The Suzuki Swift (Japanese: スズキ・スイフト, Suzuki Suifuto) is a supermini car (B-segment) produced by Suzuki. The vehicle is classified as a B-segment marque in the European single market, a segment referred to as a supermini in the British Isles. Prior to this, the "Swift" nameplate had been applied to the rebadged Suzuki Cultus in numerous export markets since 1984.[2] The Swift became its own model in 2004.[3][4] Currently, the Swift is positioned between Ignis and Baleno in Suzuki's global hatchback lineup.
The Swift was marketed in the Japanese domestic market (JDM) as the Cultus and elsewhere as the Suzuki SA310, Suzuki Swift, Suzuki Forsa, Chevrolet Swift, Chevrolet Sprint/Sprint Metro, Geo Metro, Pontiac Firefly, Maruti 1000, Holden Barina and Subaru Justy. The Swift-badged Cultus ended its production in Hungary in 2003.[5]
The global version of the first generation Swift was debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 2004.[10][3] The design of the Swift was previewed on the Concept S and Concept S2 concept cars at auto shows, in the years leading up to its launch.[4] This generation of the Swift marked a significant departure with the previous Cultus-based models, with Suzuki redesigning the vehicle as less of a "low price alternative" subcompact and more of a "sporty" subcompact.[11] The Swift's design and driving characteristics focused on the European market with its chassis refined through a road-testing program across Europe.[12]
Since its global launch in 2005, which was kicked off with a marketing campaign fronted by the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in many European countries, the Swift has recorded above forecast sales in most markets. In Japan, sales figures reached twice the numbers forecast.[citation needed]
The Swift was available with 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines, rated at 91 PS (67 kW; 90 bhp) and 102–110 PS (75–81 kW; 101–108 hp), respectively. It was produced in Hungary, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan and by Chang'an Motors in China. In most markets, only the five-door body is available, and a four-wheel drive is an option for the 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines. A 92 PS (68 kW; 91 bhp) 1.25-litre engine fitted with an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) was offered in front-wheel drive only. In Europe, the Swift was launched in three- and five-door hatchback forms, with 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines, and a 1.25-litre (marketed as 1.3-litre) DDiSturbodiesel engine supplied by Fiat. Both the 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre petrol models are available with four-wheel drive; these models receive the ZD11S and ZD21S chassis numbers.[15]
Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited started producing the first generation Swift in November 2009 and only available with 1.3-litre M13A petrol engine and paired with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions. The first generation Swift was discontinued in Pakistan in August 2021.[6]
In Indonesia, the earlier Swift was imported from Japan and from 2007 to 2011, it was assembled locally at Suzuki Indomobil Motor's production plant in Bekasi, West Java. It was only offered with a 1.5-litre M15A petrol engine, mates with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions. There were several special editions with Swift Sport bumpers, sold as GT (2007), GT2 (2009) and GT3 (2010), respectively.[16] There was also a special edition called GTS with body kits launched in July 2009.[17]
The Maruti Suzuki Swift was launched in India on 25 May 2005 with the familiar 1.3-litre SOHC 16-valve G13BB petrol engine seen in Maruti Esteem. Later, in early 2007, Maruti introduced the Swift with a Fiat-sourced 1.25-litre D13A DDiSturbodiesel engine. In 2010, due to the new BS-IV emission norms, Maruti replaced the 1.3-litre petrol engine with the more modern 1.2-litre DOHC (later model has VVT) K12M engine.[18]

Changan Suzuki Swift
Suzuki's joint venture in China, Changan Suzuki, started producing Swift for the Chinese domestic market in Chongqing from July 2005.[3] Two petrol engines were available; 1.3-litre SOHCG13BB engine producing 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp)[19] and 1.5-litre DOHCVVTM15A engine producing 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp).[20] Both engines are mated with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the later was available with a 4-speed automatic transmission option. A limited edition Swift with new sporty bumpers called Champion Edition was introduced in June 2010.[21][22]
While the new generation Swift was prepared for the global market, Changan Suzuki continued producing this generation by giving its first facelift by using Swift Sport bumpers and rear lights in October 2010, skipped the 2007 facelift for the global market model. Suzuki did testing the new generation Swift in China but decided only offered the Japanese imported high performance Swift Sport instead.[23][24]
The second facelift occurred in 2013 and it has similar front bumper styling as the refreshed second generation Swift.[25]
Sales ended when Suzuki decided to withdraw from Chinese market to focus in India in September 2018.[26] Over 350,000 units Swift were sold in China from 2005 to 2019.[27]

