The third-generation Suzuki Swift (internal codes ZC72S/ZD72S for standard versions, ZC32S for the Sport) was launched in 2010. Although it strongly resembles the previous generation (a gentle stylistic evolution), it is an entirely new platform, slightly lengthened to improve interior space and safety. Positioned as a versatile B-segment city car, it stands out for its dynamic road handling, contained weight, and mechanical reliability (in gasoline) which is among the best in its category. A slight restyling (facelift) occurred in late 2013, bringing LED daytime running lights integrated into the front bumper and turn signals in the mirrors on higher trims. The Swift Sport (1.6 VVT 136 hp) version is particularly popular with enthusiasts for its unbeatable price/pleasure ratio. Overall re
The Suzuki Swift III (2010-2017) is a true master-buy on the used market if you are looking for a gasoline city car. Its naturally aspirated engines (1.2 and 1.6) are models of robustness, offering rare peace of mind in the used car market. Its playful chassis largely compensates for its practical shortcomings (ridiculous boot, basic plastics). The Sport version is an affordable future collector's item. On the other hand, the diesel version (1.3 DDiS) is to be avoided, unless you have absolute certainty that it has only been driven on highways and that its maintenance has been scrupulous.
