The Suzuki Swift has become a favourite amongst South Africans, and for good reason. The value proposition and dependability of past models quickly garnered attention from the buying consumer. Now there is a new kid on the block, and the recipe has changed dramatically with the engine losing a cylinder and the styling taking a new direction.
But as new sales figures get published, it seems the newcomer is quickly gaining traction again. To see whether the new Suzuki Swift lives up to the hype, we will be testing our new long-term Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX auto in various scenarios. But first, here is a quick introduction to the newcomer.
The Months To Come
If the past is anything to go by, when it comes to a small frugal hatchback, the team will be wrestling for the keys of the Swift. But will it be all that? We will be creating various pieces of content, each focusing on a specific area of the vehicle, whether it be the interior trim, exterior styling, powertrain, frugality or just the included tech.
But as mentioned at the end of this first video, this test car is as much yours as it is ours. Please interact with and comment on the videos or social posts, and let us know the specifics you would like to see in our long-term reports. Keep an eye out for upcoming video, written and social content as the Swift gets passed around the office, put through its paces, and used in a variety of lifestyles.
