First details about new Suzuki Swift Sport emerge
Posted by godong car on Wednesday, 29 December 2010
Almost one month ago, it was reported (earlier post) that the launch of the new Suzuki Swift Sport has been postponed until next autumn. Now, an article published by a Japanese magazine claims that the engine is going to based on the one fitted in the previous generation, M16A with dual VVT, and power will go up to 135 hp. Still no info regarding the available gearboxes, if there is a choice.
The price is expected to be around 1,700,000 ¥.

New Suzuki Swift Sport launch postponed
Posted by godong car on Wednesday, 24 November 2010
The launch of the new Suzuki Swift Sport was intended for spring 2011, but according to a report from a Japanese magazine, it has now been postponed until next autumn. The reason behind this has to do with engine improvements, as Suzuki aims to achieve 30% improvement in the fuel consumption. The engine will also feature a stop/start system and a decision regarding gearboxes has been made yet (manual or CVT).

Live photos of all-new Suzuki Swift 3-door and 5-door (part 1)!!!
Posted by godong car
Yesterday the first batch of Suzuki Swifts arrived, including the 3-door version. All of them came from Hungary and I noticed that very few top-spec cars had also rear parking sensors fitted. I have to admit that although I still don't like the headlights much, overall it looks much better in reality and the interior is way better that its predecessor. The seat upholstery feels a bit cheap, but the seats should provide good support.
Some of them were also equipped with the auto gearbox and I feel that it is a shame that the CVT gearbox, which also has the option for changing gears via the paddle shifters, is available in Japan only. I really look forward for the Sport version.

A glimpse of the new Suzuki Swift 3-door
Posted by godong car on Monday, 23 August 2010
Those photos appeared on the net showing the 3-door version of the new Swift with a bodykit as well.
To be honest, I am curious to see how the Sport version will look like and I hope that Suzuki will equip it with a decent engine (direct injection, stop/start system and a DSG style gearbox... please).

Details about the new Suzuki Swift
Posted by godong car on Monday, 21 June 2010
Personally, I don't like Suzukis, but the Swift is perhaps the only model worth looking if you are after a small car. The design of the current generation proved to be successful, never got it why though, and it seems that Suzuki didn't want to take any chances. The interior is much more modern and in conjunction with the new LCD display, at last, it's not bad at all.
In terms of the available engines, a new 1.2-liter petrol will be available producing 94 hp, which is capable accelerating the little car from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds (top speed: 165 km/h). To be honest, Suzuki really needs to fit some good engines and it would be good if it could benefit from the use of some VAG engines...
