 A distinctively sporty front face incorporates clear headlamps and a wide air dam that not only suppresses front-end lift but also looks dynamic and stylish. Large-diameter wheels positioned near the extreme corners of the body and boldly contoured shoulder lines that run from the headlamps to the rear of the body convey a strong sense of stability. A wraparound glasshouse gives the upper half of the Swift body a bold, sporty look and helps to imbue the cabin with an appearance of solidity. Clearly defined shoulder lines are complemented by boldly flared wheel arches and side sills that further emphasize the car’s strength and stability. The shoulder lines flow toward rear combination lamps that curve forward to meet them above the rear wheels, creating a uniquely sporty and well-integrated look. Expressively styled tailgate meets a large, wide rear bumper that forms a solid visual base for the lower part of the body. |
 Inside the Swift, the driver enjoys an environment that focuses on style, sportiness and driving pleasure. Sporty features include a three-spoke steering wheel, a spherical shift knob and an illuminated ring around the speedometer that makes driving even more enjoyable. Instrumentation that promotes easy, enjoyable driving includes a sporty, easy-to-read triple-gauge instrument cluster. It also includes a centrally-located information display that shows the time, fuel consumption, and outside temperature. The audio and climate-control systems are easy to operate due to the optimally large, dial-type controls. For added convenience, the audio system can also be operated using steering-wheel-mounted controls. The front seats offer superior support and hold, and each one has a class-leading slide range of 240mm. The driver's seat has a height adjuster with an up-down range of 30mm. A tilt-adjustable steering column allows every driver to achieve the optimal seating position for confident driving and easy pedal operation. |
 The Swift comes with a 1.5-litre M15A petrol engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. Each engine is tuned with an emphasis on performance at low and mid-range speeds and incorporates a range of advanced technologies. Key technologies of the engine include Variable Valve Timing, which helps to maximize torque and power throughout the rev range. The four-speed automatic transmission has a gated shift lever that allows the driver to enjoy shifting gears for added exhilaration. This feature is common among sports saloons and coupes but has rarely been seen in the supermini category. |
 The Swift offers a dynamic driving experience together with a ride that feels sophisticated and comfortable which is achieved through a newly-developed platform incorporating specially conceived chassis systems. The newly-developed platform gives the Swift its interior spaciousness and also enables superior on-road stability and comfort. The newly-designed front suspension gives significantly higher mounting rigidity, which translates into lower road noise and a stronger feeling of stability. The Swift breaks further new ground by being equipped with torsion-beam rear suspension, which gives a superior combination of handling stability and ride comfort. To further enhance the driving experience, the power-assisted steering system has a newly developed steering gearbox that gives a more direct feel. And for further controllability, the braking system has an upgraded design in which increased caliper rigidity and other enhancements give sure stopping power. |
 Peace of mind for users is always a top priority for Suzuki, so the Swift incorporates the latest technologies for safety and security. The Swift has a reinforced cabin structure with front and rear impact-absorbing crush zones. The rigid body construction effectively disperses impact energy to help protect the occupants. In the cabin, users are further shielded from impact forces by a collapsible steering column, leg-injury-mitigating brake and clutch pedals, front-seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters, energy-absorbing trim and front dual SRS airbags. The Swift's safety system is also supported by Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. And to give users even greater peace of mind, exemplary protection from theft is realized by a keyless entry and start system that permits keyless unlocking and locking by pressing a button located on the door handle and keyless engine start by turning an ignition knob. All these are conveniently done without removing the remote transmitter from pockets or bags. |
 The Swift's clever use of interior space realizes exceptional people- and luggage-carrying flexibility. With all seats in use, the luggage area has a generous capacity of 213L (VDA). The luggage area is tall enough to allow a large suitcase to be loaded vertically. Plus, the luggage-area floor is smooth and flat thanks the newly adopted torsion-beam rear suspension. In higher grades, the rear seat has a 40/60-split design and a tumble-folding function so it can be configured to create an extended, flat luggage surface on each side. Lower grades have a bench-type rear seat with a single-folding seatback that can also be used to create more luggage space. The tailgate can be unlocked electrically at the push of a button, making loading easier when the userfs hands are full of luggage. For further convenience, storage spaces for small, personal items are located around the cabin. They include a compartment in the instrument panel, a glove box, front and rear bottle holders, a seatback pocket and front door pockets (large enough for A4-size road atlases). |
