Meet Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: It's A One-Off And More Slush-Ready: Pics

NDTV22-04-2025
The Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX is a one-of-a-kind concept from Suzuki Netherlands that turns the popular Swift hatchback into an adventure-ready car. While the regular Swift is known for being nimble and great for city driving, this special edition adds off-road features for more rugged use. While it might sound like a car to go off-road, this is more about soft-roading. Developed by Suzuki's Netherlands-based arm, the hatchback will certainly give ideas to enthusiasts.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: What's New?
The Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX consists of an AllGrip all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, which automatically sends power to the front and rear wheels for better traction on slippery surfaces like snow, mud, or gravel. It also has a 32 mm increase in ground clearance with a jacked-up suspension setup. Thanks to its 195/55R16 all-season tires, making it easier to handle rough terrain.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: Exterior
Thule Roof Rack: Increases cargo space for outdoor gear.
Tralert LED Light Bar: Improves visibility in off-road conditions.
Black Accents: High-gloss black trims and decals give a rugged look.
Rear Bumper Protection: Added rubber trim for extra durability.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: Interior
Leather Upholstery: Provides added comfort.
Dometic Cool Box and Storage Box: Great for long trips.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: Powertrain
This vehicle has a 1.2-liter three-cylinder Z12E naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 79.8 HP and 112 Nm of peak torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As of now, Maruti Suzuki doesn't sell the Swift in India with all-wheel drive or the 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Although it is currently a unique concept limited to the Netherlands, its combination of practicality and rugged features could attract markets like India, where versatile vehicles are in demand.

Meet woman, raised by widowed mother, once didn't have money for school trip, now manages company worth Rs 1625369040000; her name is...

Dhivya Suryadevara (File) The story of Dhivya Suryadevara, the Indian-origin CEO of US-based Optum Insight and Financial, is a truly inspirational journey that underscores the power of hard work, perseverance and dedication in changing the circumstances of one's life. Raised by a widowed mother along with her two siblings, Dhivya Suryadevara spent a childhood marred with financial constraints, and at one point didn't even have the money to pay for a school trip. However, her hard work and dedication have taken her to the pinnacle of the corporate world in the United States, where she now leads an 18.8 billion company as its CEO. Who is Dhivya Suryadevara? Born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Dhivya Suryadevara lost her father at a very young age, and was raised by her mother, who managed her day job at the Syndicate Bank, apart from taking care of three young kids, including Dhivya, at home. After completing her schooling, Dhivya earned a degree in Business, Finance and Economics from Madras University, and later completed CFA and CA courses. At 22, she moved to US and completed her MBA at the prestigious Harvard Business School, and then began her career at PwC. Later, Dhivya Suryadevara interned at the World Bank, and then joined UBS Investment Bank as an Associate Director. However, her first major professional success came in 2005, when she joined General Motors (GM), the largest carmaker in the US. Dhivya worked at GM for over 16 years, and during her tenure, rose from Senior Financial Analyst to become the first woman Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the company in its 110-year history. After leaving GM, Dhivya Suryadevara joined Stripe– a multinational financial services and software major– as its CFO, and in March 2024, she moved to Optum Insight & Financial as its CEO. Who Dhivya Suryadevara credits for her success? In an interview, Dhivya Suryadevara credited her remarkable success to her mother, who did everything in her power to ensure that her three children received the best education, despite the family's financial hardships. 'My mother had to raise three children alone. It is difficult to do this especially in India. She left no stone unturned in our education. She had a lot of expectations from us and this motivated us to do better. We learned that nothing comes easily. You have to work hard to get what you want,' she said. Asked about her experience of moving to the US, Dhivya said it was difficult at first because of the vastly different culture and the fact that she had little money to pay for anything, including a college trip. 'It was very difficult. I was far away from home and it was definitely a culture shock for me. I did not have much money at that time. I could not afford to go on a college trip. Everything was funded by student loans which I had to repay. So, there is a different kind of pressure on you to find a job,' the 42-year-old said. What's Dhivya Suryadevara's net worth? According to various media reports, Dhivya Suryadevara has an estimated net worth of about $20 million, which is quite incredible considering her humble background, and is a testimony to her hard work, professional skill and dedication.

MACT orders 1.8 cr payout to accident victims' kin

Mumbai: A Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) has ordered a payout of over Rs 1.4 crore to the family of Mulund-based marketing manager Mehul Thakkar, who died in a car crash in June 2019. The family of another deceased victim, Harshida Davda, will receive around Rs 38 lakh, and Davda's husband, Bharat Davda, was also awarded compensation of around Rs 4.5 lakh for the injuries suffered in the same accident. MACT ruled that Bhauben Thakkar, owner of the vehicle involved, and her insurance company, Reliance General Ins Co Ltd, must jointly pay the compensation. Mehul's wife, who was in the car too, deposed before the tribunal. A criminal case was also registered against the driver for causing death by negligence. The company initially disputed the claim, arguing that the accident didn't happen as described, and that the driver wasn't negligent or didn't have a valid license. "The company has not challenged the chargesheet and there is no substance in the contention raised by the company proving that the driver of the offending vehicle was rash driving at a high speed and was solely responsible for the accident." the tribunal said. Considering the victims' age at the time of death, MACT included their potential future earnings and the family's financial losses due to untimely death for compensation.
