Just a few days after the next-generation Suzuki Swift was revealed thanks to leaked brochures finding their way online, more details about the B-segment model have been revealed. This time, the specifications sheet of the new Swift has been posted by Japanese site CarDrive, and there’s a lot to take in here.
Based on the spec sheet, there looks to be five (more possibly six) trim levels available for the Japanese market – RSt, Hybrid RS, RS, Hybrid ML and XL. Among them, you’ll find a wide range of powertrain offerings, with the first being made up of the K10C 1.0 litre Boosterjet turbocharged three-cylinder DOHC petrol engine, producing 102 PS at 5,500 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 1,700 to 4,500 rpm, and is paired with a six-speed automatic and two-wheel drive.
Next, there’s the K12C 1.2 litre twin-injector Dualjet NA four-cylinder DOHC petrol unit with 91 PS at 6,000 rpm and 118 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Transmission options include a five-speed manual or CVT, with two- and four-wheel drive available. The hybrid powertrain employs the same K12C combo, but features a 2.3 kW (3 hp) integrated starter generator (ISG) to assist the engine during acceleration and generates electricity during braking.
Moving on, the Swift also comes with new dimensions, where the hatchback now measures 3,840 mm long (+10 mm), 1,695 mm wide (unchanged), 1,500 tall (-10 mm) and with a wheelbase of 2,450 mm (+20 mm).
However, the four-wheel drive hybrid models are taller at 1,525 mm (+15 mm) compared to the rest of the Swift range. Also, depending on model, the kerb weight is between 860 kg and 970 kg. The Swift continues to employ McPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear.
In terms of equipment, the exterior gets automatic LED headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, halogen fog lamps, rear fog lamp, as well as sporty body kit for RS variants. As for the insides, there is a flat-bottom steering wheel, touchscreen infotainment system (with voice command and navigation, automatic air-conditioning and keyless operation.
Safety-wise, there’s seven airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse camera, parking sensors, electronic stability programme, hill hold assist and an optional Safety Pack. The latter introduces additional driver assistance and safety features like Dual Camera Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning and speed limiter.

Front of Audi-Hyundai. Same designer kah?
Why can’t our Proton rebadge the hybrid model? Since Proton is so dumb and cannot produce their own hybrid, isn’t it better they rebadge the Swift hyrbid?
Don’t worry. Suzuki only sell old tehnology to us like the Ertiga. Swift, Landy, Vitara and many others, they will never give to Malaysians.
They only give us unwanted junks like the Ertiga
Then ask your jepunis overlord to give all tech to p1
the designer probably stared at the F-type too much…
Proton please rebadge this to fight the outdated myvi. Without competition, Perodua will continue to sell its outdated myvi and alza
Means Perodua sell rubbish to Malaysian, right?
Iriz is already a good one from proton.. beaten myvi it can
Proton clowns will be like “Put a Proton badge, shut up and take my money”.
So? You’re willing to drive an outdated myvi or a tonggek beta?
Not me… sales figure shows most car buyer prefer non-proton
Sales figure shows p2 is number one.
You’re buying cars by referring to their sales figure? Not test driving it and compare the ride quality? Very funny bro
Next generation Myvi want copy that design
too bad no chance see in malaysia
Proton is stupid if they dont rebadge this to be their next Iriz. In fact let them call it a Proton Swift because the Iriz name sucks.
