2012 New Suzuki Swift S-Concept


At the auto show "Australian International Motor Show 2011" in Melbourne, 1-10 July, featuring the Suzuki Swift S-Concept. This is the New Hatchback Swift Sport 2012 (continuation of the previous four-door model) and will be marketed early next year.

The source of the Suzuki Swift informed that this new generation has the form of a three-door model. This is the most striking difference with the previous Swift Sport launched in February.

In terms of exterior, house fog lamps slimmer with each pull of the same line of bumpers. The shape is more like a cat's eye with a mini grille lamp as the grip. Then, on the back of the front fender there knacks like fins one sheet.

Another difference appears on the side skirts are on the front of the rear wheel there is a vent. Move to the back, above the bumper there is a wind tunnel as the exhaust coming from the side skirts. Then, dual exhaust was designed to blend with the mini diffuser.

Impression sport increasingly thick with stout wings stretched at the top rear. The model, inspired by the Suzuki Swift when participating in the event the junior world rally championship.

The interior also got a touch of sport. Apart from the two front seat-style semi-racing, the operation of a 6-gear acceleration (the previous 5-speed models), but the manual also comes with paddle shift. Thus, as in the F1 operation by pressing the plate located behind the wheel.

Regarding the engine, there is no valid information. However, Suzuki's Concept is more fitting called a Suzuki GTI will be embedded and powerful 1.6-liter engine 134 HP (100 kW), bigger than previous models around 110 HP. Its weight was lighter.

When it comes later, the S-Concept Suzuki will be competing hard with the VW Polo GTI and also of the family Ford Fiesta

2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport Review

April 1, 2010 - Live Floor 2010 New York Auto Show, Suzuki sets out a new sport version of the Suzuki Kizashi 2011. Almost perfect combination of design, performance and value of all do Kizashi robust, and economical car for anyone. And in addition to the sports package, we believe that Dave Arbogast bit 'of style and additional benefits make Kizashi more attractive.


Sport package includes a new front lower lip and extended, chrome surround and honeycomb grille blacked adds. Parties make a similar threshold with extensions and chrome strip show and receives a simple decklid spoiler. Inside, there is a sports steering wheel and contrast stitching throughout the cabin. All of this is the property of the suspension is sure to make Kizashi fun, attractive car.


Unfortunately, we are disappointed that Suzuki has no plans to add a V6 or a hybrid version of the Kizashi platform in the near future. This was a bit 'expected after General Motors and Suzuki separated, and V6 power plant is likely to come from GM. Prices are not announced until Kizashi Sport will go on sale in July.


We have always left impressed by the taut body control and precise handling presented by Suzuki Kizashi mid-size sedan, but a new model - the 2011 Sport Kizashi - promises a driving experience even more.

Although presented as a single model, Kizashi Sport is more along the lines of a set of options available on the upper levels Kizashi two linings. Available in both sedan and GTS SLS, your sports team adds a band slightly revised front strut revised lists, additional chrome, and a rear spoiler. Unique 18-inch wheels are two pounds lighter than before, and engineers Kizashi features a revised suspension tuning, which lowers the ride height by 10 mm.

The suspension changes, it seems, is the measure of the modernization of the mechanical systems for the gifted Kizashi Sport. The power always comes with a 2.4-liter DOHC I-4, which is rated at 185 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission is standard but a continuously variable transmission is optional (and mandatory in all-wheel drive is ordered). Choose CVT reduces engine power to 180 horses.


Inside Kizashi Sport receives some unique features, including revision of the front sport seats with perforated leather on the steering wheel. Buyers must choose the black leather seats, contrasting stitching added to the shift boot and parking brake boot and the seats themselves.

Suzuki has not yet determined the price of the model, but we expect to hit the sport to carry a modest price increase of $ 23.234 and $ 25.134 base price of the GTS and SLS, respectively. Look for additional information when the cars arrive at retailers nationwide in August 2010.

Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2009

Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2009

 
 
 The vehicle's surprising off-road performance is matched by an equally impressive interior, making the Grand Vitara the perfect choice for adventure-minded drivers seeking to confidently explore the outside world in comfort and style. The ultimate discovery vehicle, the Suzuki Grand Vitara helps customers engage directly with their environment and their experiences.

For 2009, the rugged and award-winning Suzuki Grand Vitara, a true SUV in a segment of "soft-roaders," offers "brute-ute" owners the opportunity to resize for better fuel economy without settling for a "cute-ute" lacking full SUV capability. A standard, all-new four-cylinder engine provides drivers with better mileage, and a new, more powerful V6 delivers fuel economy better than the V6 it replaces.

