The First Prizes of the Swift

The new Suzuki Swift is arriving in the French market with a hybrid version and attractive pricing.

Since its launch in 2004, the Suzuki Swift has managed to find its audience. The brand-new model builds on the heritage of its predecessors, combining exhilarating driving experience, comfort, efficiency, and safety. Since its debut, the Swift has been sold in 169 countries and regions, with total sales exceeding 9 million units.

While drawing inspiration from the style that contributed to the success of previous generations, the design of the new Suzuki Swift marks a clear departure, blending rounder shapes with sharp lines.

The black high-gloss grille is framed by “L” shaped daytime running lights that extend onto the rounded fenders. The floating roof design lightens the overall somewhat bulky line. The three-dimensional lights and the wide rear bumper still add some dynamism, but less prominently than before, as if somewhat hidden, as if the Swift is a little ashamed of its sporty heritage.

The Swift shifts to hybrid

The new Swift features a new 1.2L 3-cylinder engine paired with a small 12V hybrid system. The combined power output is 82 hp. The modest weight of 920 kg allows for decent performance and limited fuel consumption. It offers a choice between a 5-speed manual gearbox or CVT automatic transmission. It can still benefit from Suzuki’s all-wheel-drive system, ALLGRIP AUTO, a rare feature exclusive to Suzuki.

In France, the new Swift is available in three versions: Advantage, Privilege, and Pack.

Only two options are offered for the new Suzuki Swift Hybrid: metallic paint (€570) and metallic So’Color paint with a black or grey roof (€850, available on Privilege and Pack trims).
