Vehicle Highlights
Dual airbags and optional antilock brakes highlighted the redesigned front-drive Swift, as well as the similar Geo Metro. A 2-door hatchback body style returned, now on a longer (93.1-inch) wheelbase. The new Swift measured two inches longer overall, and weighed about 75 pounds more. A 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that made 70 horsepower returned as the sole engine. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard; 3-speed automatic transmission optional.
