Suzuki Swift Sport – Design

Foursquare and punchy, if not bristling with aggression. Visual bark to match its dynamic bite

Evo rating
  • Composed chassis, decent refinement, lots of kit
  • Lacks adjustability, old-school Swift Sport character dulled

The front bumper and grille, side skirts and rear diffuser with dual exit exhausts add just enough sporting intent, while the 17-inch alloys help deliver a more muscular stance. While looks are subjective, it’s four-square stance gives the Sport Hybrid a small dose of personality to lift it from the regular models.

If you want to attract even more attention, the Championship Yellow paint job should do the trick – although its inclusion on the palette was a little odd considering Suzuki’s last title success at the time was the Junior World Rally Championship way back in 2010.
