Stung by the arrival of a 100% electric Mini, Suzuki had to react by offering a version of “virtuous” of his Swift. This has now changed. Admittedly, this Swift Plug-In Hybrid is presented to us at the stage of concept-car, but it is nevertheless interesting for several reasons. Like the Chevrolet Volt, the engine (54 hp) is to reinforce the electric motor (54 kW or 73 hp) and not vice versa.
Thus, when the lithium-ion batteries are flat, the gasoline engine’s main function is to recharge … Unless you find a power outlet nearby. Indeed, as his surname English – Plug-In – suggests, the Swift is charging a single outlet and can therefore run continuously in electric mode. Too bad that the manufacturer does not nippon more information about battery life and performance.
Once is not custom, its lodge Swift Hybrid lithium-ion batteries at the bottom of the center console.
The question is whether this Plug-In Hybrid will have a chance of being sold a day. Probably not on the current version of the Suzuki Swift. Let’s see what happens.
