This is the new Suzuki Swift 2011. Yes, it is. This is the what Suzuki create after 6 years since the last Swift was launched back in 2004. To many people, on the first glance, this could be just the same or it’s just a facelift. Even i had to play the spot the difference game when i see these photo.
[singlepic id=2538 w=630 h= float=center]The above Photo is the all new Suzuki Swift 2011, the below picture is the current Suzuki Swift. Take a moment to see the difference. The headlights shapes are slight sharper, a slight wider and deeper grille and the lower bumper has lines running from the the edge of the headlights ending with some minor changes one the foglights area too.
[singlepic id=2541 w=630 h= float=center]Underneath the similar all-new Suzuki Swift body to the old one, there’s a new platform which is wider on it’s wheel base by 50mm and the car’s length is increased by 90mm. Overall, the new Suzuki swift it’s 5mm wider and higher by 10mm which comes with a wider front of 10mm and rear track of 5mm.

The interior wise is not preview as official yet but however, we manage to find a spy shot which is taken earlier this year. Looking at this view the new Suzuki Swift looks a bit slight more spacious and the panel design are greatly inspired by Suzuki Kizashi’s interior.
Besides that, it is reported that the new Swift will have new petrol engine and a improved diesel engine. There will be a 1.2 litre engine with Dual VVT which will replace the current outgoing 1.3 liter engine. The 1.2L DVVT engine procudes 94hp ( slightly more than the current one). Fuel consumption of this new engine is also improved. While the Diesel engine remains at 1.3L and will procudes 75hp with much better emission and fuel consumption. No news on the 1.5 liter yet, but if releases 1.5L with DVVT, that will be quite interesting.
[singlepic id=2542 w=630 h= float=center]There will be a 3-door form and 5-door form of Suzuki Swift 2011. Both automatic and manual transmission are available. Suzuki Swift Sport 2011 is also in works. Attached above is the current sports model of Suzuki Swift Sport. We will get more details soon when Suzuki releases it, hopefully the all-new Suzuki Swift 2011 it’s one of those “more than meets the eye”.
