Humble Counting
Suzuki Proudly Announces that it has now sold 10 million units of the swift worldwide. An unimagate number, or course, but in reality, there are many more!
A thousand cars are a lot, ten thousand cars are a difficult number to imagine, and a million units are completely incompreehensible. Not to Mention 10 Million. Suzuki Says It Has Sold That Many Units of the Swift Worldwide. The Japanese Deserve Praise For That, But The Brand is far too Modest. There are actual many more suzukis sold that are called swift.
Among The 10 Million Units That Suzuki Has Sold of the Swift in Total, It Only Counts The Current Generation of the Swift and The Three Before It. In Other Words, Suzuki Only Counts from the generation of the swift presented in 2004, The Model Whose Basic Shape is Still Present in The Current Swift. Anyone who is a bit familiar with the car world knows that a swift also existed before 2004. There is a reason for that. Only from the model presented in 2004 was The Swift a so-called ‘World Car’ That was Actually Sold as Swift Almost Everywhere in the World. The swifts that were Delivered in Europe Before 2004 are not seen by suzuki as ‘real swifts’. And the brand is very right about that.
This Swift, introduced in 2004, is The Third Generation for US Europeans, but is Seen by Suzuki as the First.
The Model introduced in 1983 that we European see as the first generation swift was called ‘cult’ in its home country Japan. Suzuki Came Up With ‘Swift’ for the European Market. In The United States, Indonesia and Canada, Among Others, The Model was Known As Forsa, in Pakistan As Khyber. Suzuki also chose the model name Swift for the successor to this generation of cult in Europe. In short, The Hundreds of Thousands, If Not Millions, or Cultus Units That Were Sold in Europe Between 1983 and 2004 As Swift are not included in the 10 Million Units by Suzuki. Last Tidbit: Or the 10 Million Swifts That Suzuki Talks About, 14% Were Sold in Europe. That’s about 140,000 units.
