Had a couple of test drives now pleasant car to drive only issue I had was trying to engage cruise at an indicated 73-74 it wouldn't play is that a calibration issue or how the systems set?
scratchy plastic = easy to clean from dust , especially the dash board . my biggest issue with this car is that it has no armrest ! the Japanese version got arm rest and wireless charger and 360 camera.
Early indications were that there wouldn’t be one… I’m pleased to say that it’s now looking likely there will be. More news expected this time next month
It is a problem that affects a lot of cars since the move to water based paints! I had a lot of issues with the paint on a Honda. However I have not had that much problem with my two Suziki's and nor has my wife and she is on her 3rd!
@daverundle919 Thanks for making me aware of the move to water based paints, I didn't know that. Good to hear you and your wife love Suzuki, I do too. I've just changed my standard Swift for the Swift Sport and had a protective vinyl wrap put on the bonnet, as this area is particularly prone to stone chips. My wife had a Jimny years ago, which was quirky and fun to drive and great when it snowed as it had the option of putting into 4 wheel drive. Like the Suzuki advert say, 'Suzuki, good different.
@@Ayeright.no probs! I had awful probs with my Honda Civic sport! I counted 32 stone chips after less than 3 months and was told it was my fault for buying a black car!😳 As for Suzuki yes we love them, you get so much car for not stupid money! The Swift Sport is a lovely car and that sounds like a good idea! Enjoy your car!
Worth a look though a heated wheel is high on our wish list and the speed sign recognition could do with a simple silence button to make getting moving simple, motion wheels are ugly as bin lids, lots going for it otherwise.
The heated wheel is something we struggle to find on any car at this price point. Also agree on the Motion wheels, hence why for £550, we can upgrade the alloys to the Ultra’s which set the car off much better
@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, you see them on high spec Picanto and I10 which were cars we considered prior to buying a Swift also Corsa it would be a nice option. On the wheels the old Swift SZL wheels are more attractive. Perhaps a basic spec car could be made available to compete with other brands claiming to be better value but less well equipped with options the customer values particularily available.
I would be interested in what this might cost without the extravagant tech. I guess that's not what the market wants. Just think £18K is a lot for a small car.
I have the previous model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks lie a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model last week can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model,and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine.
The 1.0 Boosterjet engine is a phenomenal engine, however to make the gains Suzuki have on efficiency, outright acceleration is compromised ever so slightly. That said, I didn’t find the Swift a slouch and for most, reducing fuel bills is preferable over slightly more spirited acceleration
Can a central armrest be added….?
How much is a road test?

Can you put the red and blue cars side by side outside just want to see the colours.
Not sure about the front end looks, would need to see one in the metal. The big question is: where is the sport model? Is there going to be one?
Early indications were that there wouldn’t be one… I’m pleased to say that it’s now looking likely there will be. More news expected this time next month
@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds That would please lots of customers considered the sport but having a broad back seat comfort was problematic.
NO
Can you get a spare tyre with the Swift? Good that it has a real handbrake!
Yes, it will be added to the official accessories list very shortly. There is space under the boot floor
Auto bardzo ładne i takie nowoczesne.Pełna inteligencja.
Great little car. Their only issue is the paint suffers badly from stone chipping. I hope Suzuki addresses this issue.

where is the foglamps?
Apparently they don't think they needed. Would look better with them.
Still no centre arm rest
the Japanese version has it and many more.. maybe its worth to import it by yourself.

Some of the most costly tech is mandated by EU rules so we are stuck with it and couldn't be deleted to provide a basic trim
Come on, Suzuki .. import the Fronx into the UK.
How does the name sit with you? 🤔
Obviously no spare wheel but what does it come with. I’m hearing reports of just a Towing Eye.
