Buying Chevrolet Aveo U-VA or Maruti Swift
Today, a visitor on one of my car hub named Har asked me “Which car should I buy from Swift LXi and U-VA 1.2. I love U-VA interiors and Swift's performance, so confused still. You suggest please. So I thought to give him the answer right away but then thought that why not publish a new article so that other Indian car lovers can get benefit from it, so here is my answer:
Hi Har, the best way to compare both Swift and Chevy Aveo U-VA or any other car is to test drive them and see what meets your requirements, but then also I am providing some advantages and disadvantages of both these cars so that these can help you in comparing and buying a new car of choice.
Advantages of buying Maruti Swift:
- Good power.
- Fuel economy (10-15 km per liter) okay.
- Good looks.
- Slick, precise gear shift.
- Low cost of ownership.
- Amazing Maruti service network
- Good resale price.
- Sporty interiors.
- Good service network.
Disadvantages of buying Maruti Swift:
- Rattling sounds (might have been solved in recent production batches like in K-series engine Swift).
- Stiff suspension (not that comfortable).
- Bad metal quality.
- Too common these days.
Advantages of buying Chevrolet Aveo U-VA
- Fuel economy (10-15 km per liter) okay.
- Good looks.
- Very good ride comfort.
- Attractive and expensive interiors.
- Super smooth engine.
- Good quality fittings and metal.
- Not that common on roads, so you may have some eyes turned on it.
Disadvantages of buying Chevrolet Aveo U-VA
- Poor service network.
- Expensive spare parts.
- Gear shift is rough.
- Low resale value.
- Not as powerful as Swift.
- On road cost almost as much as Swift (not worth, since it is a low powered car).
I found that Chevy Aveo is okay but it is not value for money. You can buy Maruti Swift instead because:
- Its acceleration is highest in segment, can beat many cars in its segment in a straight line drag.
- Has the comfort of a luxury car.
- Swift has the best features in the segment.
- Suspension is very stable at high speeds.
- Attractive Looks: The best looks in its segment.
- White Color- Combines Sportiness and Royalty.
My Verdict
Go for Swift Petrol if you travel less than 30 kilometers per day or go for a Swift Diesel if you travel more. Just drive it cautiously and you will love the Swift more than anything.
