Although Suzuki has not yet prefabricated a decision on whether to bring the next-generation Suzuki Swift to the United States, we do know that this car is being engineered to meet U.S. crash standards.

It's also apparent from these spy photos taken in Europe that the new car will be significantly larger than the current Swift. Most likely, though, it's still smaller the SX4, which is based on a stretched version of the existing Swift platform architecture.
