Ahead of its launch date on 1st June 2017, Suzuki is pleased to announce the U.K. specification for the third generation Swift lineup, which starts with the SZ3.
Standard equipment for all Swift models in the range is comprehensive and the SZ3 model with a 1.2-litre Dualjet engine and manual transmission includes six airbags, air-conditioning, a leather steering wheel, DAB radio with Bluetooth and four speakers, rear privacy glass, LED daytime running lights, 15-inch wheels, body-coloured door mirrors and front electric windows.
The SZ-T model - available with a 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine and manual transmission - adds a rear view camera, smartphone link display audio, 16-inch alloy wheels and front fog lamps.
The SZ5 adds auto air-conditioning, 16-inch polished alloy wheels, satellite navigation, Advanced Forward Detection System, keyless entry and start, and rear electric windows. The SZ5 is available with a six-speed automatic transmission as an option.
At just 3,840mm long, the new Swift is 10mm shorter than the outgoing model while its wheelbase is 20mm longer, creating more interior room, including 25 percent more luggage capacity at 265 litres, or 54 litres more. It is also 15mm lower and 40mm wider, further accentuating its low and wide stance. Additionally, the European Swift has a wider front and rear track than the Japanese Domestic model.
The new Swift rests on a new generation platform - Heartect - that delivers enhanced fundamental vehicle performance due to its lightweight and rigidity. This new platform is now 30kg lighter than before, which has contributed to the car registering a kerb weight of just 890kg (SZ3 model) - 120kg lighter overall for the whole car.
