Many car enthusiasts would truly hesitate in calling the Suzuki Swift Sport a hot hatch as it might be hot or hatch, but not both. Either way, it is now available in Australia as a right-hand drive car, thus proving that it is still a potent little rocket in its supermini ways. The price of the car is of $25,990 for the CVT transmission and $23,990 for the manual transmission, with power coming from a revised naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine that is capable of producing an increased power as compared to the previous generation, from 125 to 135 HP and torque from 148 to 160 Nm. In spite of this fact, the unit appears to be more frugal as it burns 6.5 liter per 100 km. Even more impressive, as compared to the old generation, the car covers the standard sprint in 8.1 seconds in manual guise, which is 0.3 seconds faster.
