It will be available in two exclusive new colours – Kashmir Blue and Maroon Brown.

According to Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers, the extra features on the Swift anniversary model are worth in excess of $5000.

 

“Pricing for the Swift Limited Edition will start at $17,490 for the five-speed manual, representing only a $1000 premium on the entry level price. The new Swift LE represents extraordinary value, and captures the essence of the Suzuki philosophy of providing quality products with outstanding value for money,” said Mr Devers.

The Swift anniversary model will go on sale on April 1, and would be available for a limited time only, with numbers restricted on the factory-built edition. An April Fool’s day prank we hear you ask...apparently not.

 

“In Suzuki’s 100th year of engineering excellence, the Swift 100th Anniversary Edition is sure to keep Australia’s best light car at the top of the sales charts,” Devers said.

    The Swift is the best value small car by so far - Fiesta has grown into an OK car but you still get more for your money with a Swift. Mazda 2 is again good (I used to own a 121, the old version of the 2) but for what you pay for an entry level Swift, you only get a 2 door in both those cars. Also the Swift is quicker - it may not have as much power but it's obviously used well because several reviews have found the Swift to reach 100km/h in around 10 seconds as opposed to 12 and 13 by all it's competitors - and no that is NOT the Sports Swift.
