Suzuki's Swift gets bigger

Suzuki has shown pictures and preliminary specifications for its new Swift and it grows in every dimension.

This new, third generation Swift goes on sale as a three and five door model in the UK late this year, so expect it here soon after.  Suzuki held the world premiere line-off ceremony yesterday for mass production of the new car at its Magyar Suzuki Corporation production facility at Esztergom, in Hungary.

The all-new Swift is positioned as Suzuki's latest world strategic model and makes developments in styling, impact safety, driving performance, handling, improved fuel consumption and significantly lower emissions.

Extensive use of higher strength steel makes the new body shell lighter and stiffer than before as well as offering refinement in underbody design.

This latest body design has also helped improve impact safety for pedestrians as well as occupants.

Increased track and larger diameter wheels with lower profile tyres allow for better handling.

The interior design now has a more dynamic feel, featuring black as its keynote colour with accents of silver throughout the car.
