Suzuki’s upcoming compact sedan is expected to make its debut next year and quite obviously also making it to the Indian market. In the Indian market, the upcoming sedan would co-exist with the Swift Dzire, or will be a segment lower and is also likely to cost lesser than the Swift hatchback making it the cheapest compact sedan available in the Indian market.

The interiors of the upcoming compact sedan are similar to the current generation Swift and other new Suzuki cars. Coming to the technical specifications, it is expected to be powered with the same 1.0-litre, three cylinder, K10 petrol engine as its sibling hatchback. It is also expected that the new upcoming sedan would be available in both manual and AMT transmissions.
