New Suzuki Swift spy photos

By Alborz Fallah |

With the current Swift starting to show its age, Japanese giant Suzuki is hard at work on the next generation Swift. This morning we received the first photos of the next generation 3-door undergoing cold weather testing.

Although nothing is confirmed yet, the new Suzuki Swift will have a range of both petrol and diesel engines (internationally) with the possibility of a hybrid variant coming as well.

The Swift Sport will continue to sit at the top of the range, although some reports suggest that Suzuki may be working an all-wheel-drive version of the little hot hatch as well.

Suzuki Australia will this week re-launch the Liana and an updated SX4 range.

    WHAT! RE-LAUNCH THE LIANA! Where did this come from? One of the most dreadful cars coming back to life! This is too much…

    I wish they would hurry up and reveal the Swift already, I’m sick of seeing it with that bloody cladding on. Hopefully the Sport (the best looking model in the range) gets at least over 100KW this time, the current car cries out for more power.

    Look like a facelift version

    Baddass, its not a re-launch of the liana, just a re-launch of the name,]
    the 2wd sx-4 will be renamed liana, and the awd’s will be sx-4!
    and both are getting new engine, transmissions and interiors, and a facelift!!.

    It will be a progressive change. Why fix what ain’t broken?

    the liana looked ( and drove ) like a half compacted vk commodore. Tall thin gumby unstable looking lump with tiny wheels.

    this is not a good idea mr suzuki!

    Hmm, I wonder if the Swift will get 1.2T engines, DSG, 1.6 diesel engine, and the Swift Sport a 1.4 Twincharged unit………

    But then, VW wouldn’t want to kill the Polo off

    @ t

    You evidently haven’t driven a decent VK Commodore.

    Looking forward to the new Swift Sport though, let’s hope it cracks 100kW. If it does, I’ll seriously consider it as my next city runabout.
