It appears Suzuki is saving its most exciting releases for the Indian market.

Debuting at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi last week were two new concepts of the brand’s most iconic models – the Swift ‘Champions’ and the Jimny ‘Conqueror’.

According to Carscoops, though, Suzuki said the models are purely for demonstration purposes to gauge consumer responses.

None of them actually feature chassis or powertrain upgrades, rather, they are just cosmetic and accessory upgrades.

That said, it could signal that Suzuki is gauging demand for future special-edition Swift and Jimny variants, such as a successor to the Swift Sport as Suzuki looks at adding more fuel-efficient variants to its line-up.

The brand has already confirmed the Sport will wrap up production in Japan next month, with Suzuki planning on releasing a special-edition ZC33S Final Edition Swift Sport in Japan from March.=

Plans for Australia remain unconfirmed, however, Suzuki Australia General Manager, Michael Pachota, told CarsGuide he was hopeful a replacement was in the works after Suzuki switched the entire swift hybrid to a 1.2-litre mild-hybrid set up late last year.

“I hope so,” he said. “At this stage, we haven’t been told if there’s going to be a vehicle that replaces Swift Sport down the track in the current guise.”

That could suggest a mild-hybrid iteration of the current Swift Sport, which remains equipped with the previous-generations 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine that adds an additional 42kW of power over the mild-hybrid's 61kW.

It could be a case of adding cosmetic upgrades as opposed to extra power, as is the case with the track-ready Champions concept, which adds an aerodynamic body kit with a rear spoiler, a front splitter and a small rear diffuser.

There are blacked-out multi-spoke alloys wrapped in slick tyres with a white racing graphic, along with a huge Swift decal adorning front bonnet and door panels.

Moving over to the Jimny, it too gets a fancy ‘Jimny’ and ‘4x4’ graphic in a rugged khaki and black paint scheme, along with all terrain tyres which literally spell out ‘All Terrain’ in white.

Additionally, there's a front winch, roof racks with mounted recovery tracks, a rear-mounted spare tyre, ladder, a side-mounted cargo box and a miniature shovel.

Maruti Suzuki, Suzuki's Indian arm, has also extended unique exterior treatment to other models, though none that are currently on sale for the Australian market.
