The clones were not officially available in Brazil, and due to the tax break on 1.0L-engined cars the Swift had the 3-cyl. However, since 1.0L engines were not so usual in subcompact sedans at that time, the sedan only had the 4-cyl 1.6L while the hot-hatch Swift GTI had a higher-revving 1.3L 4-cyl.
