Suzuki: Small and hip
GENERATION SEVEN With a clear design, many safety features and agile handling, the new edition of the Suzuki Swift is based on the consistent further development of the compact car concept that has proven itself for more than 40 years.
The Suzuki Swift enjoys great popularity worldwide. The small hatchback has already sold more than nine million units. Now the seventh generation is being launched - with a new design, new 12-volt mild hybrid drive and additional assistance and safety systems. The radiator grille with a piano lacquer finish is just as eye-catching as the L-shaped daytime running lights in the LED headlights.
The side view of the Swift impresses with a striking shoulder line and muscular contours. The trapezoidal rear end with three-dimensional tail lights and a wide bumper give the car a dynamic appearance. Customers can choose from nine 1-color and four 2-color paint finishes.
Assistance and safety systems
In the cockpit, all controls are arranged around the driver so that they are within easy reach. The two-tone dashboard in black and light gray extends into the doors, creating visual width and a dynamic look.
Radar and camera detect other vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the vehicle, thus preventing collisions. If the driver brakes with insufficient force, the brake assistant increases the deceleration. In extreme cases, the system can initiate emergency braking to reduce impact forces and limit the consequences of an accident. Other systems include lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and the eCall emergency call system.
New 12-volt mild hybrid system
The new 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine has a maximum output of 82 hp. The high thermal efficiency of up to 40 percent and the low vehicle weight of around 950 kilograms (2WD) or around 1000 kilograms (4WD) ensure low fuel consumption. The engine is supported by a 12-volt mild hybrid system with integrated starter-generator (ISG). Power is transmitted either via a 5-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable automatic transmission. The optional Allgrip Auto all-wheel drive system engages automatically via a viscous coupling if a loss of traction is detected on the front axle. The new Swift is available immediately from CHF 19,990.
