Suzuki Australia has launched the ultimate expression of its award-winning Swift light car: the all-new Swift Sport.
Almost every element of the car has been redesigned, with an evolutionary and aggressive new look, an upgraded handling package, dramatic powertrain revisions and five-star safety.
Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers said Suzuki had engineered even higher levels of performance and styling, combined with outstanding environmental performance to produce a hot hatch for 2012 and beyond.
“The all new Swift Sport represents the essence of the Suzuki philosophy that driving a compact car does not mean having to settle for less.

“It characterizes the ongoing evolution of our most popular model by the masters of light car engineering to create the sporty flagship of the Swift range.
“The engineering team was driven by the goal of creating the ultimate Swift, but one that was within reach of all hot hatch fans.”
While one look confirms the Swift DNA is clearly carried over, the new Sport offers even more: more power, more performance, more handling, more economy and more safety.
The upgraded 1.6-litre engine delivers 100 kW, making this the most powerful Swift ever made, while a 30 kilogram weight reduction delivers a significant reduction in fuel economy.
Swift Sport now comes standard with an all-new six-speed manual transmission, and for the first time will be offered with an optional seven-speed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to further increase appeal and sales potential.
