2017 Suzuki Swift's front revealed in an undisguised spy shot

A single image showcasing the front fascia of the 2017 Suzuki Swift has surfaced on the Internet. This is the first undisguised spy shot of the new-gen Swift, which is expected to make its world debut in the first quarter of next year.

The 2017 Swift gets a comprehensively redesigned front fascia, though it manages to look like an evolution of its predecessor. The spy shot reveals a prominent snout and a low-slung appearance. It gets a wide hexagonal chrome-lined front grille, a new pair of headlamps, large fog lamp housings that are joined together through a blacked-out area on the bumper and diamond cut alloy wheels. The headlights are expected to get projectors and LED DRLs. The A and B pillars are blacked out, while a small portion of the C-pillar also appears to get the black treatment, thus providing a floating roof effect. The rear door handle is placed in the window line, similar to the arrangement found on the Chevrolet Beat.

Previous spy shots have showcased that the next-gen Swift will likely get an all-black dashboard, a new flat-bottom steering wheel and circular AC vents. Suzuki appears to have borrowed various interior elements from other cars in its portfolio, as the spotted model's infotainment system looked similar to the unit found on the lower variants (Delta and Zeta) of the Maruti Baleno, while the gear lever is also identical to that of the Baleno and the Vitara Brezza.

The new Swift will be based on the Baleno's lightweight platform. It is expected to weigh less than the Baleno, owing to its smaller size. In the Indian market, the 2017 Swift is expected to carry on with the existing 1.2-litre K-Series petrol and 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engines.
