Despite this, the wheelbase is longer and the body is wider than before, and Suzuki claims that the 2017 Swift is the most spacious yet. The boot has grown by 32-litres to 242-litres, and the car weighs some 30kg less than before thanks to the use of higher-strength steel around the car's body. 2017 Suzuki Swifts can weigh as little as 870kg, and even the high end GLX Turbo weighs just 915kg. The 2017 Suzuki Swift is hopefully the sales shot in the arm that Suzuki Australia needs in a segment that's down 16.3 percent in 2017. Swift sales are down 41 percent year-on-year to just 1,727 sales or 5.6 percent market share. The Swift's main competitor, the Mazda 2, for example has sold 5,080 so far in 2017. The 2017 Suzuki Swift is in dealerships now.
