Suzuki set for Paris splash

Suzuki will be strutting its stuff on the catwalk of the Paris motor show in September.

The Japanese firm has two cars to wow the crowds with the arrival of the Swift Sport and a concept car called 'Splash'.

The Swift Sport is based on the three-door model and will go on sale in October, although we'll have to wait until the Paris show for prices.

Under the bonnet sits a 1.6-litre engine with 125bhp, which takes the Swift Sport from 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds and on to 124mph.

The Splash is based on the Swift's platform but is set to use four-wheel drive to provide another model in Suzuki's 4x4 line-up.

A tall body provides plenty of cabin space in the Splash, and Suzuki hopes to see how broad an appeal this type of vehicle has.

A new 1.2-litre petrol engine nestles up front and is attached to a four-speed automatic gearbox.
