No, this is not another one of our Swift Outback April Fools hoax, though as it turns out there’s a lot we got right in that harmless jest. There’s now a real Suzuki Swift 4×4, recently added to the revamped UK lineup together with the facelifted Swift range.
Just like that fantasy pick-up of ours, the Swift 4×4 gets a raised ride height (up 25 mm), front and rear faux-skid plates and all-round black wheelarch extensions. Otherwise it looks the same as the updated third-gen Swift, L-shaped LED DRLs intact.
There’s a fully automatic and permanent four-wheel drive system matched to the 1.2 litre petrol engine and manual ‘box. A viscous coupling can now transfer some torque to the rear wheels for added traction on slippery surfaces. The Swift 4×4 weighs 65 kg more than an equivalent 2WD model, and emissions are only 10 g/km higher at 126 g/km.
So there you have it – a compact city/jungle dweller. With the Jimny mini 4×4 already on the way to Malaysia, do you think there’s a market for this new Swift 4×4 over here?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks like a Mini countryman.
Hmm. Alternative.
Mini Crossover Suzy
idiot’s car
means its suitable for you ?
hahaha good one
I don’t see the market here. If the perodua nautica is still available today, I would take it rather then take the swift 4×4. bring in the jimny faster, bring the pick up version also. Defeat the purpose of buying a 4×4. No snow here either.
Great all-rounded car, something that ive been looking all this while.. Sleek compact eco city car looks with the GO ANYWHERE ability. Best of both worlds
Cant really go into jungle with its small wheel size
I rather drive a Kancil off road.
this can be a jimmy city version…
