Engine, Mileage and What the Numbers Mean in Real Life
Maruti Suzuki Swift’s 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z-series petrol makes 80.46 hp at 5,700 rpm and 111.7 Nm at 4,300 rpm. Meanwhile, the Nios’s 1.2-litre four-cylinder Kappa engine makes 82 hp at 6,000 rpm and 114 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Two bhp and 2.3 Nm apart — in daily driving that gap is irrelevant. What is not irrelevant is how those engines feel.
