UPDATE: Price list out, and additional details now incorporated into the story.
The Malaysian launch of the new Suzuki Swift isn’t far away now, and this sighting of a transporter full of them heralds the subcompact’s arrival on our shores. Much thanks go to reader Nelson for this shot, taken in Alam Megah.
Now in its third-generation form, the Swift is slightly longer and more rounded than before. Engines available globally include a 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 litre petrol, as well as a 1.3 litre diesel, but the release of the official price list (thanks go to reader Fandy) confirms that we’ll be getting the 1.4 litre K14B, which offers 94 hp at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
Features for the Malaysian model include dual airbags, ABS and EBD, automatic climate control, 16-inch alloys and a keyless go/push-button start system, according to that mentioned in the price list. At point of entry, two automatic variants are available, the 1.4 GLX and higher-spec GLX-S, priced at RM77,888 and RM83,318 respectively, on-the-road with insurance.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mainly focus on the new third-generation Suzuki Swift, expressing excitement and positive sentiments about its design, which resembles a mini-version of the R8 or a more masculine look. Many are curious about the engine specifications, noting the shift to a 1.4L engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission, and some question if it will be CKD or CBU. There is a strong preference among enthusiasts for a manual transmission version, with many believing it offers better driving control and enjoyment, especially for hot hatch enthusiasts. Concerns about pricing, comparisons to other models like Kia Rio, and the car's performance underpoweredness are also discussed. Overall, excitement is high, but some comments reflect disappointment over features like supposedly lower specs and price increases.
