About the Suzuki Swift
Last updated Oct 23, 2024The 2023 Suzuki Swift has received some minor specification adjustments including a new, larger touchscreen, but prices have increased. Light, fun and affordable. There's plenty to like about the newly facelifted Suzuki Swift.
Suzuki has two distributors in this country – Suzuki Australia and Suzuki Queensland – and the Swift line-up varies depending on the state.
For 2023, outside of Queensland you can buy a Swift in GL S, GL S Plus, GLX Turbo and Sport guises. The old GL and GL Plus no longer appear on Suzuki’s website, and the new GL S and GL S Plus include LED headlights, climate control air-conditioning and keyless entry and start as standard.
In Queensland, the range comprises GL Navigator, GL, GL Plus, GLX Turbo and Sport, with the new national GL S and GL S Plus marketed as the GL Limited Edition and GL+ Limited Edition.
