The Swift's brochure promises up to 25.75 kmpl. Nobody gets that in real traffic. Here's what Pune, Kolkata and Bangalore owners report.
One long-term owner reports a steady 17 kmpl in the city over 6 years — achievable with a light foot and timely servicing.
Short trips (under 5 km) kill mileage — the engine never warms up. Aggressive AC use in peak summer costs 1–2 kmpl. Under-inflated tyres cost another 0.5 kmpl.
The Swift CNG is ARAI-rated at 32.85 km/kg (manual) and 35.34 km/kg (new AMT). Owners report 26–29 km/kg in the city — at ₹79.09/kg, that's barely ₹3/km.
