The Suzuki Swift Sport was an incredibly simple machine harking back to the days when you could stop on the side of the road and fix pretty much any issue the car might have had with a set of spanners and a hammer. Of course, it wasn't THAT simple, but that was the impression it gave.

It was a chassis with four wheels, a naturally aspirated engine, a manual gearbox and, most importantly, a driver. It was light, it was nimble, it had good handling and, even though it wasn't, it felt fast. Oh, and it was plenty cheap as well.

The new Suzuki Swift has just been introduced, and even though its starting lineup misses a Sport version, the Japanese manufacturer promises to include one in the future. The sad news is that it will most likely get a 1.4-liter turbo unit, but the good news is that everything else will remain unchanged.

The exterior design is also worth mentioning. The Swift retains that high cabin of the old generation, but it gets more modern lines and a desirable look. We see no reason why the Sport version won't resemble this rendering a lot, with a new bumper, larger air intakes, and bigger wheels. The only thing missing are the two stripes down the middle.
