Unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show with a 1.4-litre turbocharged K14C Boosterjet engine shared with the Vitara S, 140 PS and 230 N·m from 2,500 rpm, with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. It has new front and rear bumpers, a rear spoiler, 16- or 17-inch alloys, dual exhaust, wider tyres, a chin spoiler and a red-accented interior. In June 2020 the European car gained Suzuki's SHVS 48-volt mild hybrid (K14D Boosterjet with dual VVT and a smaller turbocharger, 129 PS and 235 N·m) to meet Euro 6d, weighing 55 kg more than the old manual. It never got the regular Swift's facelift. Limited editions included the Italian Swift Sport BeeRacing (March 2018), the 100-unit Red Devil for Australia (June 2018), the 30-unit Dutch Katana (May 2019) and the 7-unit Italian World Champion Edition (February 2021); tuner Tommykaira made the m14 in 2019.