Performance and Functionality
The new Suzuki-developed 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces 166 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of peak torque, delivering EPA fuel economy estimates of up to 19 mpg/city and 26 mpg/highway. Available for Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport and Luxury models is a new 3.2-liter V6 engine with 230 horsepower and 213 lb.-ft. of torque, replacing the 2.7-liter V6 engine in 2008 Grand Vitara that produced 185 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Despite an increase of 45 horsepower, the new V6 betters the old motor in fuel economy ratings. The new engine is also 20 percent cleaner than the 2008 model as measured by the State of California's smog index rating. The new V6 also features variable valve timing for both the intake and exhaust camshafts, and both Suzuki Grand Vitara engines use a zero-maintenance timing chain in place of a belt.

The Grand Vitara's new four-cylinder engine can be teamed to a standard five-speed manual transmission or a new four-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 is matched to a standard five-speed automatic transmission. To help fulfill their sense of adventure, customers can choose among RWD models, Single-Mode four-wheel drive or Four-Mode full-time four-wheel drive, a traction system unlike anything else offered in the segment. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP�) is standard for all Suzuki Grand Vitara models, along with a new rollover sensor for the standard side curtain airbags. Enhancing performance on any road is a strengthened structure for 2009, plus rear disc brakes that replace the previous drums.

Suzuki Four-Mode four-wheel drive offers the best of both worlds: further aided by a completely retuned suspension, it is exceptionally capable off-road but is civilized on the asphalt. On pavement, drivers can leave the dash-mounted transfer case switch in 4H and the electronically controlled on-demand four-wheel-drive system will apply traction to the front wheels only as needed, optimizing economy. When traveling off-road, or for low-speed power and traction, drivers can turn the switch to high-range 4H Lock or low-range 4L Lock to engage the center differential lock. The V6 models with Four-Mode full-time four-wheel drive also feature Hill Descent Control and Hill Hold Control, which can enhance driving safety on steep slopes.

Built Like a Brute
The Suzuki Grand Vitara continues Suzuki's 40-year heritage of building compact but rugged SUV-type vehicles, including a model named "Brute." The current Grand Vitara has proven its durability in some of the toughest global markets. Key to the Grand Vitara's go-anywhere capability is its unibody construction with integrated ladder frame, rear-drive-based driveline and four-wheel independent suspension. Typically, only luxury SUVs offer this premium architecture. This type of construction yields the strength and capability sought in large SUVs, while providing the on-road agility and ride quality expected in a modern compact SUV.

Also separating the Suzuki Grand Vitara from the "high wagons" in the segment is the availability of a Four-Mode full time four-wheel-drive system with two-speed transfer case. This hardware, combined with its rugged body construction, steep approach and departure angles, and 7.9 inches of ground clearance (4WD models), enables the Grand Vitara to keep going when the pavement turns to trail. In addition, the Suzuki Grand Vitara 3,000-lb. towing capacity (with V6) is double that of many car-based models and enough to haul light recreational boats, ATVs or motorcycles.

Safety
Beyond offering a strong-yet-weight-optimized structure, the unibody with built-in ladder frame contributes to collision protection in the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The reinforced cabin has the added safety of head-impact protection pad and front and rear side-impact door beams.

Active safety (the ability to help avoid an accident) technology in every Suzuki Grand Vitara model includes anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution, tire pressure monitoring system and ESP with traction control. ESP helps ensure vehicle stability when cornering, under acceleration, during emergency maneuvers and when driving on slippery road surfaces. Taking input from a variety of sensors, ESP has the ability to apply individual brakes and reduce engine torque to help the driver maintain the desired line of travel.

Standard passive safety features in every Suzuki Grand Vitara model include driver and front passenger seat-mounted side-impact airbag supplemental restraint systems (SRS), advanced dual-stage front airbag SRS, advanced weight-sensing front passenger airbag SRS and front and rear side-curtain airbags networked with a rollover sensor. The three-point driver and front passenger seat belts feature pretensioners and shoulder height adjustment. Each rear seating position is equipped with a three-point seatbelt and a headrest. Also provided is a rear child-seat LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children).

The Grand Vitara's safety engineering also reflects Suzuki's attention to pedestrian impacts demanded in many global markets. The front end and the bumper integrate energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the possibility of serious leg injuries. The hood is designed to absorb some of the impact and help protect against serious head injuries. These factors helped the 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest rating of good in its most recent frontal crash protection test. In combination, these active and passive safety features make Suzuki Grand Vitara one of the best-equipped compact SUVs with respect to safety.

