Here are the PH-spec Suzuki Swift's 4 fabulous hues

The Suzuki Swift is one of the more popular small cars here in the Philippines. The nameplate has been around the country since 2005, and its staying power can be attributed to a variety of reasons.

One of which is its looks.

Who couldn’t say no to a mini car that boasts reliable Japanese engineering with European flair?

And for those whose hearts and tastes have been captured by the compact city car, here are its four fabulous hues to help its would-be owners make a better decision when purchasing the Suzuki Swift.

Mineral Gray Metallic

This Mineral Gray Metallic paint makes the Suzuki Swift a practical city car.

Dust and dirt collected as one traverse the busy streets of the metro are easily hidden in the neutral, ashy hue of this finish. On that note, one’s Suzuki Swift will still look good despite only having occasional washing.

Speaking of which, the Suzuki Swift does make for a practical car for those living in the city.

Its dimensions measure 3,840 millimeters (mm) long, 1,735mm wide, and 1,495mm tall. Thus, it can easily get in and out of tight parking spots as well as make an easy trip of adventures that will require its owners to pass narrow streets and alleys.

Speedy Blue Metallic

While not often associated with speed, blue is a color that is usually linked to the word "fast."

Although the Suzuki Swift cannot achieve speeds akin to the blue Gulf livery-wearing Ford GT40, it does offer a spirited drive — enough to make quick trips to and from the grocery or one’s favorite coffee spot.

Under its hood (or should we say bonnet) is a peppy 1.2-liter K12M engine shared by the Suzuki Dzire. The four-cylinder powerplant is mated to a continuously variable transmission and produces as much as 28 horsepower and 113 Newton-meters of torque.

The said powertrain setup also offers good fuel economy, which is ideal for city dwellers who often have to face heavy traffic during their daily commutes.

Pure White Pearl

As we often say, white is the color of safety as studies have proven time and time again that cars finished in white paint are less involved in accidents.

This Pure White Pearl paint is perfect for those planning to make the Suzuki Swift a family car as the said achromatic color does not easily blend with the surroundings, allowing other motorists to easily spot the car from a distance.

As for the Suzuki Swift’s list of safety features, it includes technologies like SRS (supplemental restraint system) dual front airbags, a host of seat belts, side-impact door beams, an anti-lock brake system with electronic brake-force distribution, a brake assist function, a handful of parking sensors, a reverse camera, and a pedal release system for the vehicle’s brake and clutch.

In addition, the Suzuki Swift also gets child-proof doors and child seat anchorages to help keep the little ones safe on both short and long journeys.

Ablaze Red Pearl

Channeling its inner supermini, the Suzuki Swift looks fierce in this Ablaze Red Pearl color.

Complementing the crimson red finish are a host of aggressive-looking appointments such as its sharp halogen multi-reflector headlamps, fog lamps with daytime running lights, rear combination taillamps, and its set of 16-inch alloy wheels.

Overall, the Suzuki Swift looks like an agile little car that can take on the challenges of the city as well as the trials that await it in the rural cities of the Philippine provinces.

Thoughts

The Suzuki Swift is a car that performs like a reliable Japanese car but looks sexy like other European models. The combination of Eastern manufacturing and Western styling has had many Filipino car buyers in awe, which is why the nameplate has cemented itself as a staple in the Philippine compact car segment.

Suzuki has slapped the Swift with a sticker price of P989,000.
