New Suzuki Swift Sport to make debut

The new Swift Sport is the result of the first full model change since the launch of the original Swift Sport in 2006.

It has a more aggressive and dignified exterior look thanks to a low-slung form, and a big front grille.

Higher power and lower fuel consumption are delivered by the 1.6-litre M16A engine, which Suzuki developed exclusively for the Swift Sport. The engine is mated to a specially developed six-speed manual transmission.

Suzuki says the new Swift Sport offers “superior cornering stability and brisker, more responsive handling thanks to struts with internal rebound springs and an exclusive rear-suspension design”.

Other features include a light, stiff, impact-absorbing body, seven airbags (including curtain airbags and a driver’s knee airbag); and ESP (Electronic Stability Program).
