What's the difference between the Suzuki Swift and Swift Sport?

The Swift Sport is faster than the conventional Swift lineup. It also comes with a sportier design, thanks to the unique front and rear end styling. With a stiffer suspension, red trim seats and twin exhaust pipes, the Swift Sport has a more athletic appearance.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

The SZ-L provides the entry point into the lineup with the lowest starting prices. From there, both the SZ-T and SZ5 offer more high-tech features, but the price rises accordingly.

What optional extras should I look out for?

The base Suzuki Swift doesn't come with a lot of extras, so it's worth looking for other options for comfort, connectivity and safety. You may decide that a satnav system is important or desire a hatchback with rear parking sensors for getting into tight spots.

Is the Suzuki Swift a good family car?

The Suzuki Swift has a comfortable interior for up to four people. Five people may be able to fit for a short distance without being cramped. There's also adequate boot space to hold a few bags.

Is there a hybrid version of the Suzuki Swift?

The sole powertrain option on newer Swift models is a self-charging mild hybrid petrol engine. It produces 81bhp and has a rating of 59.7mpg, showcasing its efficient design.

Is the Suzuki Swift available as an automatic?

Newer Swift models have one mild-hybrid powertrain that can be equipped with a CVT. The base model comes standard with a 5-speed manual.

Is there a four-wheel drive Swift available?

The sole hybrid powertrain of the newer Suzuki Swift models can be paired with either two- or four-wheel drive. Look for models badged as ALLGRIP.

Different generations of used Suzuki Swift

The Swift first appeared in the UK in 2000 (which was the official second generation). Now, it is in its fifth generation, Suzuki has made significant design changes after every new release, with the model proving popular thanks to great looks and affordable running costs.

Fifth Generation (2024 to Present)

Suzuki worked hard to ensure that the Swift was up to today's standards with the newest generation. While the hatchback remains undoubtedly a Swift in terms of its shape, it is more modern-looking than before.

Suzuki also added more technology inside the cabin to give it a premium feel. Hybrid technology is included with the powertrain, making it efficient and cost-effective to run.

At the same time, new safety technology was added, providing occupants with further protection. The new powertrains also brought emissions down and fuel economy up.

The newer models were sportier, adding to the vehicle's personality. The Swift Sport models were also released, giving the lineup a fresh new appeal.
