The Swift’s 1.2ℓ engine delivers unbelievable fuel-economy (4.9ℓ / 100km) without sacrificing output and torque. Despite the engine’s small size, its heightened compression ratio results in better thermal efficiency and powerful driving. The engine’s cooling performance has been boosted to suppress knocking. Improved performance on the powertrain and platform ensures quick and responsive acceleration as well as cornering. With CO2 emissions of only 117g/km, the Swift is economical in more ways than one.

The new HEARTECT frame uses lighter, high tensile steel to form a continuous shape that improves the overall safety and NVH performance of the Swift. The new car body efficiently absorbs and disperses energy in the event of a collision. The Swift also comes with ABS, which helps prevent wheel lock during emergency braking for better stability. To protect the driver and the front-seat passenger, both the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat come standard with SRS airbags.

To boost the overall drivability of the Swift, the cockpit has specifically been designed around the driver. Interior design innovation tilts the operational components towards the driver, thus maximising the level of control the driver enjoys. The new Swift is compact on the outside so you can move around with ease, but roomy on the inside so you can bring all your friends. Extra allowance in the cabin and luggage compartments lets you expand on your plans, your hobbies, and your guest list.

The audio system, equipped with an AM/FM radio and CD player, uses a high-contrast LCD panel for easy recognition (GLX). Connectivity comes in the form of a wired USB connection or through Bluetooth® (GA and GL).
