More affordable 1.2 Swift hatchback model

The Swift 1.2 augments the existing Swift range, and will be offered with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, and in two specification levels.

“The addition of the 1.2 variants to the Swift family not only brings that nameplate’s undisputed attributes to a wider audience, but also acknowledges the increasing demand for smaller-engined, fuel-efficient models that link affordability to quality, safety and comfort,” says Francois van Eeden, Suzuki Auto SA’s national marketing manager.

“The GA model, in particular, has been priced to allow budget-conscious buyers to experience the Swift’s frugality, interior comfort and driving fun. The GL version provides the efficiency benefit of our new K12 engine, without compromising on the comprehensive features list Swift owners have become accustomed to.”
