Things
are getting better this year with the arrival of the new Swift Sport: 17-inch
wheels mounted in 195/45, flared fenders, windshield amounts of black,
aerodynamic spoiler, side skirts and a rear bumper that incorporates a exhaust
pipes on each side of a honeycomb mesh are scheduled. As for finishes, they are
impeccable and the style that is both aggressive and seductive. Moreover,
certain features are unmistakable: the grille and the central air intake shield
appears linked together like a mouth ready to swallow the bitumen. The fog
lights are integrated into large housing honeycomb barrier side of the spoiler.
Some
argue that this lack of originality Swift Sport, but the main charm is that the
act. Thus equipped, the Swift seems sur-vitamin, it must look to the premium
brands to find a look as nice. The most demanding can also use the list of
accessories to equip their Swift kit even more sporty: stickers, checkerboards
and custom body parts, each for their money.
Suzuki
Swift CarA redesigned Swift was announced at the Paris Auto Salon in September
2004. This Swift is intended to compete in the European B segment with the
likes of Peugeot 206, Opel Corsa and the Fiat Punto. Available with 1.3 and 1.5
L engines, the new Swift is Suzuki's new "global car", to be produced
in Hungary, India, Japan and by Chang'an in China. 3- and 5-door bodies are
available.
The
the new model is the first of its kind during which a Suzuki employed Indian
engineers to design a car that would compete in the global market. The design
of the new Swift was previewed on the Concept S and Concept S2 concept cars at
auto shows, in the years leading up to its launch. It's proportions &
essential shape are unmistakely like the BMW MINI, due to the blacked-out
A-pillars and bumper-car stance. The exterior shape is described by some as
"1.5 box".
Suzuki
Swift CarDespite Suzuki's long-standing relationship with General Motors (which
itself had prompted the development of the very first Swift), the new Swift is
entirely Suzuki, and not based on the GM Gamma platform. The prestigious
British Autocar magazine gave the new Swift a favourable 4/5 stars in road
test, badging it a "thoroughly impressive all-rounder". Mk4 Swift has
received a 4 stars out of 5 rating in the EURO NCAP crash tests.
Since
its global launch in 2005, Mkq4 Swift recorded above forecast sales. In Japan,
sales figure doubled forecast. Mk4 Swift enjoyed healthy sales in India where a
substantial percentage of the car is built with locally made components. Rapid
sales of the new Swift model contributed to the 64% rise in Q1 profits for the
Maruti corporation. Waiting period in India for the car is at least 3 months.
