Suzuki Motor Corporation has released preliminary photographs of the all-new Suzuki Swift. The new model will debut at the Paris Motor Show on 23rd September.

Based on the rally-inspired Concept-S shown at the 2002 Paris show, and the open-top Concept-S2 sports car revealed at the 2003 Frankfurt show, the Suzuki Swift 3 and 5-door hatchbacks are Suzuki’s vision of the compact car genre and once again demonstrate the Company’s consistency in delivering distinctive interpretations of established market segments.

Throughout its development, the design and driving characteristics of the new Swift have been firmly focused on the European market, and the totally new chassis has been refined through an extensive programme of road-testing across Europe. The car will also be built in Europe, at the Magyar Suzuki Corporation plant in Hungary.

The new Swift will be available from 2nd quarter 2005 in Europe with a choice of 1.3 litre and 1.5 litre petrol engines, the latter with variable valve timing, plus a 1.3 litre diesel engine. A preliminary specification is provided below (subject to change).

Australian specifications and availability will be announced at a later time.
