In 2005, Changan Suzuki launched the "Swift" model in the domestic market, as the name suggests, with its fashionable and beautiful exterior design, as well as the stable three major technologies of the joint venture car company, it once set off a consumption boom at that time. Although the car was discontinued in 2016 and Suzuki Motor was withdrawn from China, this did not delay its active use in the domestic second-hand market, which shows the high market recognition of the Swift in China.
According to foreign media sources, the Suzuki Swift model has previously been unveiled in the European market. Judging from the exterior part first, the visual effect of the new car appears sharper and aggressive. Both sides are equipped with new LED headlights, with a blackened grille design in the middle, which is a bit of a Toyota GR86 flavor, which does look a lot better than the old model.
Looking to the rear of the car, the rounded rear design gives it a more compact look, while the blacked-out roof creates a two-tone bodywork. In terms of body size, the three-dimensional data of the new car are 3860 1695 1500mm, the wheelbase is 2450mm, and the weight of the car is still maintained within 1000kg (950kg). Although the space performance is very average, the good thing is that the lightweight is good, and the handling should be relatively good.
The interior of the car has also undergone a new design, although it is not equipped with a full LCD instrument, but the combination of a floating 9-inch central control screen and a multi-function steering wheel still ensures a certain practicality and convenience. The overall combination of double color scheme not only enhances a certain texture, but also looks full of layering.
In addition, there are some upgrades in terms of configuration. In addition to practical features such as brake hold, the high-spec model also features an electronic parking brake, adaptive cruise control, all-speed follow-up and parking functions. Not only that, but the new Swift is Suzuki's first model to be equipped with a driver monitoring system, which is very friendly for long periods of time at high speeds.
According to foreign media sources, Suzuki Motors has recently been criticized in the European market for delaying decarbonization, but despite the slow development of the brand on the road of new energy transformation, its determination to change can still be seen. Just like the new generation of Swift, the car is only equipped with 1The 0-liter three-cylinder engine is also equipped with a mild hybrid system, with a maximum output of 82kW and a maximum torque of 118NmThe transmission is available with a CVT gearbox and a manual 5-speed gearbox. In addition, a plug-in hybrid version will be available in the future.
As for the price, it is understood that the price of the model in Japan is 1,727,000 yen (about 8 yen for the entry-level version).40,000) to 2,332,000 yen (about 1130,000). Combined with its own product strength, if it enters the country again, it may also be able to achieve certain sales results. However, in the face of the current heyday of BYD Dolphin, Seagull, Wuling Binguo and other models, they are also powerless.
After all, Suzuki has been a representative of affordable and low-cost cars for many years, and in economically underdeveloped market areas, it can quickly occupy market share with ultra-low ** and relatively high cost performance, just like China 20 years ago. However, with the growth of the economy and the continuous improvement of consumption levels, it is estimated that when it returns to the Chinese market, it is estimated that it will be surrounded and suppressed to the point that there is no scum left. The same is true for the Swift, no matter how much it is updated, it is still a model that will remain in the memory.
