2017 Suzuki Swift
The 2017 Suzuki Swift has
been spied undisguised, revealing the final design for the first time, courtesy
of Ferd. The exterior is inline with the alleged official render of the next
gen Swift that leaked last March.
The model featured seems to be the top-end version
of the regular Swift, featuring chrome garnish around the hexagonal mesh
grille, a contrasting red embellisher across the grille, fog lamps, projector
headlamps, diamond cut alloy rims and turn indicators in the ORVMs. It is
reported that the next gen Swift will introduce a new metallic red paint
similar to the Mazda2’s ‘Soul Red Metallic’, which appears to be the exterior
color of the model spied.
The new Swift will be based on the Baleno’s lightweight
platform, and is expected to weigh between 830-930 kg, depending on the
variant. In markets like Japan and Europe, the next gen Swift is reported to
offer a 1.2L Dualjet 4-cyl petrol engine with SHVS and a 1.0L Boosterjet
(turbocharged) 3-cyl petrol engine. Transmission options include a 5-speed
manual and CVT for the 1.2 Dualjet variant, and a 6-speed automatic for the
Boosterjet variant.
The 2017 Suzuki Swift could make its world debut at
the 2017 Geneva Motor Show in March.
