The Swift Plug-in Hybrid is a series hybrid incorporating a propulsion motor, a battery, and an engine-powered generator. The Swift Plug-in Hybrid is powered by a battery that’s charged from a household mains socket. When the battery runs low, an engine of a kind usually used in minivehicles powers a generator that charges the battery. This means the Swift Plug-in Hybrid not only meets the needs of the many people who drive no more than 20km each day but also saves users from worrying about being stranded or having to search for a charging stand if the battery runs low.

Suzuki also gave the Swift Plug-in Hybrid concept re-worked headlights and new wheels. The Suzuki Swift Plug-in Hybrid interior features a different trim and has lightweight front seats. With the Swift Plug-in Hybrid, anyone can easily do something for the environment while enjoying daily mobility.

Suzuki will have a major presence at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009, which will be held at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Chiba City from 21 October to 4 November 2009.
