Had one of these on hire for a few days in Thailand, but its badged as "dueljet" - I thought this was what a Swift Sport looked like rather than a Swift?

My hire car was an auto so not all that amazing, but curious whether it's a Thai equivalent to a Sport?

My guess is it was a Swift 1.2 dueljet auto. Not a sport. You can buy them over here.

As you can see from the picture it looks sporty.

What's a dueljet? Compared to a Sport?

Dueljet is 1.2 with 83bhp, Sport is 1.4 boosterjet with 140bhp although the later mild hybrid ones have a bit less power.

Only unusual thing about that one is it does appear to have the sport tailpipes, maybe just cosmetic.

How quick was it? Big difference between 83bhp and 140bhp.

Definitely not quick, far as I can see all the rental ones and possibly all Swifts here have the twin exhausts and maybe a bit of body kit? Seems quite squat and purposeful. But no actual go. Hence my confusion.
Compare the rear undertray thing with a UK 1.0 booster jet:

An actual UK Swift Sport has the exhausts further apart and a different undertray:



I thought the UK Swift Sports were wider, arches? No?

I’d imagine it’s just a regional specific specification that we don’t get here.

An early 00s Ripspeed filler flap too.

Eta - The rear valance/diffuser looks aftermarket too, thinking about it.

Mid range model with a sporty kit added after.

Bit like the swift attitude in this country. Bog standard model but with bodykit to jazz it up a bit
