Japan’s most trusted automotive portal Best Car has reported that the next generation Suzuki Swift will be unveiled in July 2022. The new model will be built from ground up & won’t just be a facelift according to the report.
The upcoming 5th gen Swift will either sit on an all new lightweight platform with improved structural rigidity compared to the current model, or will utilize a significantly revised version of the current Swift’s already lightweight platform.
The Japanese outlet claims the new model’s exterior design will represent an evolutionary step over its predecessor, with sharper lines and more angular styling– an imaginary rendering was also shared on its page. As for interior we can expect a more advanced cabin with features such as a larger infotainment screen and a digital instrument cluster.
