Dramatic new exterior and interior design

While maintaining the signature looks reminiscent of its predecessors, the new Swift has undergone a dramatic redesign beyond the parameters of past models.

 

The new Swift exudes confidence and adventure with a piano-black grille and L-shaped signature lamps that flow into rounded shoulder lines, highlighted by flared fenders. 

Side on, the muscular contours tracing the new Swift’s profile, and the floating design of the roof add a sense of energetic lightness.

 

The three-dimensional rear combination lamps, and wide rear bumper give the new Swift a stable yet playful look that stands out on the road.

 

 

 

The new Swift colour line-up consists of nine single-tone options, and four dual tone options, including new colours Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic and Cool Yellow Metallic. Notably, the new Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic joins the Burning Red Pearl Metallic paint scheme as a deep, vivid, candy-like colour tone, symbolising a new era of Suzuki paint quality. Both of these colour options consist of a three-layer coating, resulting in a rich texture and highly saturated hues. 

 

 

The new Swift offers a spacious and comfortable cabin equipped with ergonomic features to elevate the driving experience. 

 

 

Inside the new Swift is a cockpit designed for an immersive and ergonomic driving experience, featuring a centre cluster and controls that are subtly angled toward the driver to ensure ease of use. The wraparound, dual-tone black and light-gray dashboard and front door trim, with satin plating and satin dark silver paint accents, give the cabin a sporty, dynamic look.

 

The 9-inch HD capacitive touchscreen delivers a quick and accurate response. It features smartphone linkage for both Apple CarPlay®   and Android Auto™  through Wi-Fi and USB, voice recognition, Bluetooth®  music playback, and also displays information about the vehicle’s status. 

 

 

Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II)

Millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera are employed to detect vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians in front of the vehicle, and help mitigate frontal, diagonal and lateral collisions. If a collision seems possible, audio and visual warnings are issued to alert the driver. If the driver brakes with insufficient force, brake assist automatically engages to help slow the vehicle. And if the probability of a collision increases, the system automatically applies brake force to help reduce impact force and mitigate damage.

 

When adaptive cruise control is activated, the LKA helps the driver maintain the vehicle’s position in the centre of the lane. In addition, if it senses that an adjacent vehicle or structure such as a temporary roadwork barrier or other obstacle is too close to the driver’s vehicle, it provides steering assistance to help maintain a safe distance.

 

 

A camera built into the instrument panel monitors the driver’s eyes and face. If the system detects that the driver is drowsy, falling asleep, or looking away from the road, it sounds a warning alarm and displays an alert message on the information display.

The new 1.2-litre petrol 3-cylinder engine in the new Swift features improvements all around, combining enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions, with higher low-speed torque for greater responsiveness and overall performance. 

 

In the new Swift, the engine is paired with the SHVS mild hybrid system for further enhanced environmental performance. The SHVS mild hybrid system converts kinetic energy generated during deceleration, and stores it in the lithium-ion battery, and assists the engine when accelerating for higher fuel efficiency. 

 

 

ALLGRIP AUTO is an automatic four-wheel drive system that engages when it detects a loss of front wheel traction. When front-wheel slippage is detected, a viscous coupling engages to transfer torque to the rear wheels, providing additional traction for driving on snow-covered roads or other slippery surfaces. 

 

 

SUZUKI CONNECT utilises the vehicle’s data communication module (DCM) to connect users to their vehicles in real time, enabling users to take advantage of convenient functions via the SUZUKI CONNECT smartphone app. For added convenience, some SUZUKI CONNECT functions are now available via the 9-inch display audio screen inside the new Swift.
