New Suzuki Swift Sport gets 135HP

This is the first picture of the all-new Suzuki Swift Sport. The model, which will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, practically bears no differences to the S-Concept that was presented in Geneva last March.

Under the hood of the Swift Sport is a specially-developed for this model 1.6-liter M16A with 135HP at 6,900 rpm and 160 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. A new six-speed manual gearbox transmits power to the front wheels.

Suzuki claims that the new model is both more refined and more responsive than the one it replaces thanks to changes in the front and the redesigned rear suspension. The Sport looks much more aggressive than the normal versions of the Swift thanks to the large front grille and the sporty bodywork. The company hasn’t yet released any photos of the interior, but that of the S-Concept was virtually production-ready. Expect the specification to include Recaro sports seats, a sport steering wheel, seven airbags and ESP as standard.
