Suzuki Swift Sport ZC33S Final Edition at Tokyo Auto Salon – limited production; styling tweaks; fr RM67k

Here’s a gallery of the new Suzuki Swift Sport ZC33S Final Edition on display at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon. Set to go on sale in Japan on March 19, production of the swansong model will be limited from March to November this year.

Mechanically, the ZC33S Final Edition doesn’t differ from a standard Swift Sport based on the third-generation model, with a K14C 1.4 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine delivering 140 PS (138 hp or 103 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm of torque from 2,500 to 3,500 rpm to the front wheels. Buyers will have two transmission options, including a six-speed manual that retails for 2,329,800 yen (about RM67k), while the six-speed automatic is a little bit more at 2,401,300 yen (RM69k).

In terms of styling changes, there is a gloss black front grille and fog lamp bezels, with the 17-inch wheels (paired with 195/45 profile tyres) also receiving the same colour treatment. Elsewhere, you’ll find red brake calipers, ‘ZC33S’ decals on the C-pillars as well as a red/black emblem on the tailgate.

Inside, the unique trim on the dashboard, door cards and centre console feature a “heat gradation” effect, with some of these pieces sporting ‘Sport’ lettering or ‘ZC33S powered by Suzuki’ wordings on them. Gloss silver steering wheel garnish completes the look.

While this serves as a farewell for the current Swift Sport, rumours suggest Suzuki is working on a new version of the hot hatchback based on the newer, fourth-generation model, although this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
