The new generation Suzuki Swift Sport is all set for its public debut at Frankfurt next week, but the latest set of leaks have left little to imagination on the sporty hatchback. Leaked brochures of the new Swift Sport from Japan have made its way online revealing the complete specifications, prices and even the accessories list on the upcoming model ahead of its reveal on September 12. The new Sport version shares its underpinnings with the new generation version of the Swift but draws power from more powerful engine options. Prices for the Swift Sport will be in the vicinity of 18,36,000-20,50,920 Yen (around Rs. 10.60-11.90 lakh) when it goes on sale in Japan.

The 2018 Suzuki Swift Sport was revealed earlier this year and gets subtle but effective upgrades over the standard model. The sporty version gets a more aggressive body kit, 17-inch gloss black alloy wheels, dual exhausts and much more. The cabin on the hatchback comes with steel finished pedals, leather wrapped steering wheel, black upholstery with contrast red stitching, as well as red coloured panels to add that sporty effect.
Meanwhile, the accessories list on the 2018 Suzuki Swift Sport comprise body decals, floor mats, different alloy wheels and much more. It is said that the model will come with at least 86 different accessory options. Much like the current generation version, the new generation Suzuki Swift Sport will not be available in India. Sales in Japan though, are expected to commence by the end of this month.
That said, should India get a sportier version of the new Swift when it arrives in the country next year? A Maruti Suzuki Swift RS perhaps? Let us know what you think about it.
