Autoguide.com wrote a great article about the rumors of the Suzuki Swift coming to the North American market. The plan is to reveal the Swift at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2011.

This is news that Swift fans have been waiting for.  Borrowing design cues from Suzuki’s line of GSX-R sport bikes, this concept fuses aggressive styling, big assertive fenders, custom suspension and a wide tire stance.

While details about the power and interior for this hot hatch have been kept under wraps, word is that the Swift-R is to sport a turbo powered engine.

As reviewed by caranddriver.com, the Suzuki Swift Hybrid Plug-In is a Tokyo-bound concept car similar to the SX4 sold here in the US market.

This plug-in hybrid gets a 660cc engine from the Suzuki Kei.  The motor acts as a generator to charge the batteries while driving, providing a range extending setup. Suzuki has positioned the car towards customers who travel fewer than 12 miles a day.

According to the article, the exciting new Suzuki Swift Plug-In Hybrid concept leads to visions of a hybrid Kizashi, perhaps with an increased electric-only range.

Is the Suzuki Swift really coming back to the U.S.? Motor Trend magazine posted an interesting article on the 2011 Suzuki Swift, adding to the speculation that the Swift may be returning to U.S. soil.

The re-designed Suzuki Swift gets 47-56 mpg and still packs some power with a 92 hp engine. This nimble car is smaller than the Suzuki SX4 and will allow drivers the versatility of a modern city car. While the car may be small in size, its big on value with the combination of price and functionality. It will allow drivers to zip around town without the hassles (or fuel economy) of a bulkier car.

Eagle-eyed Suzuki aficionados will notice revised headlights and taillights, a slightly longer and wider body, and an interior that resembles the Kizashi’s. – Motor Trend Magazine
