The next Swift is on the way: the all‑new Swift Sport. The Swift Sport will be powered by a 1.4‑litre turbocharged four‑cylinder petrol engine with 48‑volt mild‑hybrid assistance and can sprint from 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds.
According to Japanese outlet Best Car Web, Suzuki plans to launch the next‑generation Swift Sport later this year. The launch was delayed from its original schedule. The report says the new Swift will be slightly wider, giving it a more distinctive stance. Suzuki is said to use a stiffer body structure and revised suspension to improve driving dynamics.
148 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque
The Swift Sport will use a 1.4‑litre turbocharged four‑cylinder petrol engine with 48‑volt mild‑hybrid assistance, producing 148 hp and 240 Nm of torque. The outgoing model made 138 hp and 230 Nm from a similar 1.4‑litre turbo with 48‑volt mild‑hybrid support.
0–100 km/h in under eight seconds
The Swift Sport will hit 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds and reach a top speed of 210 km/h. Styling updates are expected to include an aggressive front grille, front‑lip spoiler, side skirts, 17‑inch alloy wheels, dual exhausts and a rear diffuser. Interior upgrades may include semi‑bucket seats, metallic pedals and exclusive trim options.
Price outlook
Maruti Suzuki has never sold the Swift Sport in India, so the next generation is unlikely to arrive there. Limited demand and no local production of the 1.4‑litre turbo unit would complicate commercial prospects. Best Car Web estimates a Japanese launch price of ¥2.3–2.5 million (about Rs 13.3–14.5 lakh).
