Suzuki announced some changes regarding little Swift: the 1.3 litre engine (87 bhp and 111 Nm) will be replaced with the new 1.2 L petrol engine, developing 84 bhp and 113 Nm. As India will go for Bharat Stage IV standard as April 2010(equivalent of Euro 4), Suzuki got back to the drawing board and came up with the new hatchback, claiming better refinement and fuel consumption of 17.9 km/l, 2 km/l better than the old 1.3. As a comparison, the M15A 1.5-litre Swift sold in Malaysia has 101 bhp and 133 Nm.
Since its debut back in May 2005, the Japanese mite sold pretty well, despite competitors like Fiat’s 1.3-litre Multijet diesel. The only problem is that buyers are turning to diesel…or to bikes, like in the case of Chinese.
