Suzuki - Swift (2020)

Depreciation Insight

• Like most compact cars, the Suzuki Swift typically loses 15‑20% of its value in the first year.
• After two years, the average depreciation hovers around 27‑30% of purchase price.
• Over a five‑year period, the Swift tends to retain roughly 40‑45% of its original purchase price, primarily due to its low running costs and high demand in secondary‑market segments.
• Even if you purchase a used Suzuki Swift with a higher mileage at a lower price, the depreciation rate at that point is usually only 5‑10% annually.

What is a 2020 Suzuki Swift worth? In most markets, the 2020 Swift falls into the “moderate range” for compact cars: the Suzuki Swift 2020 price compares favorably to the Honda Fit, which typically retails a few thousand yen higher in Japanese and a similar euro amount in Europe, while the Toyota Yaris sits closer to the Swift’s base tier. When you compare used models across the same year, a well‑maintained vehicle with 20,000 km will often fetch a price 10‑15% lower than its LN listing, yet still present better value than a newer model with a similar mileage due to rapid initial depreciation.

Market Position
The Suzuki Swift is a staple of the compact crossover segment in Japan, Korea, and expanding in Europe and Latin America. Its blend of agile handling, lightweight platform, and efficient small‑engine petrol makes it especially popular among urban commuters, city‑center professionals, and first‑time car buyers. In terms of fleet usage, the Swift tops the list of “best‑value small cars” in several countries due to its low maintenance costs and excellent fuel efficiency.
