Swift eras – Suzuki celebrates four decades of Swift

February 12, 2024

Leading up to the launch of the all-new 2024 Swift this Spring, Suzuki reflects on the 40-year journey of its immensely popular global model and provide insights into its evolution since 1983. This extensive evolution has endowed Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC’s) engineers with valuable experience and insight into the desires of their customers for a hybrid small car, both in the short and long term. Renowned as experts in small cars, Suzuki has seen Swift sales surpass nine million units since its global introduction in 2004.

1983-1989:

Originally known as the Cultus / SA310 in Japan, the Swift was introduced in 1983 at the Tokyo Motor Show. It entered a new class of cars with larger dimensions and engines compared to Suzuki’s previous models. Early models featured a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine and leaf spring rear suspension. Later versions boasted a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine known for its smoothness and fuel efficiency. The UK market saw both three-door and five-door hatchback options, including a sporty 1.3GTi variant.

1989-2003:

This iteration, introduced in the UK in 1989, showcased a wedge-style design and featured independent suspension. It was available with either a 1.0-liter three-cylinder or 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. The GTi variant, with its powerful engine and lightweight design, earned praise as a pioneering hot hatchback of its time.

2005-2010:

Launched in the UK in 2005, this model marked a significant shift in design and driving dynamics. It was developed with European tastes and demands in mind, featuring sporty yet elegant styling. Available with various engine options, including a potent 1.6-liter Sport model, it garnered popularity for its driving performance and design.

2010-2017:

This version, introduced in the UK in 2010, emphasized fuel efficiency, safety, and driving performance. With advancements in chassis design and engine technology, it offered improved handling and lower emissions compared to its predecessor.

2017-2023:

The latest iteration, launched in the UK in 2017, received a facelift in 2021 with enhanced safety features and a new 1.2-liter hybrid engine. Embodying Suzuki’s commitment to innovation, it offers a stylish exterior, spacious cabin, and advanced technology as standard. The addition of a 48V hybrid option further enhances fuel economy and reduces emissions.

Throughout its evolution, the Swift has remained true to Suzuki’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, making it a trusted choice for drivers worldwide.

Suzuki unveils the all-new 2024 Swift

December 6, 2023

This iconic hatchback has undergone a transformation, evolving into a sleek, intelligent compact car with a modern design, advanced safety features, and a playful driving experience that redefines everyday mobility.

A beloved choice among global consumers seeking a stylish and enjoyable driving experience, the Swift has garnered numerous awards since its global debut in 2004.

The all-new model builds upon the success of its predecessors, offering not only an enjoyable driving experience but also prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and safety.

As of October 2023, the Swift has been sold in 169 countries and regions, with total sales surpassing 9 million units.

Key features of new Swift

Dramatic redesign

The new Swift showcases a bold exterior and interior redesign, maintaining its signature elements while introducing a fresh look beyond previous models.

Confidence and adventure define the new Swift’s exterior, featuring a piano-black grille, L-shaped signature lamps, rounded shoulder lines, flared fenders, and a floating roof design with integrated rear hatch spoiler.

The three-dimensional rear combination lamps and wide rear bumper contribute to its stable yet playful appearance on the road.

Vibrant colour options

The new Swift offers a palette of eight single-tone and four dual-tone colours, including the eye-catching Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic and Cool Yellow Metallic.

These colour options, particularly Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic, showcase Suzuki’s commitment to vibrant, high-quality paint.

Interior design revolution

The cabin of the new Swift provides a spacious and comfortable driving environment with ergonomic features including heated front seats.

A sporty, dynamic look is achieved through the wraparound dual-tone black and light-grey dashboard, satin plating, and satin dark silver paint accents.

9-inch display audio

The HD capacitive touchscreen offers a quick and accurate response, supporting smartphone linkage for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Voice recognition, Bluetooth® music playback, and vehicle status information are seamlessly integrated.

New hybrid engine

The new Swift incorporates a 1.2-litre petrol 3-cylinder engine that boasts comprehensive enhancements, resulting in a harmonious blend of improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, along with increased low-speed torque to enhance responsiveness and overall performance.

The new engine is coupled with a mild hybrid system, contributing to an even more environmentally friendly performance. This hybrid system captures kinetic energy produced during deceleration which supports the engine during acceleration, promoting higher fuel efficiency.

Advanced safety features

Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II) employs radar and a monocular camera to detect potential collisions, issuing warnings and automatically engaging brake assist if needed.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) helps maintain the vehicle’s position in the centre of the lane.
Driver Monitoring System (DMS) alerts the driver if signs of drowsiness or distraction are detected.
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and eCall contribute to the overall safety package.

ALLGRIP Auto

The automatic four-wheel-drive system engages when front wheel traction is lost, providing additional traction on slippery surfaces.

Suzuki Connect

Utilizing the vehicle’s data communication module (DCM), Suzuki Connect connects users to their vehicles in real time, offering convenient functions via a smartphone app and the 9-inch display audio screen inside the new Swift.

