Suzuki makes a splash in Paris
Suzuki’s exhibit at the 2006 Paris Motor Show [September 28 to October 15] will include the following:
Swift Sport [European Specification]
The flagship model of the new Swift range, the European specification Swift Sport based on the 3-door Swift, will have its launch at the Show. It is produced at Magyar Suzuki Corporation in Hungary and sales will start in the autumn.
Sales of the Japanese specification Swift Sport started late last year [2005] and its performance and dynamic design have been well accepted there since its launch.
Reference car: project Splash
Suzuki will also exhibit project ‘Splash’ which is a ‘clinic model’ for another all-new vehicle which will follow the Swift, Grand Vitara, and SX4 onto the market.
Based on the concept of a car that will appeal to many different markets and market sectors Splash is a multipurpose vehicle intended to deliver satisfaction to a very wide spectrum of customers regardless of their lifestyle, age, and gender and with diverse requirements for their personal transportation. It offers:
· Excellent driveability
With its platform shared with the new Swift, Splash combines excellent performance and driveability around town and over long distances.
· Comfortable cabin
A relatively tall body provides ample occupant comfort and space.
· Contemporary interior design
The cabin combines a contemporary design with equipment that maximises user-friendliness.
