The scooter has an all-new bodywork design. It is now much sharper, with angular design elements on the apron. Suzuki has mounted the headlight on the apron, as opposed to the handlebar in the previous generation scooter. The indicators and DRLs flank the headlight, and the lighting system is all LED. The tail light and the rear indicator are also neatly integrated into the bodywork. The pillion seat is raised and comes with split grab handles. The pillion footpeg sits flush into the body.

It is also possible that the upcoming 125cc scooter may not be the 2018 Swish, but a new product designed for India. Expect more details in the coming weeks. If the Japanese brand launches the scooter, it will go head-to-head against the recently launched Honda Grazia, which is the only sporty 125cc scooter in the segment.
