It can't help getting noticed
The new Swift makes looking great easy. The wide body and long
wheelbase creates room for more stuff and more fun. In fact the
only thing we've made tricky is choosing which model you want.
GL or GLX, petrol or diesel. The Swift really is one of Europe's most
talked about cars. |
Leave the humdrum behind
Roads can be crowded. Road works
can be infuriating. But, when you're in
a Swift, driving doesn't have to be a
chore. Whether you're heading to the
office or the open road, this new
supermini has you smiling all the way.
It's not just the superb handling, or
the responsive engine. It's the iconic
looks, the way it turns heads, and the
fact you can park it in spaces most
cars wouldn't even dream of. |
Designed around you
You don't realise how far the Swift
can take you until you step inside.
There's space enough for you and
your friends and all the little gadgets
you carry around with you.
Sculptured front seats provide all the
comfort and support you need and a
well-designed interior places all
instruments within perfect sight -
with audio controls mounted on the
steering wheel for extra control. And
if we've forgotten anything, the
storage pods all round the cabin
mean you can take any extra things
you might need. But with the design,
including a sporty looking gearshift
and an electromagnetic tailgate that
opens at the touch of a button, what
more could you really want? |
Play hard but play safe
With the new Swift we've set out to give you a
wide and exciting choice of models to enjoy. But,
while we want you to have fun driving them, our
engineers have been very serious in incorporating
a whole host of impressive safety features.
The Swift may be compact, but it's equipped
with loads of safety features. Including ABS
with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) and no
fewer than six airbags. But it doesn't stop
there. Extensive use of high tensile steel and
side protection beams protect from all angles.
There are crumple zones, pre-tensioners and
ISOFIX child seat attachments. It even helps
protect pedestrians with crushable and impactabsorbing
bonnet, wings and front bumper.
Euro NCAP was so impressed it awarded the
Swift a 4 star rating, one of the few superminis
to achieve this. |
Always get a response
The new Swift is great for the town;
it's agile, nippy and can hold its own
in the busiest city traffic. And while
these traits are as useful on the
streets, they are incredibly exciting
when faced with the thrill of a
twisting, turning country lane.
So with a choice of three petrol
engines mated to 5-speed manual
gearboxes you'll have all the power
you need.
Gear changes are crisp and satisfying,
but if you'd prefer there's the added
ease of an automatic on the 5 door
GLX. |
