The motor of the Sport Swift has specific modification to increase power: it has a system variable distribution for the escape and admission valves, conduits of admission heavier and polished (to favor the passage of the air to a high engine) and forged pistons cooled by oil spurts (that favor that the compression ratio can be relatively high, 11.1 to 1).

The chassis also has changes with respect to the rest of models of range. Thus, the direction (electrical) has a different adjustment and the shock Monroe absorbers and bearings are specific for this version. Also there are certain elements of the structure of the frame that are more rigid than in the rest of the Swift models, although at the moment, Suzuki has not determined which are to be standard.

The wheels of the Sport Swift are Good Year Eagle F1 225/45 R17. Other elements that differentiate the Sport Swift are the front skirt and back end, and the double chrome.

In the interior, there are “sport” front seats with black a red fabric cloth. There are plastic and red fabric details in the doors with aluminum effect in the doors and the steering wheel. The pedals are made in metal with rubber insertions. The steering wheel is covered in leather.
