The Suzuki Swift is a subcompact car manufactured by the Japanese automobile company Suzuki. It was first launched in September 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, and the first generation Swift was globally launched in 2005, branded as a sporty subcompact car. It was an instant hit worldwide, with double the forecasted sales. The car was introduced in Pakistan in 2009 by Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited, with a 1.3-liter M13A petrol engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. However, it was discontinued in Pakistan in 2021.
In 2010, the second-generation Suzuki Swift was launched, featuring a larger wheelbase and a more rounded design language. It received a facelift in 2013, which included an updated front bumper, L-shaped LED DRLs, fresh 16-inch wheels, LED-type high-level brake lamp, and new seat fabric design.
In 2017, Suzuki unveiled the third-generation Suzuki Swift, a 5-door hatchback with a lighter body and improved design. It was equipped with Suzuki's mild hybrid technologies such as an integrated starter generator, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. In 2020, the car received a facelift with a new radiator grille, alloy wheels, and a dual-tone color option.
