Suzuki Swift GA Automatic Launched in Australia

Suzuki claims to have solved the ‘entry level motoring’ dilemma in Australia with their new wift GA automatic model that’s been introduced there. As you’d expect, the main sticking point here is not the leather trim and V8 engines, but base price and fuel economy.

The Japanese carmaker claims that their ecommended retail price of just $17,690 can not be matched by any competitor in the light car class that’s currently on sale in Australia. Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers said the new Swift GA automatic opened the door for more customers to afford the value, safety and outstanding driving dynamics of Suzuki’s world beating light car.

“This is a car offering better economy than many smaller-engined city cars, returning outstanding fuel economy of 6.2 litres per 100 km. There are no compromises on safety either, with the GA the only entry level car in class coming complete with seven airbags and stability control as standard. It features creature comforts including electric windows and mirrors, a four-speaker stereo system with USB connectivity and air conditioning as standard. And of course, it comes standard with Swift’s legendary road handling ability and fun to drive performance,” said Devers, according to the official press release.

“With its combination of a long list of standard features and a recommended retail price of just $17,690, the new GA automatic is proof positive of Suzuki’s commitment to providing value for money motoring,” added Davers.

Only time will tell if this is enough for success in the competitive light car market, but since the Suzuki Swift GA automatic is now available from dealers, it won’t take long to find out.
