Before talking about the new Suzuki Swace I would like to ask you a question: How many of you really know about automotive groups and brand partnerships ? Decades ago, the automotive industry ceased to be a market for small independent particles to become a kind of grammar tree. To this day there are few, if any, firms that operate at their own pace, without interacting or collaborating with others to develop their vehicles. That is why when we talk about the new Suzuki Swace we can also talk about the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports . What’s more, the union between the two manufacturers is so flagrant that only a specific front and the logos that identify it differentiate them. You may think that this detracts from the Swace but I prefer the reliability, efficiency and coherence that this brings to the buyer . A driver more concerned with consumption and maintenance than with the originality, passion and emotion of his means of transport.
The Suzuki Swace is a simple model without too many frills. Its objective is to transport passengers from point A to point B with the maximum safety, tranquility and efficiency possible. To do this, it uses the same propulsion system that the Toyota Corolla Touring Sport launched, with 122 hp of power and an average consumption of 4.5 l / 100 km . Its dimensions make it the ideal option for families, with 4.65 meters long by 1.79 m wide and 1.46 m high. Its wheelbase is 2.70 meters, which augurs a wide interior space although it could be better. The trunk, on the other hand, is the best that we will find in the segment with 596 liters of capacity , expandable to 1,232 liters if we fold down the rear seats.
The most logical question when we talk about the Swace is: What does it contribute with respect to the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports? The idea of the brand is to offer a really economical car, with decent equipment and level security systems. It will be on sale in two trim levels (GLE and GLX) and its starting price is 23,545 euros .
