Suzuki Swift EREV

Every time I start to read about cars there’s a new hybrid announced.  Suzuki is the latest auto maker to announce a plugin hybrid, this one is made from their Suzuki Swift model.

The Swift is already sold in Japan and Europe and comes with a little 1.3-liter diesel engine.  The concept uses a 660 cc engine that charges lithium batteries that in turn power a small 54 kw electric motor.  The battery stack sits between the two front seats, and likely travels into the rear as well.

Reminds me of the Chevy Volt.
