New Suzuki Swift appears online

Sporting a new front fascia with LED daytime running lights for the first time, a fresh wheel design, and side markers relocated to the door mirrors, the new Belgian model’s rear styling is unchanged from the model currently available in Australia.

Australian Swifts switched from Japanese production to Thailand earlier this year, which brought several spec changes to the FZ model that has been available locally since early 2011.

These styling revisions seen on the Belgian model will likely make their way onto local Swifts come mid-cycle refresh time, which will be due in the coming years.

Don't hold your breath though, as Suzuki Australia spokesman Andrew Ellis confirmed with Carsguide that the revised model "is for European-spec only at this stage," and “we'll be staying with (the upgraded Thai-built model) for a while yet.”

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
