Suzuki Swift 2025 launched in Vietnam

The single-tone version is priced at VND569 million, while the two-tone variant sells for VND577 million ($22,160), slightly higher than the previous generation, which was listed at VND559.9 million ($21,470).

This new generation arrived in Vietnam some 18 months after its global launch in late 2023.

The vehicle is imported directly from Japan.

The Swift 2025 features lower-positioned headlamps beneath the bonnet, a wider honeycomb-patterned grille, and LED taillights.

One practical improvement is the return of traditional rear door handles, replacing the hidden design on the C-pillar used in the previous generation, enhancing accessibility and user convenience.

Despite these updates, the Swift retains several signature design cues from its predecessor.

The car measures 3,860mm in length, 1,735mm in width, and 1,495mm in height, with a 2,450-mm wheelbase.

The ground clearance has been reduced to 115mm, contributing to improved handling and road grip.

It rides on 16-inch alloy wheels.

The Swift’s interior features a dashboard inspired by the layout of the Suzuki XL7, a floating nine-inch touchscreen at the center and a driver-oriented climate control cluster.

The infotainment system supports both wireless and wired Apple CarPlay, as well as wired Android Auto.

The steering wheel comes in a dual-tone finish, while the seats are upholstered in fabric with heating functionality available for the front seats.

The Swift 2025 is powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder petrol engine, combined with Suzuki’s 12V mild-hybrid SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) system, producing 82 horsepower and 108 Nm of torque.

The mild-hybrid technology helps reduce average fuel consumption in mixed driving conditions by 18 percent from the previous generation.

Suzuki offers an eight-year or 160,000-km warranty on the accompanying Lithium-Ion battery.

The Suzuki Swift 2025 becomes the only B-segment hatchback in Vietnam equipped with the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) safety suite.

Key features include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist, lane departure prevention support, driver attention alert, automatic high beam, rear cross traffic alert, and blind spot monitoring.

The vehicle also boasts six airbags for comprehensive occupant protection.

In Vietnam, the Suzuki Swift 2025 will compete directly with the Mazda2 hatchback, which is imported from Thailand and priced between VND537 million ($20,560) and VND544 million ($20,830).