The Look and Function of a Suzuki
To simplify and improve the driver experience, Suzuki offers easy-to-use features that add useful, real-world functionality to each vehicle. The Suzuki Grand Vitara shows its Suzuki sensibilities in the simple, uncluttered design. Form follows function, with styling that does not compromise visibility, as it does in many crossover-type SUVs. Handsome good looks are part of the mix, too, along with SUV necessities, including short overhangs and roof rails. Exterior mirrors, door handles and bumpers are all color keyed.

The compact exterior footprint contains a roomy, comfortable and versatile cabin to take people and cargo on daily trips or extraordinary voyages. The Suzuki Grand Vitara offers comfortable seating for five, including reclining rear seats, and 24.4 cu.-ft. of storage space with the rear seats up. Cargo space expands to 68.9 cu.-ft. with the 60/40 split-folding seatbacks folded. High-quality materials and attention to fit and finish should help make a driver accustomed to a large luxury SUV feel at home. Controls are easy to access and use, which anyone used to driving a large luxury SUV might find refreshing.

Four Trim Lines, Two Engines, Three Drivelines
The 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara four-cylinder model is offered in four trim levels: Base, Premium, XSport and Luxury. The base model is RWD only, but its list of standard equipment is far from basic and includes: air conditioning with automatic climate control and micron air filtration system, trip computer, power windows, mirrors and door locks, remote keyless entry, tilt steering wheel, automatic on/off headlamps, four-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM Satellite Radio�-capable audio system and 16-inch wheels.

The Premium model (four-cylinder only) adds an available four-speed automatic transmission, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with illuminated audio controls, cruise control, privacy glass, full-size spare tire cover, cargo cover, and, when equipped with the optional Single-Mode four-wheel drive, heated exterior mirrors.

Suzuki Alto, 2009

Suzuki Alto, 2009

 
 

At the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Suzuki has unveiled the all-new Suzuki Alto � the fifth and smallest member of its acclaimed lineup of world strategic models. The new Suzuki Alto combines eye-catching style and easy urban mobility with great performance in terms of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, thereby meeting the lifestyle needs of today's motorists and the pressing global need for environmental compatibility. Plus, it is one of the most fun-to-drive city cars available � a great new example of Suzuki's "Way of Life!" philosophy.

As the second model in the second phase of Suzuki's world strategy (a phase that's focused on user-friendliness and delivering expanded possibilities for family members), the new Suzuki Alto offers good levels of comfort and convenience within a modest overall length.
Plus, a design that combines sporty, European-inspired looks with great aerodynamics means the new Suzuki Alto is the most stylish car of its size.

The new Suzuki Alto reflects the unparalleled knowledge of small-cars that has made Suzuki so successful with minivehicles in Japan and compact cars like the Swift all over the world. Suzuki Alto is a definitive response to the need for enjoyable, eco-friendly motoring. Suzuki aims to achieve annual sales of 60,000 units in Europe following a sales launch in spring 2009.

The new Alto is aimed mainly at urban people who want a small car that offers style and enjoyment together with great environmental credentials, and it reflects the ideals of the second phase of Suzuki's world strategy. At the heart of the concept for the new Suzuki Alto is Suzuki's belief that people should be able to enjoy economical, eco-friendly motoring without sacrificing style, comfort, practicality, or performance. Compact dimensions (the new Suzuki Alto is the smallest of Suzuki's world strategic models) play a large part in realising outstanding environmental credentials by keeping weight to a minimum, but without detracting from user-friendliness.

Design, Comfort and Practicality
The new Suzuki Alto has a sporty, solid look that exudes urban energy despite the body's compact dimensions. The design is elegant and beautiful thanks to aerodynamically efficient contours that combine tautness with evocative curviness. It is ideally matched to European tastes and with a drag coefficient of just 0.30 promotes fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions.

The cabin layout apportions most of the space to the front seats but still provides ample space for four adults. Handy storage spaces for small items are located all around the cabin. Notwithstanding the new Alto's compact exterior dimensions, there's a usable amount of luggage space behind the rear seats, and folding down the rear seatback expands the space into a roomy luggage area suited to daily use.

Performance and Environmental Compatibility
The new Suzuki Alto is powered by a three cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine successfully launched as an engine of the Suzuki Splash. This unit is light and compact with low friction characteristics. Maximum power output is 68PS (50kW) with maximum torque of 90Nm. Fuel consumption is low at 62.7 mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions are just 103g/km. Standard transmission is a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission (uncommon among one-litre cars) with gate-type shifter is available as an option.

Suspension
The front suspension is of MacPherson strut type and the large, high-rigidity suspension frame is complemented by further strengthening in the strut mounting areas for superior handling. The rear suspension has Suzuki's proprietary 3-link rigid axle design, and incorporates numerous refinements for the new car. The coil springs and dampers were tuned for optimum handling stability through extensive testing on roads in Europe.