What a good dealership. I strolled in off the street with some fairly unusual requests and was dealt with very efficiently and to my complete satisfaction.What is noticeable, and not at all common in car dealers, is that there is obviously a very good culture at Tracks. Everyone is very clearly working, but they're also smiling, helping each other and making sure their customers are all happy.Most dealers have that air of toxicity around them, but not Tracks. It's a nice place to be and, judging by the number of cars they're selling, it's how it should be done.

Tracks Suzuki is quite honestly the best dealership I have ever set foot in. I purchased a Swift SZ3 from Tracks in July 2021, after being intrigued by some of my family members, who, at one point, had *four* Suzuki’s on their driveway!Since then, I’ve honestly never looked back. I have sadly dealt with various car garages who have proven to not be overly trust worthy, or have your best interests at heart. However, thanks to Tracks, they have completely and undeniably restored my faith in car dealerships.As of February this year, 2024, I returned to Tracks to seek my next vehicle. After experiencing an amazing customer service over the last two years, Tracks was my first choice. And, of course, they did not disappoint. The service plans at Tracks are so affordable, and yet seem to have a variety of options and lengthy cover for all aspects of your vehicle. It takes the stress out of potentially paying large, one off payments. The team go above and beyond to help you with anything you need, as well as being incredibly warm, friendly, and approachable people.I would like to express my particular gratitude to Anita and Dave on the Aftersales team. They are both an absolute pleasure to work with, and can’t do enough for you should there ever be any circumstances or issues that might be tricky to work around.Lastly, a big thank you to Jack, on the Sales team, who has just sold me my beautiful SX4 S-Cross. I came to Jack with a rather picky list of criteria for my next car, and without shadow of a doubt, Jack exceeded all of my expectations. Not just the spec, or the car itself, but consideration of the price range, after care, and any requirements for an effortless handover. Jack always made himself available to me, whenever I needed to ask a question or seek his support. And everytime, he was so reassuring, kind, helpful, and generally just made this whole process nothing but genuinely enjoyable, fun, and effortless. This is by far the best way I could ever imagine buying a car.I love Tracks Suzuki. It’s the best place, and I will always be its no.1 supporter! I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else now, and I wouldn’t change that for the world either!

Just bought a Suzuki Vitara from Tracks Suzuki! What a pleasurable experience. Came up looking at one car, which wasn’t to my liking, however was quickly shown something more to my taste. After looking around at different garages, I retuned to Tracks as their customer service was perfect, they were keen to help me is every way possible and kept in contact whilst I was making my decision without being overbearing.
I have collected my car today, which was to an impeccable standard, brand new MOT and service. I was shown how to use different aspects of the car and then I was given the keys and had driven away in less than an hour! Perfect service! Thank you Jack for being so patient! It’s just what I was looking for.

Recently part exchanged my Fiat for a used Suzuki Ignis. Very pleased with the deal and with the friendly and efficient service I received from William who sorted out all the paperwork and showed me how to operate its controls and adjust the seats. The car is a pleasure to drive and very economical on fuel, I have been averaging over 60 mpg so far.

Bravo Tracks! After the despair of finding Rowes Suzuki in Plymouth closed, I went to Tracks, even if it is twice the journey. They really could not have been better, an easy swap of service plan, an excellent major service, and a repair to the front wing leaving it looking showroom new. The whole attitude was highly efficient and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough.

Excellent garage excellent car, purchased Sept 2022, I did review positively when bought but wanted to update now that I have had my suzuki boosterjet over a year now. I have had no problems at all with my car, the service I received was 1st class by all in Exeter. I was worried as I'd never bought a car before without seeing it, but they put my mind at rest and kept me completely updated and delivered the car to me. They are fab

We recently bought our second Suzuki from Tracks and just had it serviced. It is so nice to see the same staff year after year, knowing they are the best. Edit: Unusually for Suzuki, we needed a warranty repair - this is why we stay with Tracks; they performed brilliantly getting us back on the road again.

Sadly it’s sometimes difficult to find loyal, honest, and caring people to look after your car - however, I am so pleased that I chose Tracks Suzuki.

Whilst looking for my next car, I found it difficult narrowing down my options. With that being said, I was recommended Tracks by a family member, who was proud to have had nearly 3 Swift’s in the last 15 years! I was so glad I listened to their recommendation as Tracks couldn’t do enough to meet my requirements and I am very confident that I’d buy my next car from them too!

TracksCare is a great service/care plan for my Swift - it’s affordable, the service is great, it covers a lifetime warranty on your vehicle, and you can’t get much better than that. Free labour, discounted parts, and a complimentary coffee and valet too! (Made me feel better when I had to drop my car off first thing on an early morning!) 😉

The team are great and are always happy to help - they’re very accommodating and deal with you in a very professional and friendly approach. I would love to name a few people in particular but I wouldn’t want to be unfair to the rest of the team and therefore I think my appreciation must go towards the whole of Tracks itself, as I’m yet to come across a single person who doesn’t carry that great work ethic. I purchased my Swift from Taunton and now go to the Exeter dealership due to it being more local and both places are equally as great to work with.

Thank you Tracks!
