JAKARTA - The latest generation of Suzuki Swift was caught on camera in Indonesia, where it was seen being in the Cimahi area, West Java.

From VOI's monitoring on the automotive influencer Instagram page @indra_fathan, the appearance of the latest generation of Suzuki Swift, which recently launched in India, is very clear.

"Who misses Suzuki Swift? Apparently the latest version is already in Indonesia, even walking in Cimahi City," the tweet read.

As is known, Suzuki Swift herself in Indonesia has been stopped in 2017, to be precise when she stepped on generation II. Even the third generation of SIS never included the model in her line-up list. His position was replaced by Suzuki Baleno Hatchback which was sent under a CBU scheme from India moments later.

Is it true that Suzuki Indonesia will take this new model to Indonesia again? Responding to this 4W Marketing Director of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales Harold Donnel spoke up.

"In response to the images circulating on social media, that the ownership of the blue Suzuki Swift vehicle does not belong to Suzuki Indonesia. Maybe the buyer bought it from a general importer. We express our gratitude and appreciation for the choice of consumers who are still buying global Suzuki products," he said, when contacted by VOI, Thursday, June 20.

Talking about the latest generation of Suzuki Swift, it is a relatively very new product. This car was introduced as Swift Concept in October 2023 and started production in Japan starting on December 6, 2023. Meanwhile, production outside Japan was only carried out by Maruti Suzuki, India, precisely in March 2024.

For the Indian market, it was officially present on May 13 with various changes from the previous generation. This fourth generation Hatchback comes with a sporty and dynamic design with manufacturers maintaining its distinctive silhouette, but is equipped with LED lighting on the front.

Moving to the cabin, this car has a driver-oriented dashboard with an 8 degree slope that creates alignment between the driver and the car. In addition, the car has a modern flat-bottom steering wheel.

Interestingly, unlike before, Swift was recently equipped with a new Z-series engine that is not only designed for driving pleasure but also for sustainable mobility. The machine has a capacity of 1,197 cc which is claimed to offer low emissions and can pump up to 81.58 ps of power at 5,700 rpm and a peak torque of 111.7 Nm at 4,300 rpm.

In addition, the internal part is equipped with water pump as engine cooling and a Lambda water-flow sensor that can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 12 percent. The manufacturer claims, this system has fuel efficiency of up to 25.75 km/l.

"Just pray," when asked to bring the latest model to the Indonesian market.
