Recently, social media was flooded with posts showing the new Suzuki Swift on a carrier vehicle. The company, Pak Suzuki, discontinued its previous model last year, amid hope that Pakistan would see the next-generation hatchback sometime soon given the company’s preference to remain in this space.
The picture also fuelled speculation around what the new hatchback would have to offer. A number of unofficial resources have indicated that launch of the 3rd generation Suzuki Swift will be in February 2022. The price has yet to be announced, but speculation is rife that it will start around the Rs2.7-million mark.

Here are a few features that seem to be in the offing.
New look

You’ll also find cruise control options on the side of the steering and a push-start button.

Some suggest the 3rd generation Suzuki Swift is estimated at around Rs2.7 million or above. There is a poll going around on what the actual price would be. Let us know here.
