Production Models

Whether you're looking for a great first car or you just want something simple yet reliable, here's something you might want to look into: the 2019 Suzuki Swift. In this Car Review we'll put on the spotlight the 1.2L GLX CVT variant.

Looking at the latest Swift, it's easy to tell that the subcompact sedan has been transformed in such a way that it looks new and refreshed, yet it still bears the symbolic characteristic of the iconic model. For one, it's 10mm shorter, 40mm wider, and 15mm lower than its predecessor.

The Swift retains the strong shoulders that scream European because of how it looks. It also still has the blacked-out A pillars for wrap-around windows, the dynamic side-window treatment, and the vertically-arranged lamps.

On top of all that, the Swift is packed with new exterior features that make for the aggressive look of the model. The front fascia is highlighted by the front grille with a wide opening that supports its strength. Additionally, the LED illumination of the headlamps and rear combination lamps provide a high-tech impression.

Moreover, the pillar mounted rear doors handles add both style and sporty flair to the Swift. And the illusion of a floating roof is attributed to these blacked-out pillars.

The look is completed through the 16-inch alloy wheels that make the Swift more attractive as it powers through any road.

Let's step inside the subcompact sedan and check out the interior features.

The interior of the Swift is more spacious compared to before, and it's probably because it's wider than the old model. The driver and passengers for sure wouldn't have a hard time moving inside the vehicle especially during long road trips.

Let's check out the new hot stuff inside the Swift.

Here's the steering wheel highlighting the dashboard. It features a D-shaped steering wheel which is usually seen in race cars as this specific style highlights a sense of speed. The rear seats feature easy-to-fold, single action back seats, equipped with head restraint.

Moreover, the new Swift has 50mm longer and 54-liters more luggage capacity than the previous model.

When it comes to added convenience, the Swift comes with a roaster of features that ensure the driver and passengers a convenient experience. The automatic air conditioner features a control panel with three-in-a-row controls for ease of use and a display that uses high-contrast LED lighting for recognition. This, plus all the other advanced technology features of the Swift, makes the subcompact sedan stand out.

It's time to dive into the oily bits.

The variant we have here is powered by a 1.2-liter inline-4 gasoline engine that is capable of producing 82 horsepower and 113Nm of torque. These figures are coupled with the new Continuously Variable Transmission which forwards all power to front wheels.

For safety and security, all Swift variants are equipped with dual-airbags, Anti-lock Brake System, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and three-point seatbelts.
