铃木近日在法兰克福车展发布了2018款雨燕运动版。这款运动风格掀背车的外观更突出侵略性，车身增加两个更多空力套装。只有运动版提供了前扰流唇和新的蜂巢形格栅。为了使运动版与标准版车型在外观上有所区别，铃木为其安装了一对更宽大侧踏板，17英寸抛光合金轮圈，取自JuniorWRC赛车的专属冠军黄车身涂装。车尾采用了新的散流器和双排气尾管，进一步突出了车辆的运动风格。顶置扰流器进一步优化了车身整体气动布局。新车重量比老款车降低了80公斤至970公斤，但变化不仅限于次。该车不再搭载1.6升自然进气引擎而是一台1.4升涡轮引擎，功率增加了4马力至103千瓦/138马力，扭矩增加70牛米至230牛米。为了提升操控乐趣，该车只提供六速手动变速器，虽然它来自老款车，但铃木工程师对其进行了调校，提升了换挡平顺性。车厢内采用半桶形座椅和新的7英寸触控显示屏信息娱乐系统，可兼容安卓Auto和苹果CarPlay并支持MirrorLink。红色转速表与车厢内的其他红色装饰件非常搭配，平底真皮方向盘也采用红色缝线，此外还有合金踏板和镀铬排挡杆。该车与标准版一样提供丰富安全配置，包括车道偏离警示（有效范围时速60-160公里），穿行物体警示（时速60公里及以上有效），远光灯辅助（时速40公里及以上有效）和自适应巡航控制。
2018 Suzuki Swift Sport Adds Turbo, Removes Weight
After a teaser and some leaked images of the official brochure, the new Suzuki Swift Sport is finally making its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Cuter than ever, the feisty hatchback adopts a slightly more aggressive appearance and it’s also more aerodynamic. Only the Sport version gets the front spoiler lip and a new look for the grille featuring a honeycomb pattern.
To set it apart from its less powerful sibling, Suzuki has installed a pair of beefier side skirts, 17-inch polished alloy wheels, and will offer an exclusive Champion Yellow paint derived from the Junior WRC rally car. At the back, there’s a new diffuser and dual exhaust tips further contributing to the car’s sporty credentials. Rounding off the upgrades on the outside is the roof-mounted spoiler to optimize aero.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Swift Sport has managed to shave off a considerable 80 kilograms (176 pounds) and it now tips the scales at just 970 kg (2,138 lbs), but that’s not the only significant change.
Gone is the naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine as it had to make way for a turbocharged 1.4-liter. It develops 103 kilowatts (138 horsepower) and 170 lb-ft (230 Newton-meters) of torque, so while horsepower has barely changed (+4 hp), torque is up by 52 lb-ft (70 Nm) as a result of forced induction. Since the Swift Sport is all about having fun behind the wheel, the engine is paired exclusively to a six-speed manual gearbox. It was taken from the old model, but Suzuki’s engineers have made some changes to improve shift smoothness.
The interior is home to semi-bucket seats and a new seven-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and MirrorLink connectivity. The red tachometer blends nicely with the other red accents spread throughout the cabin, while the flat-bottomed leather steering wheel gets red stitching. Alloy pedals and a chrome shift knob complete the package.
Like the regular Swift, the new Sport version is available with a wide array of safety tech, including lane departure warning (available between 60 and 160 kph), weaving alert function (60 kph or above), high beam assist (40 kph or faster), and adaptive cruise control.