Suzuki targeted handling that makes driving enjoyable on urban roads, so drivers enjoy linear response, gentle roll movements, light steering feel, and good absorption of shock and vibration. These benefits reflect the experience Suzuki has gained in motorsport around the world.

Safety
To help the driver avoid hazards on the road, the new Suzuki Alto is available with Electronic Stability Program (ESP�), which modulates the engine performance and applies the brakes during cornering and under aceleration.

In the unfortunate event of an accident, the new Suzuki Alto's body reflects Suzuki's Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) concept in the form of crushable structures that absorb impact energy, frame members that disperse impact energy away from occupants and a strong cabin structure. Use of high-tensile steel for major body parts means the resulting high level of occupant safety does not add excessive weight to the body.

SRS front, side, and curtain airbags are available to reduce the severity of impacts suffered by occupants in the event of a collision. Energy-absorbing trim materials provide further head protection.

SZ4 models are keyless start, automatic climate control and 15-inch alloy wheels.


1.3-liter gasoline

Suzuki Swift is designed to excel in city driving on winding roads or country. Its gasoline engine, a 1.3-liter 92PS was selected for a strong performance in the low engine speed and medium speed.

The engine provides enjoyable driving characteristics, with shipping 1.3-liter Suzuki Swift from 0 to 62 mph in 11 seconds. The maximum speed is 109 mph. This behavior is consistent with the solid fuel economy of all models easily exceed 40mpg in combined cycle driving, including auto 1.5, which returns 43.5mpg. Economy rises to 48.7mpg for the 1.3-liter.


Transmissions

The same five-speed manual transmission used in both petrol and diesel models, suitably adjusted gears for diesel. It will provide solid and worthy of high-speed gear shift, thanks to improved access to accommodation. Suzuki Swift rare segment, four-speed automatic available as a standard five-door 1.5-liter SZ4 design is a gated shift lever.

Global perspectives, focusing on Europe

Suzuki Swift was the first product of Suzuki program in radical innovation to strengthen its position both as the first compact car maker and motorcycle brands in the foreground. It introduces new ideas and thoughts that will define the design of many other new models from Suzuki in the coming years.

Suzuki Swift is a global vision and production - is built in Japan, Hungary, China and India - but its development has focused on the strict requirements and preferences of the European market in terms of design and driving characteristics. In fact, the first step of the design team was to create a base in Europe, where he was able to obtain valuable information on the European way of thinking and inspiration for the environment. And a lot of chassis development and improvement based on real-world information acquired by the wide road and track testing across the continent.

The result is an innovative design, sporty and elegant, with true international appeal. As a new departure in Suzuki design, develop themes Swift style first seen in the Concept S and Concept-car exhibition S2, and shows the willingness of the company to develop original interpretations of well-established market segments .

Designers deliberately avoided the tendency to "a box of conformity, but to produce content through the design of the hood. Muscular, flared wheel arches, bold sills and wheels pushed out to every corner, and the panel with broad shoulders, which will always express their car's rear lights and the inherent stability of dynamic change.

The strong curvature of the nose and the openings of the large square cut, and deep spoiler with grille to add further distinction. The black and AB-pillars create a greenhouse effect and the wraparound headlights sweep back home in the wings to mirror the shape of the taillight.

The particular shape of the tailgate combines a large rear bumper to give the solid appearance of the bottom of the body. At the top of the tailgate, the rear edge of the roof is shaped spoiler to improve aerodynamics and save 1 kg more value than usual bolt-on item.

A framework to match your search


Suzuki European Programme for the Development of the chassis has paid off with the Suzuki Swift offers a level of treatment that will appeal to the amateur as far as the typical B-segment customers, while achieving a refined and comfortable. These qualities are provided by one of the biggest titles in its class - 1,470 mm front and 1480 mm rear - combined with a wheelbase of 2,390 mm.

The platform, created recently for Suzuki Swift, has a front subframe mount which are management, suspension arms and lower motor connected to the rear. The structure is rigid generates less road noise and a strong sense of stability.

MacPherson strut front suspension matched by a torsion beam and springs in the rear. The low unsprung weight arrangement torsion beam allows effective control of camber angle and toe to deliver accurate and predictable handling, any development of space-efficient plays a crucial role in achieving a low, flat boot floor.

To complete the driving experience, Suzuki Swift, the benefits of a steering rack that gives direct and precise meaning and a braking system with rigid forceps, especially to improve braking performance.

Despite the Suzuki Swift 1690 mm wide, it is still very manageable statements about the city. Turning radius is a compact 9.4 million.
