SUZUKI SWIFT SPORTY NEW 2012

he Suzuki Swift Sport is the performance flagship of the Swift mannequin range and presents greater levels of tuning, steering and braking efficiency than the standard Swift on which it is based. The earlier mannequin first went into production in Japan in 2005 and in Hungary in 2006. The sporting experience and on a regular basis practicality have earned many devoted fans in approximately 40 nations and territories across the world.

The brand new Swift Sport has the same DNA as its predecessor, however reflects the concept of growing a refined sport compact from the new Swift that Suzuki launched in the UK in Autumn 2010. Befitting its standing as the new performance flagship of the Swift mannequin vary, it displays the pursuit of even better dealing with, driving performance, environmental compatibility and an uncompromising focus on quality. Overall, it offers a rewarding expertise of Suzuki's sporting DNA.

Suzuki plans to launch the new Swift Sport in a growing variety of countries, beginning October 2011, with gross sales launch within the UK from early 2012.

Exterior

The brand new Suzuki Swift Sport's exterior design displays the model's evolution in the direction of a more sporting look. The ground-hugging form offers a sense of stability, the large entrance grille hints on the performance inside and is flanked by big, distinctive finned fog lamp bezels that add even more sporting character.

Aerodynamic elements exclusive to the brand new Suzuki Swift Sport control the airflow, suppress lift and provides the car a lower visual centre of gravity. Newly developed high-intensity discharge headlamps with a metallic-grey coating in addition to new design rear combination lamps heighten the sense of dynamism expressed by the exterior design.Sporty, exclusive design options in the new Swift Sport's cabin heighten the driving pleasure and a high-high quality feel and look generates pleasure of possession with new design sport seats in an exclusive cloth along with a five-dial meter cluster that mixes simple legibility with an uncluttered look.

Dimensions

The new Suzuki Swift Sport's robust presence belies compact dimensions that make it exceptionally nimble. Vast treads and a short wheelbase (key characteristics of the Swift series) combine with chassis systems that embrace an solely designed rear suspension to make sure brisk handling and excellent excessive-speed stability. The new Swift Sport has an total size of 3,890mm, an total width of 1,695mm, an overall peak of 1,510mm, and a wheelbase of two,430mm.

Dealing with

Since the new Suzuki Swift Sport is the efficiency flagship of the Swift series, Suzuki pursued increased levels of chassis performance, reaching an distinctive stability of controllability and stability.

Higher toe and camber rigidity for the torsion beam, better lateral rigidity within the torsion-beam bushings, and bigger rear wheel bearings enhance stability at the rear below hard cornering. Increased spring charges for the front and rear coil springs and added rebound springs within the front struts considerably contribute to stability by offering larger roll stiffness. Modifications to the steering-gearbox member, suspension-body member in addition to bigger front wheel bearings all increase yaw response, leading to dealing with that has evolved even farther from that of the earlier Swift Sport.

Engine

The new Suzuki Swift Sport's M16A engine relies on that of the previous model. Due to the addition of a variable intake system, optimisation of the consumption VVT and elevated valve carry, maximum output is up from 92kW in the previous Swift Sport to a powerful 100kW with the brand new model. Most torque is up from 148Nm to 160Nm. As a result, the motive force can get pleasure from superb performance across the rev range. The engine's excessive output is mixed with improved fuel economy; CO2 emissions are down around 11 per cent from 165g/km to 147g/km and a revised exhaust system yields a sportier note.

Transmission

The new Suzuki Swift Sport's guide transmission was developed particularly to take full benefit of the M16A engine's performance. The usage of six gears (up from 5 within the previous Swift Sport) permits sporty driving combined with gas economy. A triple-cone synchromesh for first and second gears permits lower shift effort and a larger counterweight on the transmission finish of the shift lever yields a sporty shift motion that's now lighter and extra positive.

Wheels and tyres

Exclusive 17-inch aluminium-alloy wheels are normal on the brand new Swift Sport. They have a sharp, beautiful design and are produced in such a manner that they're each about 1kg lighter than these of the earlier Swift Sport. The tyre sizes are 195/45R17 and have been developed particularly for the new Suzuki Swift Sport.

Safety

The brand new Suzuki Swift Sport represents an evolution by way of safety. Comprehensive safety applied sciences imply it offers the identical management and peace of thoughts as the brand new Swift, which earned a 5-star ranking within the European New Automobile Assessment Programme.

Extensive use of high-tensile metal and computerised structural analysis preserve the physique mild while selling safety, There are seven airbags (together with curtain airbags and a driver's knee airbag), and the pillars incorporate shock-absorbing materials that soften any contact with occupants' heads.

Suzuki took a multifaceted method to achieve greater ranges of energetic safety. Because of this, ESP® and an antilock braking system with electronic braking-pressure distribution are commonplace tools
