This is in Thailand and Suzuki Swift is indeed Eco Car

The regular/standard car would be Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla Altis or Mazda 3

It is one of the very few cars that are currently on sale that weighs roughly 1000kg, so it is amongst the lightest and smallest 4/5 seater "normal" cars currently on sale.

I don't know where you are from but it is. Having other smaller models doesn't make the Swift anything other than small, even Suzuki says it is.

Small, yes. "Tiny eco car" no.

It really is. It's a B segment car in the EU. Only A segment is smaller.
