Specifications of the 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport leaked in Japan

The record reveals that it sports the K14C 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. Output figures are not mentioned in the document. However, a Japanese report said last month that this BOOSTERJET unit is tuned to deliver 150 PS at 5,500 rpm and 25.0 kgf.m (245.17 Nm) of torque from 1,500-4,000 rpm. As we surmised from examining the interior images, 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic are the transmission choices. There's no 4WD option in the Sport variant.

All of 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport's dimensions are not out yet, but there is a mention of the width in the leaked document. At 1,735 mm, the Sport variant's body is just as wide as the standard variant's. The all-new Swift Sport weighs 970 kg (MT)/990 kg (AT). That puts it is 90 kg (MT)/85 kg (AT) lighter than the outgoing model which tips the scale at 1,060 kg (MT)/1,085 kg (AT), giving it a sensational power to weight ratio. The fuel economy rating of the all-new Swift Sport is 16.4 km/l (MT)/16.2 km/l (AT) in Japanese driving cycle.

LED headlamps, a sporty aero kit, 17-inch black alloy wheels shod with 195/45 R17 tyres, dual exhausts and a tailgate spoiler are among the 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport's exterior highlights. On the inside, it has a genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching, stainless steel pedals, special bucket seats with red stitching and "Sport" branding, red highlights on the door panels, dashboard and centre console and inside the instrument panel.

The leak suggests that the 2017 Suzuki Swift Sport will go on sale in Japan on 20 September 2017. It also gets the same safety kit as in the standard model which includes the advanced Dual Sensor Brake Support (DSBS) collision-mitigating system.
