Suzuki updates Swift Sport, Ignis

Suzuki has confirmed mildly updated versions of the Swift Sport and Ignis will arrive in Australia.

Each of the ‘Series II’ models will be available locally from May, however Suzuki says pricing for both is still to be confirmed.

The Swift Sport Series II adds safety gear such as blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and heated door mirrors.

It also scores a digital speedometer and the choice of a new orange/black two-tone colour .

Mechanically, it is unchanged.

Interestingly, the updates only apply to the Swift Sport, with Suzuki claiming Series II versions of the Swift GL and GLX will be “subject of future communications”.

The Ignis Series II meanwhile doesn’t add any new tech, but rather styling tweaks.

There’s a trio of new colours — Ivory, Khaki and Black — plus anew front grille and newly designed front and rear bumpers.

Suzuki Australia general manager Michael Pachota said the cosmetic changes would make a difference for a car such as this.

“The Ignis has always been a unique proposition,” he said.

“A light compact SUV with eye-catching and stylish looks, the new and improved Ignis Series II has solidified the vehicle's bold design, capturing its ultimate essence as a funky every day city car.”

It will continue to be offered in GL and GLX variants.
