No price increase for the likes of the Swift, Jimny, and Dzire though

Also, note that the Suzuki Dzire, Jimny, and Swift had seen no price changes for their trims. Suzuki Philippines is also yet to disclose the reason for these price adjustments, but if we had to guess, it might have to do with how global business is doing right now.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Philippines has also dropped the Vitara from its current model lineup.
