Spy Shots: 2011 Suzuki Swift
Suzuki made a big splash with the debut of its all-new Kizashi mid-size sedan last week, but the automaker is far from finished with its North American offerings.
Witness the new Suzuki Swift, still hidden from prying eyes, but with a completed nose poking through for us to ponder. Suzuki maintains that the diminutive seen here Swift will be headed to the U.S. sometime next year, and may just challenge Mini for the cutest ride on the block when it arrives.
Diesel and Hybrid versions of the car are likely to be on offer in Europe during the car’s life cycle, and we’d guess that U.S. customers might very well have the option to buy the pocket-rocket Swift Sport. The standard car will be a front-driver, though there some credence to the rumor that an all-wheel drive version may be in the works, too. All-wheel capability would certainly fit with Suzuki’s go-anywhere image.

Suzuki is working on the next generation Swift, and today we can show you the most revealing photos of it. Earlier photos showed the fully clad, but this time we got the Swift with the nose clear. And with the new mid-size sedan Kizashi officially revealed now, we can see that the Swift will have lines from that new family face.
There will be a range of both petrol and diesel engines, and it’s likely that a hybrid version will follow. The Swift Sport will be the top of the line model, and hopefully it will have the same amount of Fun-factor as the current version. Front-wheel drive will be standard, but there are some rumors that they might be an all-wheel-drive version available.
And what’s more important for the US market is that Suzuki has announced that they will bring back the Swift to the US in 2010. Gene Brown, marketing director of American Suzuki Motor Corp said “The Swift is known as a pocket rocket internationally, and that is the type of product we want here.
