Key specifications established the Swift’s reputation for nimble handling and efficient performance, making it a favorite among first‑time car owners and city commuters alike.

Depreciation Insights
Suzuki Swift depreciation patterns follow the typical trajectory for compact cars: early steep losses followed by a slowdown in subsequent years.
- First Year: Typically loses 15–20% of its value in the first year after purchase. A 2012 Swift that starts at ¥1,400,000 might be worth roughly ¥1,120,000–¥1,190,000 after twelve months on a low‑mileage, well‑maintained example.
- Second Year: Depreciation slows to 10–12%. By the end of year two, the vehicle usually holds around 70–74% of its original price.
- Third – Fifth Years: Steady annual decline of 6–8%. By year five, a well‑maintained Swift often achieves 50–55% of its baseline price; this makes it competitive in the used‑car market.
- Beyond Five Years: Diminishing returns of 3–5% per year, with the car retaining roughly 30–35% of its original value at ten years.
These percentages assume typical mileage (15–20 k km/year), moderate weather conditions, and standard maintenance. Extreme conditions, floods, or high‑impact accidents can accelerate decay.
Comparative Context
When evaluating the used Suzuki Swift price against similar models, it’s helpful to look at rivals in the super‑compact segment.
- Honda Fit (Jazz) – A slightly larger hatchback, known for its spacious interior and flexible cargo space; historically carries a 10–15% premium in the used market.
- Toyota Vios – A sedan that offers more interior room and often appears at 20–25% higher resale values relative to the Swift.
- Hyundai Accent – Shares a similar price bracket; often seen as a value proposition due to warranty coverage, leading to a steadier used Suzuki Swift price trend.
- Ford Fiesta – Very close in dimensions; in the U.S. market, it can command a 5–8% higher resale figure depending on condition.
