Largest
parade of Maruti Suzuki Swift - world record set
by MSIL
GURGAON, India -- India's largest car maker, Maruti
Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), lined up 342 Swift cars at
a "parade" in Gurgaon - setting the new world record for the
Largest
parade of Maruti Suzuki Swift
cars.

“Today’s world record is a testimony to
the ever-growing popularity of the Swift. The new world record
for the Largest
parade of Maruti Suzuki Swift
cars is a victory for all the 4.5 lakh Swift
owners,” Maruti Suzuki executive officer for sales and marketing
Mayank Pareek said.
The Largest
parade of Maruti Suzuki Swift
cars in the World comes along Maruti's way just days
after Swift's sales crossed 4.5 lakh units since its launch
in 2005.
Maruti Suzuki manufactures over 12,000 Swifts
a month from both the Gurgaon and Manesar facilities yet is
finding it difficult to meet demand. While the current waiting
period for the petrol variant is 2-3 months, for a diesel
Swift one has to wait four months.
The company offers the petrol variant with
a 1.2 litre K-series engine, while the diesel car comes with
a 1.3 litre DDiS engine.
Similar car parades were held simultaneously
in Mumbai and Sriperumbudur but did not achieve any world
record.
