In decline here too, but still alive and well.
Suzuki made the most recent Swift a whole lot better a few years ago. The cut more than 200lbs out of the latest generation of car, and it's available in a 1.4L turbocharged mild hybrid 6 speed, in addition to 1.0L and 1.25L versions (turbocharged or not, hybrid or not, all with manual options). The 1.25L is rated for 57mpg combined, while the 1.4 turbo hybid is rated at 50mpg combined. The Swift starts around $13,000usd.
Lots of Chinese and Korean small cars are also becoming available, in both EV and ICE variants. I'm seeing a lot of Ora, BYD, GWM, Haval, MG, Ssangyong, etc. in addition to the typical European options (e.g. Citroen, Renault) and even a few Indian vehicles.
