Five-door Swift Sport and all-wheel drive among the additions to Suzuki's supermini range
A facelifted version of the Suzuki Swift has been given an accidental early debut from by the firm’s Belgian operation. It reveals a subtly revised look for the firm’s staple supermini, the refreshed version of which is due to reach the UK later this summer.
Visual differences externally are minor, the most noticeable being the LED lights at the front. The external refresh also includes new wheel and colour choices. There are a few visual tweaks inside too, but the biggest change is set to be the addition of sat-nav to top-spec models.
The standard engine range of the Swift – a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.3-litre diesel – is set to carryover unchanged. But the 1.6-litre petrol-powered Swift Sport’s range will expand with the addition of a new five-door model to compliment the existing three-door.
The other big change for the Swift will be the option of all-wheel drive. Two versions will be offered: one that looks identical to a normal Swift save for a 20mm higher ride height, and another that gets body cladding to visually distinguish it from the standard version.
