Suzuki Swift engines are imported from Paris and assembled domestically. More information about the Suzuki Swift is as follows: 1. The Suzuki Swift is a compact car under the Suzuki brand. It has a wheelbase of 2390mm, with length, width, and height measuring 3765mm, 1690mm, and 1510mm respectively. 2. The Suzuki Swift is equipped with two engine options: a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. 3. The 1.3L naturally aspirated engine delivers 91 horsepower and a maximum torque of 115 Nm, with peak power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque between 2500 to 3500 rpm. 4. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine produces 103 horsepower and a maximum torque of 138 Nm, achieving peak power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 4000 rpm. 5. The Suzuki Swift features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
As a long-time owner of a Suzuki Swift for over a decade, I find the engine's origin quite interesting. Suzuki is a Japanese brand, and the Swift's engine was developed and designed at the Japanese headquarters, but the production location varies depending on the model and sales market. For example, the model I bought in 2015 had its engine mainly assembled at the Changan Suzuki factory for the Chinese market, with some parts supplied by local vendors. Cars for the Japanese domestic market, however, directly imported engines from Japan. This localized production helps reduce costs, and the engine quality control is strict—even though it was made in China, the performance is stable and reliable, with excellent fuel economy, and I've had no issues in daily driving. When buying a used Swift, be sure to check the engine block label or VIN code to confirm the production location and avoid getting a car with a tampered odometer.
