It’s Sporty, Smart, and Small—It’s the Suzuki Swift!

Before the Suzuki Swift came into being, the Cultus was Suzuki’s prime subcompact that has been manufactured and sold throughout the world. The Cultus was marketed with four body types: as a three-door hatchback, a two-door convertible, a four-door sedan, and a five-door hatchback. The Swift soon came as the rebadged Cultus in 2000, but before we say “And the rest is history,” let’s take a look at what makes this little car such a big gem in the industry.

•    Keyless Entry and Start – Using keys to unlock cars is so last generation. With the Swift, you can unlock the Swift and start its engine without even fumbling for your key. This is extremely helpful if you’ve got an armful of shopping bags and need to open your car right away.

•    Under the Hood – Buyers can choose between a 1.2-liter gasoline engine or a 1.3-liter diesel engine, and between a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic (available with the 1.2-L gas engine only).

•    Modern media and Bluetooth. – Nowadays, we can bring our favorite tunes with us wherever we go. Through our phones and portable media players, our music keeps us company. The Swift knows this and so it has a USB port for all our mobile media needs. Also, when you’re driving, you should focus on your driving and not on your phone. The Suzuki Swift has been equipped with Bluetooth technology for hands-free operation for phones and other electronic gadgets.

•    Safety counts. – The Swift has been given a 5-star rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme, which means that the car did exceedingly well in safety and crash tests. The car is equipped with seven safety airbags for the protection of passengers and Mazda’s especially-developed ESP, or Electronic Stability Program that can be considered as the car’s ‘sixth sense’ when it comes to making sure the car has a stable grip on the road. The other safety features include ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, 3-point ELR seatbelts, and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

The Suzuki Swift has more notable features in terms of security, storage, entertainment, styling, comfort, and performance. There’s nothing like driving one yourself to know the rest!
