All New 2017 Suzuki Swift Hatch Coming Soon

The new generation of Suzuki’s biggest-selling model is almost here and from what we have seen it has evolved into a more mature hatch, though still maintaining its origins of the ‘cute’ iconic design from the past.

The small hatch has been a popular city car for many years and has sold more than 5.3 million cars worldwide since its rebirth in 2004. This new model is the third-generation badge.

Built on an all-new, more rigid, lighter platform, the hatch sits slightly smaller when compared to today’s Swift, although the wheelbase is providing an improved rear legroom and an increased luggage area.

Worth noting is the tiny turning circle of 9.6 metres, perfect for tight inner city parking.

There will be all new engines, ranging from 1.0-litre turbo-petrol ‘BoosterJet’ engine producing 75kw, 1.4-litre turbo producing about 103kW, and in Japan a petrol-electric mild hybrid.
