Description

2011 Suzuki Swift Car Review & Road Test Video NRMA Drivers Seat. At first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking the new Suzuki was all about smoke and mirrors. See, this second-generation Swift looks just like the old one. But get the tape measure out and it's a different story. The new Swift is longer, taller, and the wheelbase has grown by about 40mm, but it retains that unmistakable Swift look of old. And as with that Swift, Suzuki has managed to keep the starting price at 2005 levels, listing it for $15990. Powering the latest Swift is an all-new 1.4-litre engine, replacing the older, larger 1.5-litre four-cylinder. The smaller engine produces 70kW (down 4kW) and torque has dropped by 3Nm to 130Nm. Importantly, though, the new car is a whopping 13 per cent more fuel efficient than the outgoing model (5.5L/100km manual). And C02 emissions are down too. The new design is structurally stronger than the old model and has seven airbags and electronic stability control, which is standard across the range. As a result, the new Swift receives a five-star ANCAP safety rating. There are three models in the new line-up, and Suzuki has delved into its past to revive the entry-level GA model name. The GA, priced at $15990, is available in manual transmission only. Next in line, the mid-spec GL, starts at $16690 (the four-speed auto version has a $1700 premium). The flagship is the GLX. The manual GLX is priced at $18990, while the auto version breaks the $20K barrier at $20690 <b>...</b>
