Suzuki Swift Classic 69 Edition Debuts At BIMS 2024 – Fully Analogue, No Digital

At the ongoing Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS) 2024, Suzuki has showcased a range of exciting models. One of these is the Swift Classic 69 Edition that gets a retro-styled, racing inspired design. Swift Classic 69 was showcased at BIMS 2020 as well. However, it had entirely different skin, colours and features.

Among the features that are an instant draw include the light green exteriors. It is complemented with an exciting contrast created by blacked-out elements. The black finish can be seen on the grille, bumper, fog lamp housings, side moulding, pillars, ORVMs, roof, diffuser and rear bumper.
