Suzuki has pulled the covers off its more 'emotional' next-gen Suzuki Swift supermini; new hatch features curvy styling and mild hybrid tech The all-new Suzuki Swift supermini has been revealed, making its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The five-door only model will be available in the UK in June, and while there are no official details on pricing yet we expect it to start from around £9,000. A new lightweight platform shared with the Baleno means the new Swift weighs from just 890kg, while getting a sportier design and chassis set-up than its more practical sibling. It’s been set-up in Britain to make sure it can cope with our unique roads, and the hidden rear door handles and floating roofline give it a matching youthful look. The European model seen here uses the more rounded grille and bumper design, with previous pictures revealed by the brand showing a sportier-looking Japanese-market model.Inside there’s a 4.2-inch LCD display to display driving information, plus a seven-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system. Suzuki says it can be used while wearing gloves, and features a 3D sat-nav as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.The petrol-only engine line-up includes a 110bhp BoosterJet 1.0-litre 3cyl turbo, and an 89bhp 1.2-litre four. A mild hybrid system is available with the 1.0-litre engine too, which lowers emissions to 97g/km. A four-wheel drive model will be available with the 1.2-litre petrol, and higher-grade models will get safety kit such as adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking and a brake-boosting system for emergencies. The range starts with the SZ3, which uses the 1.2 petrol and features air-conditioning, a leather steering wheel, DAB radio, tinted windows, LED daytime running lights and 15-inch wheels. The SZ-T model uses the 1.0-litre engine and adds a rear-view camera, the seven-inch screen, 16-inch wheels and front fog lamps. SZ5 is the top-spec car and features automatic air-con, sat-nav and keyless go. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "The Kia Seltos Is Yet Another Small Crossover to Fit between the Soul and Sportage" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBVsi9x0C_w -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
