The sporty little Suzuki Swift Sport is one of the few compact models with sporty dynamic behavior that is still affordable. Suzuki launches a new and special version, the Suzuki Swift Sport 20th Anniversary.
It is a limited series of only 35 units designed to celebrate the 20 years of Suzuki Motor Ibérica, importer of the brand for Spain, Portugal and Andorra. It has a unique look and retains the microhybrid mechanics and its ECO label.
The Suzuki Swift Sport is a story that began in 2007. And it was an immediate success, it had all the ingredients of a good GTI. Its 125 CV engine only asked for higher revs, its exquisitely tuned chassis and an interesting weight/power ratio (8.2 kg/CV), its affordable price did the rest.
Since then, the Swift Sport, supported by a mono-make cup in rallies, has been a special model for the brand and its importer. It is not surprising, therefore, that it was the model destined to celebrate the anniversary.
This new Suzuki Swift Sport limited to 35 numbered unitsall of them have two commemorative plaques with their serial number, located on the dashboard and on the inside frame of the driver’s door, they have a price of 27,445 euros.
A more colorful suit, but with the same mechanics
Its appearance is characterized by a two-tone body color that combines metallic silver with pearl black (roof) and with details in red, which can be seen in the front air intake, mirrors, brake calipers and on the 17 inch wheels (with Swift Sport logo). In addition, a black stripe with the word ‘Sport’ runs along the entire side that combines with the exclusively designed ’20 Aniversario’ logo on the rear and the tinted rear windows.
Suzuki also bets everything on red and black on board. The predominantly black interior is brought to life by red accents (rev counter with red background, inserts on the dashboard and center console, as well as contrasting stitching on the leather steering wheel). Sport seats include Sport logo embroidery and red trim.
On a mechanical level, there are no changes compared to the usual version of the Swift Sport. It equips a 4-cylinder 1.4 liter microhybrid Composed of an integrated motor/generator that punctually provides 10 kW (13.6 CV) and 53 Nm. In total, it develops 129 CV and delivers 235 Nm. It is associated with a six-speed manual gearbox that transmits all the power to the front axle. And of course, you win eco label.
Although the Swift Sport does not offer features that can rival a Hyundai i20 N, for example, it makes up for it with its excellent dynamic behavior, because sometimes how you take corners counts more than at what speed. Even so, it signs the 210 km/h maximum speed and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.1 seconds.
The Suzuki Swift Sport 20th Anniversary is now on sale for 27,445 eurosa price just above the price list of a “normal” Swift Sport, from 27,408 euros.
