Global perspectives, focusing on Europe

Suzuki Swift was the first product of Suzuki's radical innovation program to strengthen its position as a market leader in compact cars and one of the brands in the world's first motorcycle. It introduced new ideas and design thinking that define the new models much more than Suzuki in the coming years.

Suzuki Swift is a global outlook and production - it is built in Japan, Hungary, China and India - but the development was focused on the needs and tastes of the European market in terms of design and conduct . In fact, the first stage of team development was to establish a base in Europe, where he was able to get valuable information about the European mentality and learn from the European environment. And much of the chassis development and the improvement was based on intelligence gained through real world road and track extensive testing across the continent.

The result is an innovative, sporty design and elegant with a real international appeal. As new designs early Suzuki, Swift style develops themes first seen in the Concept S and Concept-S2 show cars and displays the willingness of society to develop original interpretations of well-established market segments.

The designers consciously avoided the tendency to "while a" uniform, rather than producing a design of actions with a clear cap. Muscular, flared wheel arches, bold sills, wheels pushed out of every corner, and a waistline broad shoulders that continues all the way for the lights to express the inherent stability of the car and call dynamic.

 

The strong curvature of the nose with a square cut holes in a wide, deep spoiler and mesh grille adds even more distinction. Black and B-pillars to create around the greenhouse, and the housing headlights swept wing mirror the shape of the rear lights.

The characteristic shape of the tailgate combines with the large rear bumper to give a lower body looks solid. At the top of the tailgate, the rear edge of the roof gives the form of a spoiler to improve aerodynamics and burning a 1 kg block of precious metals in the traditional spot.

Easy access

SZ4 models with keyless entry for simple door opening / closing system and engine. With this system, there's no fumbling to set the key in the lock, or press the remote control, you need to do is to be the key in your pocket or purse, and press the black button on handle to open the door. Once inside the car, the ignition barrel can be rotated in a simple way to start and stop the engine. Once parked, press the button on the door handle again and the machine is locked and immobilized.

And to make life even easier, especially when carrying shopping bags or luggage, the rear door has a latch is released electronically only a light touch.

Room to breathe

At 1690 mm, Swift is one of the largest institutions of its kind. This, together with a wheelbase allows a spacious cabin with plenty of room for everyone on board (up to four three-door models, five in the five-door) and a generously sized safe and practical.

 

The design team has wanted to create a stylish and functional furniture, which uses aluminum to reduce stress to increase air low-key sophistication. Tight fit and finish of the cut along with more plastics contribute to the refinement and overall quality.

The front seats offer superior support and maintain, and has a first-class setting, front and back of 240 mm. The adjustment of the driver's seat height and steering column adjustable for tilt are standard features that allows drivers of all sizes to find a comfortable driving position.

Cockpit instrument is relatively low for good forward visibility and reinforce the sense of the cabin opening. A three-gauge instrument cluster has a tachometer with a needle that rests in the 6:00 position, reflecting sports bike convention, and a digital information display that shows time, fuel consumption and temperature outside is mounted centrally on the front edge of the fascia.

The radio / CD player is fully integrated into the dashboard and can be operated either by using the One Touch button on the device or additional controls mounted on the steering wheel three-spoke sport. Large, dial-type controls for heating and ventilation, or SZ3, SZ4, and SZ3 DDiS models, standard air conditioning (and the automatic control of temperature on the SZ4) is located below the audio system.

Storage compartments for cell phones, CDs and other small objects that are located around the cabin, including a compartment in the dashboard, glove box, cup holders front and rear (three total) , a back pocket door pockets - large enough for A4 Road Atlas - and a 'hidden' tray that slides under the front passenger seat.

 

Ashtray takes the form of a cylindrical pot, which slots perfectly into one of the cupholders. Thank you to its shape, it is coupled with another point of convenient storage when not in use by smokers.

Start is at-213 liters (VDA), and the practical course, thanks to the selection available suspension torsion beam. Collapse 60:40 folding rear seat and cargo area has more than doubled and 562 liters. Even the extra storage under the boot floor for added security.

Comprehensive Security

Suzuki Swift is a solid and well equipped with safety devices. Car design is inherently strong - has been awarded four stars for adult occupant protection in Euro NCAP, when launched. And 'the extensive use of high tensile steel and tailored spaces for the strength without the additional weight penalty.

All models include driver and front passenger and side airbags as standard, with curtain airbags full length. They complement the brake and clutch pedals designed to reduce the risk of injury to the leg of the driver in case of impact, front seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters, energy absorbing trim, three anchor points for each seat and child seat ISOFIX attachments ELR in the back seat. Each seat also has a headrest, with the rear designed to minimize obstruction of the driver's rearward visibility.