Swift Sport (RS416/ZC31S)
In September 2005, Suzuki launched the Sport version of the new Swift in Japan, and in September 2006 the model was introduced in most European markets. Named "Swift Sport", it is powered by an enhanced M16A unit, a high-revving 1.6-litre, naturally aspirated DOHC VVT four-cylinder engine with an 11.1:1 compression ratio, high lift cams, forged pistons, and strengthened valve springs. The 1.6-litre engine produces 125 PS (92 kW; 123 bhp) and 148 newton-metres (109 lb⋅ft) torque. At 3,765 mm (148.2 in), the car is 70 mm (2.8 in) longer than the standard Swift. The Swift Sport features sportier bumpers and spoilers, a stiffer suspension, twin exhaust pipes, red sport seats (with Recaro seats optional) and four-wheel disc brakes on 16-inch wheels. The European Swift Sport features five-speed manual transmission, the three-door body variant, 17-inch wheels (16-inch also available) and electronic stability control (ESC).
In July 2008, Suzuki Germany launched a limited edition of Swift Sport called N'Style Rally to pay tribute to the Suzuki's Group NJunior World Rally Championship car and only limited to 500 units. It was offered exclusively in black and is covered with Suzuki Motorsport’s logos and decals.[28]
In 2007, Suzuki Arena Kyoto Rakunan, a Suzuki dealership located in Kyoto prefecture collaborated with Japanese tuner Tommykaira to modify the Swift Sport; the resulting model was sold as Tommykaira S-Ss (Super Swift Sports).[29]
In 2008, the Swift Sport has undergone a minor restyling which mostly influenced the interior and gear ratios.

The second generation Swift was unveiled on 26 August 2010. It went on sale in Japan on 18 September 2010. The second generation Swift production at Suzuki's plant in Hungary started on 11 June 2010[31] to be supplied across Europe. The new car has its wheelbase extended by 50 millimeters over the previous generation and has many visual updates. While the new car looks different from the old one, its design is an evolution of the radical first generation styling with a longer and more rounded appearance. During September 2010, Suzuki in the United Kingdom released the second generation Swift onto British roads.
The new generation is expected to feature a 1.25-litre VVT petrol engine (K12B) developing 92 PS (68 kW; 91 bhp). In some countries, the second generation of Suzuki Swift uses a 1.4-litre VVT petrol engine (K14B) which produces 95 PS (70 kW; 94 bhp).
In Thailand, the Swift was built locally since March 2012[3] and is part of the Thai government's eco-car program. The car was sold there with a CVT automatic transmission on GA, GL and GLX variants; GA and GL variants are also offered with a five-speed manual transmission, without anti-lock brakes.[35] Another variant with the Japanese market RS body kit was later added, as the RX trim.
For the Indonesian market, the Swift was launched on 20 September 2012 at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show and sold in two trim levels: GL and GX, both available with manual or automatic transmission. The GS trim level was added on 6 June 2015, which was launched at the 2015 Jakarta Fair. The GS trim added HID projector headlights equipped with auto-levelling. Sales of the Swift in that market ended in April 2017. It was replaced by the Baleno hatchback in August 2017, which is slightly bigger and positioned in the same class as the second generation Swift, as the third generation Swift was not released in that market.
For the Malaysian market, the Swift was released in January 2013, imported from Thailand. It is available with three trim levels; GL, GLX and GLX-S.[36] The CKD version was later launched in May 2013.[37] A limited edition called RS based on GLX trim with GLX-S' body kit, decals and red accents interior was launched later in June 2014.[38] The facelifted model launched in July 2015 and followed by RR2 special edition based on GL trim in September.[39][40]
2013 update
For 2013, Suzuki updated the Swift with some minor cosmetic changes such as a revised front bumper, L-shaped LED daytime running lights on the foglamp housings, fresh 16-inch wheels, LED-type high-level brake lamp and new seat fabric design.[41]
For the Japanese market, it features Suzuki's newly developed Dualjet engine as well as Suzuki's ENE-CHARGE system and ECO-COOL, implemented from the Suzuki Wagon R. The new Dualjet engine uses the dual-injection system on its 1.25-litre petrol engine and it works by increasing vaporisation, making combustion more efficient. It channels fuel to two intake ports instead of only one per cylinder. With the Dualjet technology and the ENE-CHARGE, fuel economy is now up to 26.4 km/L, calculated based on JC08 mode.[42][43]

