To get straight to the point, the SZ-L is not that different than the standard Swift, as it is still based on the 1.3-liter GL five-door. However, there are some subtle modifications also, including chrome bezels for the instrument meters, aluminium effect detailing for the door trims and audio surround, while the heated mirrors incorporate turn signal indicators and are electrically retractable for added safety when parked.
The additional equipment list includes air conditioning, pearlescent or metallic paint, 15-inch alloy wheels, side protection mouldings, interior carpet mats and chrome finish for the exterior door handles, front grille and rear tailgate trim.
The car’s combined fuel consumption is of 48.7 mpg and emissions are 140g/km, which means that is both greener and requires a lower cost of ownership. Moreover, the new Swift SZ-L is eligible for the government scrappage scheme which provides a £2,000 discount when trading in a 10 year old car or LCV.
According to the manufacturer, the model has been launched simultaneously with the Swift 25 years of sales in Europe celebration and the new ‘59’ style registration plate. According to the manufacturer, the Swift has a strong residual value of 59.5% at three years old and with a mileage of 39,00, which places it ahead of the Citroen C1, MINI, Honda Jazz and VW Fox.
