Design
The new Suzuki Swift has some of the same happy and jolly aesthetic characteristics as its predecessors, so it’s recognisably a Swift. Its hidden rear-door handle does a good job of trying to make it look like a three-door hatch, too, but in profile the slightly-too-long passenger compartment and wheelbase betray its more practical side.
The Swift Sport is significantly different. There’s a bespoke front end with a far bigger grille, a new rear bumper to make room for the twin exhaust pipes, and bigger diamond-cut alloys. The new bodywork makes it look far more aggressive, but the wider and more prominent bumpers do give the impression that the track and wheelbase is a little too small for the body.
