Suzuki Swift, was newly released for sale in January 2000 as a sister-model of Kei, succeeding the concept of Suzuki's compact car.
The body style of Swift is similar to Kei, that its height is little higher and it has more solid suspension than usual compact cars. Its increased height is precisely calculated in such a way that Swift not only provides a good vision and easy steps to get on and off the car, but also allows parking in tower parking lots. Swift was developed focusing primarily on its silence. When we talk about compact cars, we imagine cars that are economical, but inferior in comfort. However, in the case of Swift, it achieves its silence by suppressing vibrations, which makes it possible to provide a first-class comfort.
As for interior, special attention is paid to each feature; large seats are made of various kinds of materials in accordance with the body pressure distribution, a cup holder for 500cc size (which is very useful!), etc. Rear seat is equipped with a belt for a child seat, and can be folded in 60/40 split.The use of color is also chic.
Swift was silently sent into compact car market, where Toyota Vitz was the absolute No.1. This shows Suziki's great interest and involvement to compact cars, as No.1 mini vehicle manufacturer.
