Suzuki set to launch new Swift Sport

Handling is back on the agenda as excitement builds around the imminent launch of Suzuki’s flagship Swift Sport.

Embodying Suzuki’s sporty DNA and offering an uncompromised driving experience, the Swift Sport is the ultimate machine for drivers who love cars, handling and having fun when they drive.

“The new Swift Sport carries forward and evolves the great qualities of the great handling Swift series,” said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers.

“The Swift Sport is the sporty flagship of the Swift series and handling has been heightened as well as all other driving attributes. And there have been no compromises in Suzuki’s pursuit of higher levels of refinement and environmental performance.”

Devers promised the new Swift Sport would surpass its predecessor in terms of handling. “Greater controllability and stability mean the new car can respond more precisely to driver inputs in all conditions.”

He said the car was based on the concept of achieving better driving and environmental performance than the previous model.”

Devers said the launch would be a highlight in the motoring calendar, with a fully loaded campaign based around the handling of the new Swift Sport.

“One of the highlights of the launch will be a hot lap competition involving celebrities and Suzuki customers from around the country.

“The new Swift Sport is even more of a pleasure to drive, use and own and, as the sporty flagship of the series it’s ready to deliver uncompromised enjoyment and an exciting launch program will confirm it as the next generation of hot hatch.

“This car is the epitome of Suzuki’s philosophy that buying a light car does not mean having to settle for less.”

Devers said the new Swift Sport will be in showrooms by March, when pricing will be announced.
