new swift sport: an evolution of swift series' sporty flagship
the new swift sport is a refined sports compact and 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 ground-hugging form that gives a sense of stability and tension and a big front grille that hints at the performance within. and its cabin combines essential sportiness with a high-quality look and feel, as well as, design features that heighten the excitement about the driving experience.
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, resulting in performance that is both exciting and environmentally responsible. plus, 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.
high levels of safety are assured by features such as a light, stiff, impact-absorbing body; seven airbags (including curtain airbags and a driver's knee airbag); and esp® (electronic stability program).
