[ UPDATE: Click here to read a test drive report of the new locally assembled Suzuki Swift! ]
The locally assembled Suzuki Swift was launched in 1 Utama today and goes for RM71,943.50 for the normal version and RM78,099.50 for the Swift Premier which includes additional equipment such as leather seats, a sporty bodykit, and VKool tint.
This is a drop from the previous price of RM89,783.50 and RM94,387.50 for the Swift and Swift Premier respectively. The bigger difference in prices between the Swift and Swift Premier is due to the fact that previously the sporty bodykit was a standard feature on both the Swift and Swift Premier, but now only the Swift Premier has it.
The Suzuki Swift Sport is also available in CBU form for RM99k to RM104k, but prices have not been finalised.
