Suzuki has revealed further images of its new Swift which goes on sale in the UK this autumn. 

The new Swift is positioned as Suzuki’s latest world strategic model and will be powered by a new 1.2-litre petrol engine incorporating dual VVT (variable intake and exhaust valve timing) which produces 92bhp at 6,000rpm, slightly more than the outgoing 1.3-litre unit.

Fuel consumption on the combined cycle is now 56.5mpg for the manual transmission model, an improvement of 7.8mpg over the previous 1.3-litre unit.

A 1.3-litre diesel engine is planned for UK introduction in early 2011; this engine emits 109g/km (down from 119g/km) and has fuel consumption of 67.3mpg.

Full details on UK specification and pricing will be announced later in the summer.
