Vehicle Highlights
Introduced for 1989, the Swift came in 2-door hatchback and 4-door notchback form. Riding a longer wheelbase than the 2-door, the 4-door model came in GA, GL, and GS trim, with a 70 horsepower, 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. The GA edition came only with 5-speed manual shift, while other Swifts had a choice of the 5-speed or 3-speed automatic transmission. Two-door hatchbacks came three ways, too: entry-level GA, midlevel GL, and sporty GT. Equipped with a dual-overhead-cam 1.3-liter engine, the GT included a close-ratio 5-speed manual gearbox, 4-wheel disc brakes, sport seats, sport suspension, and 175/60R14 tires. Swift was also marketed under the Geo brand as the Metro.
