=== International (1983–2003) ===
The Suzuki Swift nameplate began in 1984 as an export name for the [[Suzuki Cultus]],<ref name="whp100"/> a [[supermini]]/[[subcompact]] car manufactured and marketed worldwide since 1983 across two generations and three body configurations—three/five-door [[hatchback]], four-door [[sedan (automobile)|sedan]] and two-door [[convertible (car)|convertible]]—and using the [[Suzuki G engine]] family.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

The Swift was marketed in the [[Japanese domestic market]] (JDM) as the Cultus and elsewhere as the Suzuki SA310, Suzuki Swift, Suzuki Forsa, Chevrolet Swift, Chevrolet Sprint/Sprint Metro, [[Geo Metro]], Pontiac Firefly, [[Maruti 1000]], [[Holden Barina]] and [[Subaru Justy]]. The Swift-badged Cultus ended its production in Hungary in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kemma.hu/helyi-kozelet/2022/10/kepeken-a-mi-autonk-30-eve-keszult-esztergomban-az-elso-hazai-gyartasu-suzuki-swift|title=Képeken a Mi autónk: 30 éve készült el az első esztergomi Suzuki Swift|language=Hungarian|date=6 October 2022|website=www.kemma.hu}}</ref>

In Japan, the Swift nameplate was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the [[Suzuki Cultus]]. Outside Japan, the "[[Suzuki Ignis]]" name was used. Both three- and five-door [[hatchback]] body styles were offered, although the three-door was not offered as part of the regular lineup in Japan.

The Swift was powered by a new generation of Suzuki inline-four gasoline engines, the [[Suzuki M engine|M family]]. Engine displacements of 1.3- and 1.5-liters were offered, both with a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. The vehicle was available with either [[front-wheel drive|front-]] or [[four-wheel drive]]. Vehicles fitted with the 1.3-liter engine were designated ''HT51S'', with the 1.5-liter version assigned ''HT81S''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/SUZUKI/SWIFT/ |title=スズキ スイフト(SWIFT) カタログ グレード一覧 |trans-title=Suzuki Swift grade catalogue |language=ja |work=Goo-net |publisher=Proto Corporation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110623023407/http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/SUZUKI/SWIFT/ |archive-date=23 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The three-door body variant formed the basis of the Swift Sport in Japan, or Ignis Sport in export markets. Introduced in 2003, it featured redesigned bumpers and was fitted with a higher-output version of the 1.5-liter engine, producing {{convert|115|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}}. The Sport ceased production in 2005, with the regular Swift (1.3-liter SE-Z trim) remaining until 2006 and sold side by side with the first generation global version Swift since November 2004.<ref name=5milion/>
