Called Apra Automobiles . Hehad no clue what I said. He said no Swift Sport available. I asked him did he have one on display and he denied. Do not know if he is telling the truth or not.

Lol. Why would a dealer lie about what he has or does not have in his showroom! they are in the business of selling cars I would think!

Looks like this is another rumour that has now been put to rest.

[msharma_79]

but only reasons i could come up with that the car is less practical
People Looking for VFM might get a bit dissapointed,
not a good enough mileage per ltr.
space is an issue in the car
like i said earlier looks are either loved or hated by people

[diabloo]

Swift Sports may come or may not. But we have '1.6 Palio Stile Sport' in the market now. Keeping mass market aside, I really doubt if Swift Sport will appeal to enthusiats like the Palio.

Nope. The M16A VVT, stock, runs 11.1:1 compression (So 125 bhp= ~110 with a reasonable 10:1; for India). Surprisingly, you actually lower the compression to get more power out of the M16. It's more to do with the cams, redlines, ECM's & swirl chambers/patterns.

The JWRC spec engines that produce 218 horses are tuned beyond the financial capabilities of aam junta. Who else could afford platinum alloy internals?

Haha. You're kidding, right RT? Or have you turned over a new leaf in terms of having faith in dealers? AFAIK, no dealer has ever told the truth about an upcoming model. Classic examples seen in past include the new Endy TDCi, Fiesta, Safari DICOR, etc. etc... but perhaps the dealer is right in this case. Or is he...?

Probably 90% janta think like you, but 10% dont. Those 10% want intl products, more power, greater safety, newer models etc and are willing to pay for it. Now even though there are many that hate Swift, but its just caz angoor khatte hai. Its the most selling car since its launch in its segment. Virtually had made Getz extinct, effected sales of car in lower and higher segment. There are bound to be those that hate it, as the car ignites a lot neighbors envy owners pride factor.
Lastly not everyone is concerned about economy. I see more Pulsar 200cc on road than 180cc goes to show ppl are willing to pay for that wee bit extra and not just tale kitna peeti hai factor!!!

Atuljee, if the Swift Sport was already in his showroom like the original poster claimed, why on earth would they deny it! lol. Its got nothing to do with a clash of existing products or an upgrade/facelift of an existing product! That's a different case.

Like the jim carrey said in the Bruce almighty " all that horse power and nowhere to gallop".

angoor khate hai ouch!!!!!! man take that knife out it hurts. i actually like the swift, i was talking about the general perception.

[aerohit]

Looking at demand for S-Cross 1.6, I doubt

First, people complain that Maruti doesnt launch powerful engines, and when they do they complain again!

You cant get gold for the price of aluminum.

Swift Sport spotted in India. Considering the current aggressive launch plans by Maruti, can we expect one here?

Swift Sport Generation change will happen in 2023. Don't think Maruti will launch a non-Hybrid (strong) Swift in the Indian market as now their launches will be in that direction as the SWIFT SPORT is a Global product of Suzuki.

It is not clear if this is a test mule of the Swift Sport for India, or a private import.

What’s that weird cut out? Looks like a big projector/ radar or a ray gun.

Please no, don't give me hope.

Not sure but they could be testing something for the new generation of Swift/Swift Sport. (Transition into the next generation of Swift is happening in 2023 I believe).

This could either be a private import or it could be Suzuki testing tech for the next gen Swift/Swift Sport for launch in India and I pray to god and hope that it's the former.

I feel like the problem here is not Suzuki Global or the Executives in Hamamatsu but the Indian arm (aka Maruti). I feel like if they had their way we in India would've gotten many of the cars in Suzuki's global portfolio in India. Like the Swift Sport, S-Cross 1.6 Petrol, Liana (this was the Esteem/Baleno replacement in the 2000's for international markets) and the International Jimny.

The one that hurts the most is the Jimny as they already produce it in India for export to Africa, all they have to do to sell the Jimny in India is to send the cars to stockyards and showrooms instead of a ship destined for Africa.

The car has not a single visible Suzuki logo. The front has a cutout where the logo is supposed to be and the alloy wheels are blank. Why anyone?

As for import, I highly doubt anyone would import Swift Sport, which everyone will just consider another Swift. The only reason for importing it over other hot hatches could be the availability of non-mechanical parts.
