Suzuki Motor Thailand has showcased the 'Auto
Salon Version' of the Suzuki Swift Sport at the ongoing Thai Motor Expo. The
special edition of the performance hatchback carries a handful of cosmetic
updates that aim to make the car look even sportier. The visually enhanced
model was first seen at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2018.
The Suzuki Swift Sport Auto Salon Version features a
matte black base paint that comes from the Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycle. The
front-end is characterised by bright orange highlights on the lip spoiler. The
frame of the radiator grille is finished in a satin grey colour.
The side profile of the sporty small car carries
exclusive decals, bright orange highlights on the side skirts, 'Sport'
branding, bright orange ORVM caps, and five-spoke alloy wheels with gloss black
paint finish, with the same paint shade also lavishing the roof. Highlights of
the rear include a new bumper with bright orange highlights and a roof-mounted
spoiler.
The Suzuki Swift Sport measures 3,890 mm in length,
1,735 mm in width, and 1,500 mm in height. Powering the performance-focused
version of the favourite small car is the K14C 1.4-litre Boosterjet engine that
outputs a maximum power of 140 PS at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 230 Nm from
2,500-3,500 rpm. The turbocharged petrol engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual
transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, which spins the front wheels.
