Suzuki
is a big brand and has been selling its cars in major countries for a
decades now. A while back the global major unveiled a sports model of
the much successful 2011 Maruti Swift
which was acclaimed by many. Now Suzuki Australia has launched a
five-door version of the same in Japan and Australia. As being reported
the car offers more power, more torque, improved driving dynamics,
better fuel efficiency and enhanced safety. More than the technical
changes, the visual changes brought also add to the appeal of the car.

Suzuki Swift Sport Prices
The Swift Sport is priced at $ 23,990(Rs. 12.62 lakhs) for the manual
variant and $25,990(Rs. 13.66 lakhs) for the CVT version. There are no
signs of Maruti Suzuki
launching anything close to Swift Sport in India in near future. Swift
Sport is more of an aspirational vehicle which does not see any
considerable market in India, so the same has been kept away from the
Indian shores. Also at present, there is too much pressure on Maruti
Suzuki for the production of Maruti Swift 2011 as there are many pending deliveries of the cars for the customers who have been bearing long waiting period.
