Compare this car with the previous Swift. Spotted the differences? What’s the matter with you? The new car is clearly 90mm longer, has an extra 50mm in the wheelbase, and features ESP as standard. Tsk. Must try harder. And the new Swift is a better car. The body is stiffer and safer, the brand-new chassis feels more agile with no ride penalty, the engines are cleaner, and the recalibrated steering is quicker and more accurate. Shame about the asthmatic 1.2 VVT engine. It’s the only engine available at launch, but the 1.3 DDiS diesel engine follows early next year.