Swift Sport (AZG416/ZC32S)
The Swift Sport was previewed by the Swift S-Concept which was showcased first at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show.[44] The production model of Swift Sport is powered by a revised 1.6-litre four-cylinder (M16A) from previous generation Swift Sport's engine and producing 136 PS (100 kW; 134 bhp) and 160 N⋅m (118 lb⋅ft). The 2012 model comes with the option of a six-speed manual transmission or a high performance CVT transmission with seven-speed manual mode and paddle shifters.[45]
Riding on lightweight 17-inch alloys, the car now features a rear spoiler, a large front grille, body kit, new HID headlights and rear lighting clusters. The ground clearance is also lower than the normal version. Inside, designers included leather bucket seats with sporty red stitching and a "Sport" mark, a new steering wheel, and different instrumentation.
In January 2014, The Swift Sport was updated to include a 6.1 inch combined satnav/dab radio infotainment touchscreen as standard.
In the United Kingdom, Suzuki has released another special edition of the Swift, the SZ-R, with a list price of £14,249 and limited to just 100 units.[46][47] In August 2014, Suzuki launched this vehicle for Brazilian market simply as Swift Sport R. It has higher engine output, producing a claimed 142 PS (104 kW; 140 bhp).[48]
The third generation Swift debuted in Japan on 27 December 2016.[59] The hatchback is built on the HEARTECT platform which made its debut in 2015 and is the same lightweight platform used for the production of the hatchbacks Baleno and Ignis. This new lightweight platform made the third generation Swift roughly 10% lighter than the previous generation.[60] Only 5-door body style is available, even though the car looks like a 3-door because the rear door handles are moved to the C-pillar. Despite having similar size as the previous generation (10 mm shorter, 10 mm lower, 40 mm wider and 20 mm longer wheelbase), the boot space is also roughly 20% more spacious (now 246 litres, up to 579 litres when the rear seats are folded), but still smaller than its competitors.[60]

In May 2010, Suzuki announced a demonstration program with 60 Swift Plug-in hybrids in Japan scheduled to start by late 2010.[139][142] Initially sales of the Suzuki Swift plug-in hybrid electric vehicle were scheduled to begin by 2013.[141]
The plug-in car is powered by a 75 PS (55 kW; 74 bhp) and 180 N⋅m (130 lb⋅ft) AC synchronous motor and a 2.66 kWh Li-ion battery pack. Average fuel consumption, calculated by combining fuel consumption during operation on electric power from grid charge and fuel consumption during hybrid operation after depletion of the battery pack is 37.6 km/L on the JC08 cycle (88.4 mpg US, or 2.7 L/100 km). Grid charge time for the battery is approximately 1.5 hours at 100 V and one hour at 200 V.[139][142]
In March 2014, Maruti Suzuki announced that it will provide several copies of the production version, renamed "Swift Range Extender" as part of a pilot project to be conducted in partnership with the Indian government during 2014 to 2015. According to Maruti's tests, the Swift Range Extender delivers a combined fuel efficiency of up to 48.2 km/L (136 mpg‑imp; 113 mpg‑US), with an all-electric range of 25.5 km (15.8 mi). The battery takes nearly 90 minutes to get fully charged. Maruti was awaiting for the implementation of India's National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, which will define the government's purchase incentives for plug-in electric cars.[143]

From 1995 to 2001, the Suzuki Swift nameplate was reused for the second generation Geo Metro in the United States and Canada. It was still based on the previous generation Cultus/Swift's platform and only available as a 3-door hatchback.
In Japan, the Swift nameplate was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the Suzuki Cultus. Outside Japan, the "Suzuki Ignis" name was used. Both three- and five-door hatchback body styles were offered, although the three-door was not offered as part of the regular lineup in Japan.
The Swift was powered by a new generation of Suzuki inline-four petrol engines, the M family. Engine displacements of 1.3- and 1.5-litres were offered, both with a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. The vehicle was available with either front- or four-wheel drive. Vehicles fitted with the 1.3-litre engine were designated HT51S, with the 1.5-litre version assigned HT81S.[144]
The three-door body variant formed the basis of the Swift Sport in Japan, or Ignis Sport in export markets. Introduced in 2003, it featured redesigned bumpers and was fitted with a higher-output version of the 1.5-litre engine, producing 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp). The Sport ceased production in 2005, with the base model Swift remained until 2006 and sold side by side with the first generation global version of Swift since November 2004.[3]
