The Suzuki showroom on Airport Bypass Road, Accra, was alive with excitement as CFAO Mobility Ghana unveiled the all-new Suzuki Swift.
The event, which brought together over 100 invited guests including fleet owners, individual buyers, members of the Indian community, and automobile enthusiasts, was more than just a product launch—it was a celebration of progress, innovation, and Ghanaian manufacturing excellence.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Adedamola Adelabu, Managing Director of CFAO Mobility Ghana, emphasized the broader significance of the event. “We are celebrating a milestone in innovation, local empowerment, and excellence in mobility,” he stated. He revealed that the new Suzuki Swift is proudly assembled in Ghana at the Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing Ghana (TTMG) assembly plant, using over 1,000 individual components. This makes it the only vehicle of its kind built in the country, blending Japanese engineering with Ghanaian craftsmanship and resilience.
“This is a vehicle that reflects the spirit of Ghana — innovativeness, resilience, and a forward-looking mindset,” Mr. Adelabu said, highlighting the role of local expertise in bringing the Swift to life.
A Global Legacy of Performance
Adding to the excitement, Mr. Fabrice Morin, Director of Operations – Sales & Aftersales, provided insight into the global success of the Suzuki Swift since its debut in 2004. Now in its fourth generation, the Swift has sold over 9 million units and won more than 60 international awards across 20 countries. Mr. Morin described the new model in six succinct words: “stylish, sporty, and fun to drive.”
Prince Hanson Ofosu-Amponsah, Suzuki Sales Supervisor, led a detailed comparison between the outgoing model and the all-new Swift GL+. He highlighted key improvements in design, performance, and safety, making it clear that the latest Swift model sets a new standard in the compact car segment.
The grand unveiling drew applause as guests were introduced to the Swift’s bold, dynamic exterior. The refreshed look includes projector-style headlights, sculpted LED taillights, a premium front grille, and a more aerodynamic, sporty silhouette that exudes modern appeal.
The interior of the new Swift is equally impressive. It features high-quality fabric seats and a floating touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The upgraded instrument cluster and enhanced cabin layout offer drivers a more intuitive and comfortable experience.
Under the hood, the Swift GL+ comes with a refined 1.2L 3-cylinder engine and a fully automatic transmission that replaces the older auto-gear-shift system. It also boasts an Overdrive Off Switch for improved performance on hilly and winding roads—ensuring a responsive and efficient drive.
Safety has seen a significant boost in the new Swift. The latest model now features six airbags, up from just two in the previous version, offering enhanced protection for drivers and passengers. This upgrade reaffirms Suzuki’s commitment to delivering not just efficiency and style, but also dependable safety.
As guests explored the vehicle, captured photos, and interacted with the Suzuki team, the showroom buzzed with excitement and pride. The evening evolved into a dynamic networking session, with conversations centered around the promising future of locally assembled vehicles in Ghana.
“This is not just a car—it’s a commitment to Ghana’s automotive future,” remarked one attendee, echoing the sentiment of many present.
