Suzuki is gearing up for the fourth-generation Swift Sport, expected to launch in 2026. The new model will feature a 48V mild-hybrid system, improving power and efficiency. Suzuki recently introduced the Swift Sport ZC33S Final Edition, based on the third-generation Swift. It will be available from March 2025 to November 2025. With this, Suzuki is preparing for the 2026 Suzuki Swift Sport, which could be its most advanced version yet.
4th-Gen Swift Sport: Upgraded Engine & Hybrid Tech
The fourth-gen Swift Sport will retain its 1.4-litre turbocharged inline-4 petrol engine but with major enhancements. The power output is expected to increase to 150 PS and 240 Nm of torque. In addition, the 48V mild-hybrid system will contribute 15 PS and 59 Nm, ensuring better acceleration and fuel efficiency. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Improved Power-to-Weight Ratio
The new Swift Sport will maintain a front-wheel-drive setup while optimizing its power-to-weight ratio. It will measure 3,990 mm in length, 1,750 mm in width, and 1,500 mm in height, with a 2,450 mm wheelbase. Weighing around 960 kg, it will be lighter than its predecessor, enhancing agility and responsiveness.
Will the 4th-Gen Swift Sport Come to India?
The Swift Sport’s price is estimated between 2.3 million and 2.5 million yen (₹13.56 lakh – ₹14.74 lakh). Due to its premium pricing, Suzuki is unlikely to launch it in India. Instead, the company is focusing on EV expansion, aiming to dominate the Indian electric vehicle market by 2030. Maruti Suzuki plans to introduce four EVs, including the eVitara and Fronx EV. Other possibilities include an electric Ertiga and a mid-size electric SUV to compete with Tata and Mahindra.
Conclusion
The 2026 Swift Sport will be a powerful, lightweight, and hybrid-enhanced hot hatch. While Indian enthusiasts may not see it in showrooms, Suzuki’s focus on EVs will shape its future lineup. Fans of the Swift Sport can look forward to an even more thrilling driving experience in global markets.
