the suzuki swift sport
for drivers who remember stuff way back
into the 1980s
began life as the swiftkey way back in
1986.
it had a 1.3 liter dog 16 valve engine
with 97 horsepower and was a right hoot
to drive the second generation
swift t arrived in 1989 and this was the
car that really grew suzuki's reputation
beyond that of just a maker of
economical compact cars
on the roads as more car enthusiasts
came to discover
the car's incredibly dynamic nature
the swift sport nameplate however traces
its routes to the car
that was launched in late 2006.
codenamed the zc31s many can still be
seen
on our roads today a testament to how
durable
and popular the sporty little compact
hatchback really is
at this point rivet counting car
enthusiasts
and suzuki swift fans may be thinking
wasn't the current generation swift
sport launched in 2017
yes it was actually car buyers inchel
report on the car was six years ago the
japanese market-only swift sport
has a 1.4 liter turbo engine with 140
horsepower
and a few have made their way via
parallel import channels
as the swift sport now officially
getting is technically a better
and more affordable deal for the market
designed to meet euro 60 emissions
and primarily for sale in europe the
k-14c
engine from the japanese swift sport has
been detuned slightly
and is now the k-14d however
to make up for the slight power loss
there's a 48-volt mile hybrid drive
system
glued to the drivetrain that gives the
engine an additional boost during
acceleration
without the extra fuel consumption of a
high boost turbocharger
the result is a sporty compact made in
japan hatchback
that sits in a vesa 2 rating which gives
the car a substantial 15 000 singapore
dollars rebate
already figured into the sale price
compact hatchbacks
were once the default car of choice for
many drivers here
but rising co prices and better designed
small crossover suvs
have forced a change in the automotive
scenery here
