Suzuki Introduces Dualjet Technology to Swift Model

Suzuki Swift will deliver improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions. The reason for this is the addition of new engine for the popular Swift model. The 1.2-litre petrol unit is planned to be introduced next year. This engine incorporates Suzuki’s latest technology that uses twin fuel injectors in order to deliver better fuel economy. This new technology is called Dualjet and it has resulted in Swift achieving 65.7 mpg on the EC combined fuel consumption cycle.

Precisely, this is an improvement of 9.2 mpg or 16 percent over the current petrol engine. The other benefit of Dualjet technology is the reduced CO2 emissions, which are now rated at 99g/km. In addition, the Dualjet technology positions the fuel injectors very close to the engine inlet valves. This allows for a finer fuel atomisation or mixture, which in turn provides more effective transfer into the cylinder.

Furthermore, internal modifications to the unit feature the utilization of a new type of inlet port and combustion chamber with other mechanical parts. This minimizes frictional losses and facilitate smoother running.

Other changes have been made to the piston crowns have. They have been modified with a slight bowl shape to deliver higher air turbulence inside the cylinder. In addition, the pistons have cooling oil jets to help reduce internal temperatures.

The future Swift will also benefit from a new type of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. It will be utilized in order to help avoid abnormal combustion or ‘knocking’. These modifications have resulted in a higher compression ratio of 12.0:1 versus 11.0:1 for the current engine.

The new 1.2-litre petrol unit produces a maximum of 90 hp (66 kW) and 120 Nm (89 lb-ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm. When compared to the previous petrol unit, which delivers 94 hp (69 kW) and 118 Nm (87 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm, this accounts for subtle changes, but in improved fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.

Other modifications feature slight alterations to gear ratios for greater flexibility on the road, and the addition of Engine Auto Stop Start (EASS). The Dualjet technology will initially be available as an optional engine choice on the Swift SZ4 two wheel drive models. Pricing will be confirmed closer to introduction.

2014 Suzuki Swift SZ4 4×4 Model Introduced

2014 Suzuki Swift SZ4 4×4 is being introduced to the European continent after its huge success in Japan. The strong heritage the brand has for 4WD models will make this Swift a true on-road icon.

The model will be offered as a five door 1.2 petrol model with manual transmission and equipped as either an SZ3 or SZ4 grade. Furthermore, the innovations around it include the new badging and the slightly increased body ride height of 25 mm. This makes the SZ3 the same in terms of ride height as the SZ3 five door.

Suzuki Swift Sport Concept at 2012 AIMS

Suzuki Australia will be celebrating the depth and heritage of its entire brand offering at the 2012 Australian International Motor Show with products from Suzuki Cars, Motorcycles and Marine on display.

The headlining act of the Suzuki stand will definitely be a vehicle though with a one-off Suzuki Swift from its chief engineer Naoyuki Takeuchi taking centre stage and giving an insight into the future design and engineering for Suzuki‘s number one vehicle globally.

Joining the one-off Swift on stand will be Suzuki’s current range of best-selling automobiles including the full SX4 and Grand Vitara ranges as well as some of its popular motorcycles and a 7m bowrider boat outfitted with a 175hp Suzuki engine.

Suzuki will be the only exhibitor at the 2012 Australian International Motor Show with offerings from its full contingent of transport options on display.

What prompted the idea of a shared stand for 2012 was the success of the advertising campaign celebrating the engineering partnership between its legendary Hayabusa motorcycle and its new luxury sports sedan, the Kizashi – with both on display.

“It’s great what Suzuki Australia will be doing at this year’s Motor Show. We find some visitors to the Show are extremely interested in what particular exhibitors offer in all of their fields, not just in automotive,” said Russ Tyrie, Event Director.

“Visitors to the Motor Show will be able to see the full range of Suzuki vehicles including an exciting one-off concept Swift, but also examples of what else the company offers in the motorcycle and marine markets.”

Alongside the Hayabusa, Suzuki Motorcycles will also have on display the championship-winning GSX-R1000 sportsbike from Josh Waters who recently claimed the 2012 Australian Superbike Championship as well as its versatile V-Strom 650 adventure tourer.

The 2012 Australian International Motor Show will be held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour and will open daily at 10am from October 19 to 28.

Suzuki Splash – Mini-MPV?

Remember talking about the crossbreeding of car segments? Now comes the question, since when is the Suzuki Splash an MPV? Especially the latest one which is 60mm longer than the previous ones, solely because of it’s bumpers. That’s not the MPV way. Yes, the Splash has folding rear seats which provide 573 liters of luggage space but so does a Polo.

Still, at Suzuki claim that the 2012 model has space for five inside and legroom won’t be an issue. As we mentioned, the bumpers are new, the hood and grille are restyled but the price stays the same. ($12,104 for the 1.0l SZ2 model) Inside you also get some refinement thanks to the newly designed seat fabric, the Piano Black finish for the center console and other stylish touches.

The Splash comes with two engines. The one to go for is the 94 PS 1.2l petrol unit. It has Dual VVT (Variable DOHC) and it made a good reputation for itself in the Swift. 55.4 mpg on the combined cycle (choose manual). The 1.0l, three cylinder petrol is for the ultra-eco-minded who will get 60.1 mpg on the combined cycle. But if you plan to carry around 5 people inside and/or luggage (that’s what MPVs do) you’ll find that 68 PS will leave you rather frustrated in real world.

No matter what trim you choose (SZ2, SZ3 or SZ4) for whichever engine, you get four airbags, CD tuner with MP3 player and steering wheel-mounted audio controls; leather-trimmed steering wheel; remote central locking; front electric windows with driver’s auto-down; electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors; height-adjustable front seats; tilt adjustable steering wheel and an information display as standard. SZ3 models get air conditioning as well while SZ4 models with the 1.2l engine get ESP, more airbags, 15 inch wheels, fog lights, kelyess entry and start and tinted windows at the back.
