New Suzuki Swift Spotted – Is Launch Near?
If you remember, we told you that the new Suzuki Swift would be launched in Pakistan in February 2022. And now, a unit of this upcoming car has been spotted on a car carrier, increasing the excitement. In a series of pictures, you can see the car on a carrier; however, it is unclear whether it is a CBU unit or a CKD one.
Still, its presence on a carrier shows that Pak Suzuki is transporting the car from one point to another. So, there are chances it can be a locally assembled unit. But right now, we all can just wait and watch because one thing is clear the launch is not that far away.
As per some sources, the company will launch the car in the third week of February, meaning less than a month is left in the car’s launch.
Expected Engine Power
The company will launch the car with K12C (1250cc) Dualjet inline-4engine in Pakistan, possibly mated with5-Speed Manual or CVT Transmission. Although there is another variant of a 1000cc Turbo engine in the international market, it seems Pakistan will get the first one. We think there is a valid reason for launching the 1250cc one in Pakistan.
The displacement of old Swift was 1395cc, and owners had to pay higher token tax, which affected car sales to some extend. Now the 1250cc engine displacement will be a relief for the owners because it means lower token tax.
Expected Price
The sources told us the company would launch in the price range of Rs. 27-28 lakhs. And if it is true, then we think it is a bit high because you can buy Changan Alsvin, Toyota Yaris, and even a base variant of Honda City in this price range. And most Pakistanis like to buy a car with Diggi. However, car lovers will buy it anyways because this new engine will be highly efficient.
We hope that the company will launch the new Swift at a competitive price. And the car proves to be a great addition to the local market. Furthermore, the sources told us that Pak Suzuki is very hopeful that the new Swift will be a hit among the local consumers.