 

Measures to protect pedestrians have been carefully considered in the design phase and helped win a Suzuki Swift three-star Euro NCAP, a result that is particularly impressive for a compact car. The hood, fenders, wipers and front bumper are designed to be deformable to absorb impact energy gradually, which reduces the risk of injury.

Active safety features that can help the driver avoid an accident in the first set includes ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution [EBD] and a brake assist function, fitted as standard across the range.

Beginning to show

European Programme for the development of the chassis Suzuki has paid dividends to the Suzuki Swift, with a level of management that will appeal to the amateur as is typical B-segment customers, while achieving a sophisticated and comfortable tour. These qualities are delivered through one of the biggest tracks in its class - 1,470 mm 1,480 mm front and back - combined with a 2390 mm wheelbase.

 

The platform, created recently by Suzuki Swift has a front subframe for the steering, suspension arms and lower engine mounting are attached to the rear. The resulting structure produces less noise rigid and strong sense of stability.

Suspension MacPherson at the front is offset by a torsion bar and coil springs at the rear. The low unsprung weight of the torsion bar arrangement that allows effective control of camber and the tip to provide a precise and predictable handling, while its space-efficient layout plays a key role in the realization of a flat low, flat boot.

To complete the driving experience, Suzuki Swift, the benefits of a steering rack that gives meaning and a direct and precise system of particularly rigid brake calipers for improved braking performance.

Despite the Suzuki Swift is 1690 mm Overall width, there is still a very handy statements of the city. The turning radius is a compact 9.4 million.

The intrinsic qualities of sport sedans are evident in the response of the car and a comfortable long distance travel, while Suzuki's extensive experience in 4WD technology offers all-wheel drive is more than sufficient for everyday situations.

 

The gasoline engine 1.6-liter unit functions reviewed by the accelerator cable, variable valve timing and variable intake system for drivability and response. It feeds on 2WD models with manual transmission from zero to 62 mph in 10.7 seconds - 11.5 seconds for the 4x4 model. Combined cycle manual 2WD models return 45.6mpg, an improvement of 10 percent over the previous engine, while the 4x4 is only slightly behind, returning 43.5mpg, a very respectable figure for a petrol 4x4.

Power and torque

The gasoline engine of 1.6 liters has been enhanced to meet Euro 5 emissions standards with a new cylinder head and block with better cooling performance and to improve the control limits "hit" or detonation, the greatest power (120 hp compared to 107P) in the previous engine was carried out by expanding the intake and the elevation of the valve with variable valve timing and use of a variable intake manifold.

 

A variable intake system is similar to that used for the Grand Vitara with a 2.4 liter rotary valve in the intake manifold to change the length of the inlet of the engine speed. The result is greater efficiency at all engine speeds the intake.

The variable intake system adjusts the length inlet in three phases, low, middle and high, reaching the maximum potential of the intake manifold. Optimize the efficiency contribution in this way means that the engine delivers more torque at the right time and then the results in the reduction of emissions at all engine speeds.

The engine also uses an exhaust catalyst with thin walls also help to achieve greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, which is particularly important after a cold start as the exhaust catalyst is capable of operating temperature in less time.

In the Auto-4WD mode under normal driving, there is no transfer of torque to the rear wheels, so the Suzuki SX4 is to work effectively as a front-wheel drive. Once the front wheels slip delivery is detected, torque is automatically split between the rear wheels to provide all-wheel drive and improve vehicle stability.

4WD-Lock mode maintains the full thrust of up to about 40 mph, then automatically switch to 4WD-Auto mode for smooth cruising. Choice of 2 wheel drive (driving the front wheels) optimizes fuel economy.

Chassis

The Suzuki SX4 offers crisp handling, predictable designed to meet European tastes drive. This was achieved by carefully matching the characteristics of the suspension very rigid platform. Adjust extensive chassis has been made in Europe to provide leadership and management performance to meet the preferences of the European market.

The high torsional rigidity and reinforced suspension mounts flexing and let the front MacPherson struts and rear torsion beam suspension to perform to their full potential. Wide 1500 / 1495 mm front and rear (1495 / 1495 mm 4x4 models), and 205/60R16 tires increase driving even more stable.

Security reassuring

Suzuki SX4 inspires confidence and a full range of security features. Active safety features are ABS with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) is standard on all models with rear disc brakes for improved braking performance.

 

Overall, the Suzuki SX4 is an astoundingly crashworthy, who helped get four stars for adult occupants of the Euro NCAP test. Extensive use is made of high quality steel and the right space to get the strength to build a car without the extra weight penalty. Front and rear crush zones to absorb impact energy when the frame structure to drive a lot of impact energy away from the highly reinforced cabin.

The taxi driver has a dominant position to the wheel with a wide field. The front airbags, side and curtain are provided on all models with pre-tensioners and force limiters for front seat belts, seat belts three-point emergency locking retractor is provided on all rear seats and Isofix child seat anchor brackets with top tether.
