Suzuki’s Swift hatchback, launched locally in 2008 with a refreshed version in 2011, has undergone a number of changes and updates for 2014.
The 2014 Swift is available in two specification grades – GL and GLS.
Perhaps the most eye-catching update is the 2014 model's redesigned grille and front bumper. The GLS receives LED daytime running lights, there's a new cooling aperture surround for the GL and the third brake light is now a brighter LED unit.
NEW DESIGN AND EQUIPMENT
The full wheel caps on the GL have been redesigned, the GLS has revised alloys and a new paint colour, Metallic blue, has also been introduced for the range.
Suzuki SA says there's a smarter interior execution with cruise control and Bluetooth added to the GLS that will connect not only with your cellphone but also allow audio streaming from smartphones and Bluetooth-enabled audio devices.
Seats in the GL and GLS versions have, Suzuki says, a more contemporary fabric.
The 2014 Swift range retains Suzuki’s four-cylinder 70kW/130Nm petrol. Equipped with a five-speed manual, fuel consumption is rated at 5.5 litres/100km while the GLS has the option of a four-speed auto rated to return 6.2 litres/100km.
MODEL RANGE
The GL, Suzuki SA says, "matches affordability to well above-average levels of standard features" that include power steering with height-adjustable steering wheel, power windows (front and rear), central locking, aircon, power mirrors, height-adjustable driver’s seat and a multi-function trip data computer.
The rear seat splits and folds and splits 60/40 and the GL has two front airbags as well as anti-lock brakes.
The GLS adds 16" alloys, fog lights, LEDs and front, side and curtain air bags.
SWIFT SPORT
The range-topping Swift Sport remains largely unchanged but does get cruise control and Bluetooth along with its existing 100kW 1.6 engine and stability and traction control.
