A Blend of Functionality and Style- Suzuki Swift Mocca Cafe Edition Stands Tall in the Competitive Small Car Market
At the 2023 Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS), Suzuki has showcased exciting new car editions. Earlier we saw the Celerio Classic, and now here is Swift Mocca Cafe Edition, a limited edition model, only available in Thailand.
Base price of the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition is 637,000 Baht, which is equivalent to Rs. 15.36 lakh. Add-ons cost an additional 114,290 Baht, which is equivalent to Rs. 2.75 lakh. This makes the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition significantly more expensive than the regular Swift at Rs 18.15 lakh, ex-sh.
What sets the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition apart from the standard Swift model?
Maruti Suzuki Swift is a popular car model that has been in production since 2005. With its functional design and reliable performance, it has been a top choice for many car buyers. Today, the car is priced between Rs 6-9 lakh (ex-sh), making it an affordable and practical option for many. A winner for a brand that’s renowned for producing affordable cars.
For starters, Swift Mocca Cafe edition gets a new dual-tone colour combination. For context, India-spec Swift gets Pearl Metallic Lucent Orange, Metallic Silky Silver, Metallic Magma Grey, Solid Fire Red, Pearl Metallic Midnight Blue and Pearl Arctic White. There are dual-tone combos with either White or Black roof.
Swift Mocca Cafe Edition’s colour combination is a brilliant mix of warm pastel Brown in the lower body, and strong Beige on its roof and ORVMs. Interior colour combination is the same. Pastel Brown on the dashboard and door elements, and Nappa leather seat upholstery in Beige and Brown colours. This well put together look is well matched with the 10-inch infotainment system that runs on Android OS.
A Quick Look at the Sporty Design of the Suzuki Swift Mocca Cafe Edition
In terms of design changes, the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition has several updates that give it a more aggressive and sporty look. These include an aggressive front lip spoiler, LED DRL on top of fog lights, and body cladding, extending from the front spoiler, over its wheel arches to its rear bumper.
The twin faux exhaust tips are housed in a faux diffuser. 17-inch after-market alloy wheels are befitting. These changes make the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition a head-turner on the road, and give it a more upscale feel.
These are 5-spoke Type-G units from Cosmis Racing that remind us of Patrick starfish from Spongebob. Tyres are from Cosmis Racing as well. There is a shark-fin antenna as well. The 1.2L K12M engine offered in Thailand makes 83 PS of power and 108 Nm and runs on E20 fuel (Ethanol 20% blend).
Under the hood, the Swift Mocca Cafe Edition is powered by the K12M engine, which returns 83 PS and 108 Nm. The small hatch runs on E20 fuel, which is a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline. This makes it a more eco-friendly option in the Swift lineup, developed to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. The car is targeted towards buyers who want a small and affordable daily driver that is both reliable and efficient. And who value style and are willing to pay a premium for a limited edition car.
Suzuki Car Names Inspired By Coffee
This is not the first time Suzuki has had a car which has a name that is inspired by coffee. Maruti Suzuki Espresso and Swift Mocca Cafe – two cars that offer an affordable yet practical solution. Maybe, just like a good cup of coffee, these cars provide a simple and enjoyable experience without breaking the bank. As for their names, it’s unclear why manufacturers choose certain names for their cars.
