Suzuki introduced the third generation for the Swift in 2010, and four years later, it introduced a facelift for the European version, for both three- and five-door versions.
The Swift was one of the most important models for the Japanese carmaker Suzuki. It was designed for urban traffic and managed to achieve great fuel efficiency. Despite its small sizes, the little vehicle built by Suzuki in Hungary managed to offer a good interior room.

While the vehicle was not considered “old” by any standards, Suzuki tried to make a few changes to comply with future European regulations regarding safety and emissions. Thus, the facelifted model featured LED daytime running lights installed in the lower bumper area and slightly redesigned headlights. For someone, it was almost impossible to distinguish the pre- and post-facelifted version from behind.

Inside, the carmaker didn’t consider that there will be needed any changes and, apart from a few minor changes on the trim levels, it remained the same vehicle as before. It kept the split-folding rear bench and the high seating position for all the occupants.

Under the hood, the carmaker introduced a Fiat-sourced turbo-diesel engine. It paired it to a 5-speed manual transmission, and the final result was a very fuel-efficiency vehicle. For selected markets, Suzuki offered the Swift with an all-wheel-drive system.
