Moving swiftly to the rescue


Is this the world's first Suzuki Swift used in armed response?
The Northern suburbs community gets its own ‘Swift’ Response vehicle by Red Alert. Seen here with reaction officer Brice Ngubane in the background, this is the first Suzuki Swift to be deployed in crime fighting. Red Alert’s Avinash Sukai said the economical hatch will patrol 250 homes at Oakland Park, and he is very impressed with the response from the 1,2 engine that makes a surprising 63 kW and 115 Nm from only 4 000 rpm. Gary Stokes, dealer principal of Suzuki Fury in Pietermaritzburg said the hatch normally retails for just over R134 k, but they offered good discounts, all including the two-year or 30 000 km service plan; and three-year or 100 000 km warranty with roadside assistance.
