Current Nepal-market Swift trim from the official distributor.
Cons
Priciest Swift listed.
Value is mostly style and convenience.
Official Nepal page is sparse on equipment detail.

Our verdict

Their ex-showroom prices are close enough to ignore, so specification decides it: the Suzuki Swift leads on dealer and service reach.

Choose the Suzuki Swift if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 15 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 30); 27 more showrooms in Nepal (70 vs 43).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.

What we have actually checked

Price movements we logged
2 recorded since September 2026

Each is a dated change we applied to a published ex-showroom price after checking it. A logged change may be a distributor's revision or our own correction coming into line with the official figure — the log says which way each one moved, and when, not why.
