Following the first (and so far only) official photo of the all-new Suzuki Swift Sport, more details have leaked online courtesy of a brochure sourced by Twitter user @Kaz3647M3. Here, the solitary front three-quarters image of the new Swift Sport is reflected by the exterior shots of the car in the brochure, along with details of the hitherto unseen rear half of the car.
A pair of Swift Sport-distinguishing exhaust outlets feature along the new car’s rear bumper, which appears to adopt elements evolved from the outgoing Swift Sport, such as the black lower section and centrally-mounted rear fog lamp, all housed in a darker, contrasting lower section.
The leaked brochure also affords a glimpse into the new performance-biased hatchback’s interior, which can be seen to feature flashes of red highlights to denote this Sport version; these are applied to a strip across almost the whole width of the dashboard, on trim surrounds ahead of the gear lever, also featuring heavily in the tachometer and as a more subtle ring around the neighbouring speedometer.
A flat-bottomed, multifunction steering wheel greets the driver with a somewhat VW/Audi design, while the front seats appear to integrate the headrests into the seat backs. Back to the exterior, the new Swift Sport will be available in six paint colours – yellow (which continues to be the hero hue), red, blue, white, grey, and black, at least where the Japanese market is concerned.
The website quotes Japanese sources as saying the Suzuki Swift Sport will boast of a 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 150 PS at 5,500 rpm and 245 Nm of torque from 1,500-4,000 rpm, expected to pair with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
The outgoing model’s naturally aspirated, 1.6 litre mill cranks out 136 PS at 6,900 rpm and 160 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Considering the new car’s expected weight of 870 kg, around 200 kg less than the outgoing model, significant performance gains can be expected of the new car.

This could have been Proton Swift. But Proton threw Suzuki into the tong sampah when they saw China girl Geely.
Suzuki really wanted to have a long term relationship with Proton and allow Proton to rebadge all their cars. But Proton, typical Malaysian mentality, wanted quick profits. Overnight profits. They hardly gave time to Ertiga to even move.
Sad that Suzuki and Proton now cerai. Soon, Geely also will cerai
With DRB holding 51%, the Swift can be rebadged Proton Satria Sport.
Proton Swift – Yes, Proton Ertiga – No.
Same old copy paste, then dislike people’s comment again n again. The only change : name.
TRK aka john, pls keep this blog clean.
Betui. Make love, not war.
PT, pls implement IP filter to limit dupe creation, tenkiu.
hmmm… I wonder since Proton has tied up with Geely… are we gonna see Suzuki back in M’sia..? Used to be DRB holding rights to assemble and distribute Suzuki… with good demand for the Swift will there be any new takers… a new player perhaps..?
If proton can rebadge this swift wif turbo engine, for sure will sell like hot pao kacang.
Shouldn’t the 1.4 turbo be pushing out over 200Nm of torque?
“Suzuki Swift Sport will boast of a 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 150 PS at 5,500 rpm and 245 Nm of torque from 1,500-4,000 rpm”
The article was corrected after I posted the comment. Previously, they reported “145Nm”. Slowpokes.
Is this 1.4 turbocharged engine same found in vitara S? Tat can easily go up to 180kmh?
proton (geely) bring this in to replace Iriz. then we have a new national best seller.
Swift sport is quite hardcore as passenger car and only appeals to niche market. It oso much more exp compared to bog standard swift. So how can SS replace Iriz?
Yeah same with 1.4 tsi
Guys, am I the only one that can see that this fella (870 kg) is lighter than the MX-5 (1058 kg) with only less 7 ps (150 ps vs 157 ps) with way more torque (245Nm vs 201Nm)?
Back door handle at the top… looks like a trend nowadays.
FWD vs RWD. RWD winrars!
Central aircon & hazard switch looks like sleeping owl.
For comparison… Myvi 1.5 Special Edition Auto is
980 kg with 104 ps and 136 Nm.
gonna dump my Satria R3 if this Suzuki swift lands on our shore….This Swift looks delicious in spec and performance!!!
sadly we cant buy a suzuki in malaysia anymore
Who says. Ertiga kan ada..
ER-3 = Emergency Room x 3. That is why Tak Laras bro. Tanya P1 berapa dah jual??
Er3? Selling according to their projected volume, so dun see any problems there. Its not aimed as a volume seller unlike Saga3, Persona2, Exora.
so nice but no more here…
monster kei car
Deliberately made as Dead Donkey brand. No fun in discussing here. Read the article and pass it on.
