No horsepower and torque figures have been shared for this concept yet, but it will retain its front-wheel drivetrain as we expect it to continue to be built on Suzuki’s lightweight Heartect platform. It looks production-ready, right down to the traditional rear door handles, which replace the current model’s hidden, C-pillar-mounted items. In due course, we also expect a Swift Sport hot hatch to arrive.
The current most powerful version is the Swift Sport, which uses a 1.4-liter four-banger, making 138 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. These figures aren’t that impressive, especially compared to the current Mini JCW Hardtop’s 228 hp. But the Swift Sport weighs just 2,138 lbs, making it an absolute featherweight alongside the not-so-Mini JCW’s circa 2,900-lb curb weight.
So, what do you think? Is this new Swift a Mini Hardtop from Wish, or have the Japanese designed something funky in its own right?
