Maruti Swift Convertible (render)


Automotive graphic artist, Theophilus Chin, has imagined the Suzuki Swift Sport with a foldable roof top. 

The Suzuki Swift somehow pulls off the cabriolet bodystyle. The exterior appears to be retro and chic at the same time, and would be a cheaper alternative to more expensive cabriolets such as the Mini Cooper Convertible or VW Beetle Convertible.


The cabriolet in the render is based on the Suzuki Swift Sport, which packs a 1.6L VVT petrol engine capable of 136 PS and 160 Nm of torque. The Swift Sport takes 8.7 seconds to hit 100 km/h, while a cabriolet could take slightly longer, thanks to the heavier roof-folding system. A 6-speed manual transmission and ALLGRIP AWD is offered in the Swift Sport.

Hatchback convertibles and three-door hatchbacks cater to niche markets, and are a dying race. Should Suzuki ever introduce such a product, it would be the least expensive hatchback cabriolet in the market.
