Global perspectives, focusing on Europe

Suzuki Swift was the first product of Suzuki program in radical innovation to strengthen its position both as the first compact car maker and motorcycle brands in the foreground. It introduces new ideas and thoughts that will define the design of many other new models from Suzuki in the coming years.

Suzuki Swift is a global vision and production - is built in Japan, Hungary, China and India - but its development has focused on the strict requirements and preferences of the European market in terms of design and driving characteristics. In fact, the first step of the design team was to create a base in Europe, where he was able to obtain valuable information on the European way of thinking and inspiration for the environment. And a lot of chassis development and improvement based on real-world information acquired by the wide road and track testing across the continent.

The result is an innovative design, sporty and elegant, with true international appeal. As a new departure in Suzuki design, develop themes Swift style first seen in the Concept S and Concept-car exhibition S2, and shows the willingness of the company to develop original interpretations of well-established market segments .

Designers deliberately avoided the tendency to "a box of conformity, but to produce content through the design of the hood. Muscular, flared wheel arches, bold sills and wheels pushed out to every corner, and the panel with broad shoulders, which will always express their car's rear lights and the inherent stability of dynamic change.

The strong curvature of the nose and the openings of the large square cut, and deep spoiler with grille to add further distinction. The black and AB-pillars create a greenhouse effect and the wraparound headlights sweep back home in the wings to mirror the shape of the taillight.

MacPherson strut front suspension matched by a torsion beam and springs in the rear. The low unsprung weight arrangement torsion beam allows effective control of camber angle and toe to deliver accurate and predictable handling, any development of space-efficient plays a crucial role in achieving a low, flat boot floor.

To complete the driving experience, Suzuki Swift, the benefits of a steering rack that gives direct and precise meaning and a braking system with rigid forceps, especially to improve braking performance.

Despite the Suzuki Swift 1690 mm wide, it is still very manageable statements about the city. Turning radius is a compact 9.4 million.
