New body kits and alloy wheels add an extra dash of style very cool!
"The small car of the year" said The Dominion Post. "It would
be easy to imagine the Swift emanating from a BMW factory"
added Driver Magazine. "Suzuki's best-ever car" was Auto
Trader Magazine's summing up.
Among ordinary Kiwis the feeling is the same. Our dealers
report Swifts are driving out their doors at unprecedented rates
helped along, no doubt, by the high profile TV campaign
featuring Manchester United soccer superstar Ronaldo!
The new Swift, returning to Suzuki's line-up after five years,
was first unveiled at the 2002 Paris Motor Show as the stunning
Suzuki Concept S. Now, the concept is a world leading, super-
mini reality and the first product of a new design system that
will totally re-define the Suzuki brand as it rolls out over the
next few years.
New Swift hits the eye immediately with its distinctive `wrapover'
lights and fresh, original design.
On sheer value, new Swift stands out again. Or rather, "blows
the opposition out of the water" as the Sydney Morning Herald
commented. From only $18,990 you get all the goodies including
air conditioning, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce
distribution (EBD), twin airbags, remote central locking, electric
windows and mirrors and a 6-speaker CD.
Behind the wheel, new Swift delivers performance that
"genuinely sparkles" from its peppy 1.5 litre DOHC engine,
performance-enhanced with variable valve timing. As
The Dominion Post reported "it loves revs and rewards an
enthusiastic driver with an engaging nippiness and verve that
shames many larger, more powerful cars".
Performance is matched with superb, sporty handling from
suspension refinement that feels "a generation ahead of other
Japanese cars in this segment".
See for yourself how this European-inspired beauty puts the
fun back into motoring. As the ads say, tell your nearest Suzuki
dealer you wanna play! You'll find their contact details on the
