petrol-Auto

Testing Method

Before we provide the actual mileage of the Maruti Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic, let’s briefly explain our testing process so that you can decide if it matches your preferences, style and conditions for driving.

We use the tank-full-to-tank-full method, wherein we first fill up the fuel tank to the brim and reset the trip metre before commencing our 100km city drive in Delhi NCR traffic. We drive along the same route during weekdays to simulate a realistic city driving condition and with the same load to keep our test results consistent. Once we’re done with the Swift city driving, we head back to the fuel station for a refill and note the trim metre reading to calculate city mileage and reset it before once again setting off for the highway run. For the Swift petrol highway run, we choose the stretch around Sohna along the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and we drive it for 100km at a speed of around 100kmph. Then, we refill and note down the trip metre readings to calculate the highway mileage figure."

What Is The Actual City Mileage Of Maruti Swift 1.2L Normal Petrol-Auto?

After driving the Swift with the 1.2L normal petrol-automatic powertrain in the city traffic for about 4 hours and 30 minutes we drove back to the fuel station. We covered 100km with an average speed of 40kmph. During refuelling, we were able to fill up 7.33 litres of petrol in the Swift at a per litre petrol price of Rs. 95. Thus, the total bill stood at Rs. 696.35 and in our real-world city mileage test of Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic, we got a final fuel efficiency figure of 13.78kmpl.

What Is The Real Highway Mileage Of Maruti Swift 1.2L Normal Petrol-Auto?

With the tank filled to the brim once again, we headed out on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway to test the highway mileage of the Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic. During the highway run, we cruised at 100kmph and managed to complete our 110km drive in about 1 hours and 25 minutes. So, our average speed during the highway mileage test of the Swift was 100kmph. After the drive, we managed to fill up 5 litres of petrol in our Swift and incurred a bill of Rs. 475 with a fuel price of Rs. 95 per litre in Gurgaon, Haryana. During our highway run of the Maruti Swift with the 1.2L normal petrol-automatic powertrain, we achieved a highway mileage of 22.18kmpl.

Claimed Mileage Vs Actual Highway/City Mileage Of Maruti Swift 1.2L Normal Petrol-Auto — What’s The Difference?

Based on our mileage test, the Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic gave us a city mileage of 13.78kmpl. On the highways, you can expect this figure to jump up by 60.96% to 22.18kmpl, as we saw in our Swift mileage test.

Compared to the official claimed mileage figure of the Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic, our Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic city mileage turned out to be 13.78kmpl. Thus, showing a negative 46% deviation from the claimed figure. With this fuel efficiency, you can expect to incur a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 6.89 if you drive mostly in the city traffic with a fuel cost of Rs. 95 per litre.

In terms of highway mileage, we achieved a figure of 22.18kmpl with the Swift we drove. This number of 22.18kmpl is less than the claimed mileage figure. Thus, the deviation in the highway mileage of Swift 1.2L petrol-automatic is negative 14%. At this rate, you can expect to spend Rs. 4.28 per kilometre for predominantly highway driving during the ownership.

If your driving happens entirely on the highways or just within the city, then you know what mileage you can expect from the Maruti Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic. However, for those who have a mixed usage, we have compiled combinations of effective mileage of Swift Auto based on the variations of city-highway driving ratio.

Using this customised city-highway combinations, you can better gauge what fuel costs and realistic fuel efficiency you can expect from the Swift with the 1.2L normal petrol-automatic powertrain.

*City mileage: 13.78kmpl; Highway mileage: 22.18kmpl; Petrol fuel cost in Gurgaon at the time of testing: Rs. 95 per litre.

Based on these combinations, for a 70% city and 30% highway usage, you can expect a real world mileage of 16.3kmpl and a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 5.83 from the Swift. With a flipped combination, where you drive the Swift 70% on the highways and 30% in the city, you can expect your real-world mileage figure to hover around 19.66kmpl with fuel costs around Rs. 4.83 per kilometre.

For an even split of city and highway usage, your real fuel efficiency with the Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic powertrain, your effective real mileage is likely to be closer to 16.3kmpl. Thus, your per kilometre fuel costs could be around Rs. 5.83.

Real Driving Range (Full Tank Driving) Of Maruti Swift 1.2L Normal Petrol-Auto For Your Driving Requirements

The Maruti Swift with the 1.2L normal petrol-automatic powertrain comes with a 40-litre fuel tank. With this capacity and our realisting mileage estimates, you can expect to get a range of 450km to 740km depending on whether your driving is entirely within the city or on the highways.

With a 70-30 driving split in favour of city usage, you can expect a full tank range of 543km from the Swift. However, if you flip the driving condition split to 30-70% in favour of highway, then you should expect a range 655km with a full tank of fuel. On an even split of 50% city driving and 50% highway driving, you will have to refuel about every 599km.

At the time of testing the Maruti Swift 1.2L normal petrol-automatic, each refuelling will cost you Rs. 3420 if you fill up 90%. This is assuming the petrol fuel cost of Rs. 95 per litre as of Sep 17, 2024 in Gurgaon, Haryana.
