2010 SUZUKI Swift 3 Doors 1.6L 6MT FWD (136 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Unlike its 5-door sibling, the Suzuki Swift 3-door was offered with a different engine choice. The 3-door version traded the practicality of a car with doors in the back for a sportier image.

The Suzuki Swift was built into a factory in Hungary and it was designed to fight in the small segment of the European market. Its image on the market was good, with great values for its reliability factor. Its simple design from the previous generation evolved a bit, but it wasn’t that complicated either.

The short front side of the car with rounded hood and curved triangular headlights were part of a sporty image. To keep the car short, the A-pillars were not too raked to the rear. A straight roof and a sharp drop in the back completed the image.

Inside, the 3-door version kept the features that made the Swift pleasant for its customers. It didn’t feature some fancy options. It offered a decent climate control system, an infotainment unit on the center console, and a Japanese-style instrument cluster. The seats in the front were high when compared to a sporty hatchback, but it was necessary to offer them like that for the rear passenger legroom. A small trunk was offered, and it was enough for the weekly shopping.

Under the hood, the 3-door Swift was offered with just two engine choices: a 1.2-liter and the 1.6-liter for the Swift Sport. The former was mated to a 5-speed manual, while the latter was linked to a 6-speed manual.
