Suzuki plans new Swift

29 December 2003: A new Suzuki Swift will be rolled out in 2005, based on the Concept S2 shown at the recent Tokyo Motor Show.

The new car will be built at Suzuki's Hungarian plant and will be powered in most markets by a 1.6-litre petrol engine, raising the model's previous positioning.

The S2 showed that the BMW Mini is the target car, and the new Swift is some 75mm longer than the German manufacturer's iconic revival.
