3 years ago when I saw the tail lights on the swift I thought they were just begging for led’s. If anything the rounded style taillight on the swift sport would have looked better and they could have tinted the sports to differentiate them like they did with the Astra. The indicators on the mirrors are a nice touch though. The thing that annoys me about the swift that hasnâ€™t changed is the arm rests on the doors. They look like an afterthought that was clipped onto the door jutting outwards with no attempt to integrate them. They’re hard, too small and uncomfortable. Overall the car is great and sells like hotcakes in Australia. Problem is that if I bought one Iâ€™d probably spend $2000 on accessories like cruise control, premium sound etc. With all the other kit available like automatic air conditioning and upgraded trims and highlights we miss out on they really should consider a 3rd grade to sit above the Swift S. A 6-stack in-dash CD player with MP3 playback and chunkier black buttons would also be nice. The silver and blue buttons look out of place which is odd since I swear Iâ€™ve seen interior shots with an all black head unit before!

BanyakMasukWorkshop said proton12vauto = swift sells for over RM80,000. savvy sells for RM45,000 below.. please do the maths.

By the way..rm80k for 1.5cc then with extra2 thing…so the competitor for Savvy is 1.2cc with CVT then somwhow, malaysian got more money maa..nowdays..willing to pay more… if not why still people pay for vios (1.5) Accent (1.5) etc…

looks more sophisticated than the previous swift,
althught the face-lift is’nt “all that” but it looks younger and the suits the name… swift, the tail light looks better.
how i wish they’d do something dynamic to the interior,

the swift sport is here oredi in malaysia. i know as my office is near their hq and i hv seen the car running around. but, for some reason or other, they are not launching it yet. maybe it’s too expensive after taxes.

[...] Epica, as new Suzuki models have moved away from GM rebadging – these are models like the Suzuki Swift, SX4, and Grand [...]

Still looks boring. Don’t really notice much change apart from the rear lamp, and the stylo STYLE badge.

“.. 90PS at 6,000rpm and 118Nm of torque a 4,400rpm, pretty respectable for a tiny 1.2 liter engine..”

And you want to rev your poor little car to 6000rpm? You must be crazy, poor swift will die in no time LOL.
In reality you’d drive at 2000-3500rpm most of the time.

will this model sell in malaysia?

Hicom (Suzuki Malaysia) should have released the CKD by now. Too long already since 2005, and the Swift is ageing and soon will be replaced.

is this for malaysian market? i thought we only have the 1.5vvt here. even the 1.6 sport which has been long launched in singapore is not officially here yet. now there’s a 1.2? hmmm, wonder wht is happening to the ckd plans for the swift.

Paul, can you dig a little for us when the ckd thing is happening and is the 1.2 really coming and will it be ckd and the 1million dollar question is, how much cheaper can they make it? the body seems kinda big n heavy for a 1.2 even with its 90bhp motor.

I think the previous model with the honeycomb radiator grill looked more sporty.

Used to be nice. Now is even better.
Got new engine also.
