Toyota has commenced production of the Suzuki Swift in the Republic of Ghana last month. The hatchback will be sold as an SKU model in the local market under the brand’s subsidiary, Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing Ghana (TTMG). The plant in Ghana has an annual production capacity of 1,700 units and approximately 50 employees.
The SKD production of the Swift has been undertaken to strengthen and expand the alliance between Toyota and Suzuki, which concluded a collaboration agreement in March 2019.
Last month, Maruti Suzuki increased the Swift’s prices by up to Rs 13,000, depending on the variant. The carmaker also showcased an accessorised version of the hatchback at Auto Expo 2023. In December 2022, Global NCAP released the Swift’s crash-test results, with the car receiving a one-star safety rating.
