It is also 15mm lower and 40mm wider, for a low and wide stance. Additionally, the European Swift has a wider front and rear track than the Japanese Domestic model.

Build on a new platform called “HEARTECT”, Suzuki says it enhances fundamental vehicle performance due to its light and rigid construction.
