Suzuki has politely declined to share the Suzuki Swift and Jimny models with Toyota despite ongoing collaboration between the two companies and numerous rebadging of models in the past. According to Autocar India, Toyota is very interested in badge engineering the iconic Suzuki Swift and Jimny, having already previously rebadged the Toyota Glanza (Suzuki Baleno), Rumion (Ertiga), and Urban Cruiser (Grand Vitara).

Following the concept preview in October, the fourth-generation all-new Suzuki Swift now makes its world debut, bringing forth a refreshed design, new powertrain, and updated ADAS features.

Like all concepts, the numbers aren’t set in stone yet but the little stand next to it indicates the inline-3 will have VVT and the aforementioned mild-hybrid system but is unfortunat

It has been a very Suzuki-focused week recently. News of the Japanese marque returning to Malaysia was confirmed in early-April, followed by the launch of the 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport here. But the Swift Sport and the soon-to-be-launched Jimny are not mainstream models. Far from it, really, as the two are there to build the Suzuki brand image in Malaysia, less so about capturing massive sales. For Naza Eastern Motors to have a chance of succeeding in Malaysia, they need to sell models that have a
