The turning circle compared to other Suzuki models
In the family of Suzukis, the Swift isn’t the smallest dancer – that honor goes to the Suzuki Alto with its 9.2 meters – a size shared with no less than the first generation Swift. But against the Suzuki Across, with its limousine-like 12.0 meters, or the Suzuki Vitara and SX4 S-Cross both twirling at 10.4 meters, the Swift is surely the family’s Fred Astaire.

How does the turning circle of the Suzuki Swift compare to it's nearest competitors?
When lined up against its rivals, the Swift's nimbleness really hits the limelight. Tipping against the Opel Karl at 9.8 meters, Swift undercuts it with a 9.6 meters circle, making tighter turns look easy. Hyundai’s Atos may turn at 10.4 meters, but it's just that bit more portly in comparison. Even the Alfa Romeo Arna and the Ladas of the world, at a truck-like 10.8 and 11.4 meters respectively, can’t match the finesse of Swift’s balletics. And when you really peel your eyes, the Swift makes the Aston Martin Cygnet's 7.8 meters look like a sumo wrestler doing a cartwheel — fun to watch but not exactly elegant.
