The Suzuki Swift 1300GTI, a sporty hatchback produced between 1983 and 1988, marked a significant step forward in Suzuki's performance car lineup. Built on the solid foundation of the first-generation Swift, the 1300GTI was a testament to Suzuki’s commitment to building engaging and affordable performance cars. Powering the 1300GTI was a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine, producing around 85 horsepower in its standard trim. This engine was coupled to a five-speed manual transmission, providing a lively driving experience that was both fun and efficient. The 1300GTI boasted a sporty, low-slung design, featuring a distinctive front grille with an integrated spoiler, aggressive fender flares, and a rear spoiler for added aerodynamic efficiency. This aesthetic, coupled with its nimble handling, made the 1300GTI a popular choice for drivers who appreciated a sporty and engaging driving experience.

The Suzuki Swift 1300GTI's appeal extended beyond its performance characteristics. The car was known for its practicality, with a spacious interior that could comfortably accommodate four occupants. The interior featured comfortable bucket seats, a sporty steering wheel, and a well-designed dashboard. The 1300GTI also offered impressive fuel efficiency, making it an attractive option for drivers who sought a balance of performance and affordability. The 1300GTI's handling was praised for its responsiveness and agility, making it a joy to drive on winding roads. However, the 1300GTI did have its limitations. Its relatively small engine and modest power output meant that it wasn't the quickest car in its class. Moreover, the 1300GTI's suspension was tuned for sporty handling, which could translate into a somewhat harsh ride on rough roads. Despite these limitations, the Suzuki Swift 1300GTI remains a notable vehicle in the history of Suzuki's performance car lineup, offering a compelling blend of performance, practicality, and affordability.
