Recently, the first-ever photograph of the upcoming 2017 Suzuki Swift with no camo touched the internet ahead of its expected debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show suggesting an all-new face of the unit. And now, a reports emerges online about the same that claiming the car to get the company’s patent technology, the SHVS mild-hybrid system. Currently, Maruti Ciaz and Ertiga are the units that are enjoying the presence of this hybrid facility.
As the Motor Trend India report suggests, the diesel derivative of the car will have the SHVS tech which will aid in improved fuel economy and performance, while no further details have been added there. The year 2017 will be quite busy for the Maruti Suzuki as the automaker is going to introduce several new products in the Indian auto market. Maruti Ignis, which will spark up the procedure with its arrival on January 16, 2017, followed by Maruti Baleno RS and next-gen Swift itself by the first half of next year.
Talking about the powertrain, the next generation Suzuki Swift is expected to be powered by the same engine range that is currently doing their duty in run-of-the units. This range includes a 1.2-litre K series petrol engine generating 84 Bhp of power with 114 Nm and 1.3 L DDiS engine producing 74 Bhp of power with 190 Nm of torque. Apart from these, it could also come up with a new 1.5-litre diesel motor engineered in-house by Maruti and a 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol engine, which is slated to be available under the hood of forthcoming Baleno RS as well.
A high-performance Suzuki Swift Sports model, which is also under development, could celebrate its global debut late 2017. It is likely to sport an updated version of the 1.4-litre turbocharged gasoline engine, generating 140 hp of power and currently underpinning the Vitara for global markets. The India-bound 2017 Maruti Swift is expecting to make its debut here in the country sometime during the middle of 2017.
