Recently, the company announced that the latest Swift Sport will get a mild-hybrid powertrain. It will go on sale in April in the UK. It will also be sold all over Europe.
Apart from the sports model, the hybrid variant of the standard model of swift is already available, and you can see the details on the official site of the company.
The latest Swift Sports Hyrbid will have lower carbon emissions with improved fuel efficiency. Suzuki claims that the emissions of the new swift hybrid will be reduced to 127g of CO2 per km with an improved fuel efficiency of 50.1 MPG or 21.1 km/l.

Engine and Performance
The Swift hybrid car will have a 1.4L ‘Boosterjet’ turbocharged engine. The engine is capable of churning out a maximum of 127 HP and a peak torque of 173 lb-ft (235 Nm). With the new hybrid battery, the motor assists in providing a boost of torque at lower RPMs.
