They run together up to ₹8.65L, where the Swift tops out. Past that only the Glanza has anything left to sell you, up to ₹9.99L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹8.65L to both showrooms and you come out with the Swift ZXi+ at ₹8.65L or the Glanza G at ₹8.65L.
Our take
Same money, plus wheel size (16" against 15") and rear USB-C ports
Same money either way. The Glanza G throws in small touches like wheel size (16" against 15") and rear USB-C ports, and nothing there changes the car.
