The eagerly awaited next-gen Suzuki Swift Sport is just
months away from going official. An Auto Plus reader recently spied a 2017
Suzuki Swift Sport test mule in Morainvilliers, France.
The 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport will apparently feature
a sporty body kit, revised front bumpers, sporty alloy wheels and dual circular
exhausts. The interior could have an all-black theme and see increased usage of
leather on certain elements and chrome accents.
The 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport is said to be offered in
multiple configurations internationally. Some markets could get the 1.0-litre
BOOSTERJET turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, for others, the all-new
Swift Sport could be a hybrid. The top-end international-spec Swift Sport would
be powered by the 1.4-litre BOOSTERJET turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine
that is currently offered in the Vitara and S-Cross.
Maruti Suzuki is reportedly considering the Swift
Sport for India, and if approved, it could be launched with the Maruti Baleno
RS‘ 1.0-litre BOOSTERJET three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 100 Hp at 5,500 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 1,700-4,500 rpm. The bigger
and much more powerful 1.4-litre BOOSTERJET engine may not prove to be
economical for India.
