2024 Suzuki Swift price and specs

Suzuki Australia has introduced two new blacked-out Swift variants to the local line-up, though they’re not available nationwide.

Suzuki has two distributors in this country – Suzuki Australia and Suzuki Queensland – and the Swift line-up varies depending on state.

The Swift GL Shadow and GLX Turbo Shadow are available in every Australian state besides Queensland.

They’re priced from $28,490 drive-away and $33,990 drive-away respectively, which are $4500 and $2700 more expensive than the cars they’re based on.

For this extra money the two Swift models gain 16-inch black alloy wheels, black side mirror covers, black decals, as well as a Shadow badge. All other specifications are identical.

As previously reported, Suzuki Australia has been rolling out a range of permanent blacked-out variants. The Swift Shadow is now the final piece of this puzzle.

The range technically started with the limited-edition Baleno Shadow that was introduced as a send-off special, and was then followed by the Ignis Shadow and Vitara Shadow.

The current, third-generation Swift hatchback was revealed in 2016 and received a facelift in 2020.

Until the end of August this year, Suzuki has sold a total of 4615 examples of the Swift in Australia. This makes it the second top-selling light car, following the MG 3 (10,642 sales).

The Suzuki Swift has outsold the likes of the soon-to-be-axed Kia Rio (3943 sales), Mazda 2 (3548 sales), as well as the Toyota Yaris (1277 sales).
