Since there was a question regarding this, let me clarify: - The base Swift does not have all the options shown here. The Swift Sport is basically the top trim variant and does include most of the stuff shown here. - The 1.4 Turbo petrol engine does not have a particle filter but still complies with the new Euro 6d temp emissions norm.
Thank you for clarifying , thumbs up :) Strictly speaking the Sport does include all of the stuff shown, only options are different colours (yellow is free). I will stop nagging now ;)
Great review and very accurate conclusion. You are the only reviewer to mention the great feeling of control and extra feeling of space provided by the swift's fantastic upright and curved windscreen, a unique feature it shares with only the mini. It makes a huge difference in the fun to drive factor and one of the main reasons why i bought a swift. I really hate those claustrophobic sharply slanting windscreens that make you feel caged as you mentioned. Cheers!
We have the ordinary 1200cc 2012 Swift, and its Awesome....nicest affordable small car from Japan IMO, that feels larger than it is to drive....tons of stoke, runs on the smell of an oily rag.
My Suzuki shop loaned me this car while my Wagon R Stingray is getting fixed here in Japan. So much torque in this little car. I can feel the G's when I accelerate. I am thinking about buying one. Wow!
Just discovered this YT channel, really like the reviews so far. I like Thomas calm way of explanation and no loud music. Really looking forward for more
The suspension is a sports suspension, so it needs to be able to corner well at high speeds, and it does this admirably, but it also has to be relatively comfortable in the suburbs. Somehow Suzuki have come up with a good compromise. The 17" wheels with low profile tyres, probably make the suspension a little unforgiving on bad roads, but all other Reviewers have remarked that it soaks up the bumps quite well. And it's UK reviews pre-release reviews were in Ireland on rather bad country roads. I have the 6 speed automatic with paddle shifters, which are very quicker to respond. The automatic transmission is a normal torque converter type, not a horrible CVT or dual clutch, which is unsuitable for inch to inch traffic jam situations, due to the clutches being unable to engage. Gear changes are very fast and smooth. You can use the paddle shifter at any time to change gear, and the transmission will return to automatic after 60 seconds. Or you can select "manual" and hold a gear as long as you wish. This car can beat anything when the traffic lights turn green. Here in Australia the car with comes with every modern safety feature known to the motor industry, except blind spot monitoring, which is not needed for such a short car. The car does not seem in any way light in my opinion, it feels very solid, even when the doors are shut, there is a nice solid "thunk" sound. The steering is also not as light as I imagined. Inside the car, there is no feeling of this being a small car, and I say this coming from my previous Nissan Pulsar. It feels pretty much on par. The view through the rear window is about the best and most expansive of any car. Standing at the back of the car, it appears to have a quite wide stance. Do not imagine this to be the diminutive size of previous Swifts, it is a lot bigger. In the late 90's I had a Swift GTI, and even it did not small inside. But whereas Swifts were rather raw and basic, now they are surprisingly mature and sophisticated.. The Swift Sport has the maximum 5 star Ancap (Australian) safety rating.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I understand this comes from a real experience. I wish they sell this new model in my country so I can upgrade. I really would want to skip the outgoing only available GLX 1.2 model instead of my 2013 SSS, which in the same Champion yellow color. The car is very obedient and its very reliable for its segment and does perform very well so long as you keep it fresh and neat. Must've been a blast coming for a Nissan Pulsar I would say. Always admired that one.
Autogefühl, the Swift Sport and Thomas... yes👏👏 seeing this video in your notifications is like finding money in your pocket, it's a really nice surprise 👌 I've been waiting for this one!
I have the 2007, in the future i hope buy it🙏 its a fantastic mini bomb car People! Power doesnt matter, you can have fun with this and more! God bless japanese.
KÖNIG SCHUMACHER i just sold my 2007swift for a bigger boot space, but, i must say, my swift has given me one of the most satisfying driving experience for the last 11 yrs. It was still fun to drive until the day i let it go.. I bet the new 2019 edition would give even more satisfying experience
OMG swift 2007, my first car, I have it like 8 years and never show a problem, never. Sometimes I miss him, it was a really good car. GL with the buy of the sport.
Such a characterful looking car. Suzuki done a great job with the styling of the exterior and well executed interior. Dash/cabin, tech/equipment level and space very appropriate. For a small car it's got a fantastic kick to it ( 13:50 ) Reminds me of another very fun and capable car you road tested some months back - 2019 Ford Fiesta ST. Hope you get to also review upcoming 2019 Jimny. Another best review Thomas!
Gracias por un gran review Thomas. Afortunadamente en 🇲🇽 es un vehículo muy económico y viene con el mismo equipamiento. Please continue with the good job Autogefühl
Excellent driving part - with Tyre Squeak! Classic sporty suspension set-up not really forgiving! Ride too rough. Interesting philosophical comments about those "maybe wanting to feel young again!" 27:12 yes, first customer vehicle versus press cars! Very many thanks for a great Review Thomas, and all the factual well presented info for driving enthusiasts, as always.
We love our Suzuki Swift. Great car, fun car, reliable. Not too expensive. We find the ride not too bad, but ours is not a Sport. Love the video, Autogefuhl. Please keep videos coming. Can you do video of New Jimny when it arrives, Thomas? Good wishes.
Best mix of acceleration / sportiness and fuel economy out of pretty much all cars. Also Suzuki is underrating their official acceleration numbers, in reality they are faster. In most tests the Swift Sport 0-100 time was around 7,5 sec (with automatic even down to 7.0) and 80-120 in around 5 sec.
@@tansh2488 idk what you drove but I doubt it was a swift... and if it was, it was broken. I know several peopls with swifts and have also driven my friend's SSS and it has very good fuel economy.
I love the new suzuki swift. I have the mirage hatchback in black and I'm thinking of upgrading to swift after 2 years. Lol. I still have 2 years to pay it off before I can call my mirage "mine". After that then I guess I can trade it to a red swift. 😍😍😍
Very professional presentation! I like this review of a japanese small car, not only for its informative value, but especially because it proves autogefuehl goes way beyond German quality cars and delivers objective reviews of all cars. In view of changing taxation rules and care for the environment, reviews of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars will be more than welcome!
I am in love this little car. This is a totally Nürburgring weekend fun car. I want so badly right now. You should probably try this car on Nürburgring Thomas!
I have the new swift, but it's the entry-level with 90 HP. However, I am certainly not unsatisfied with it, I actually think it'll be more rewarding with fewer HP, because the lower trim version is incredibly fun to drive. It's so stable in corners, and you can really push the engine to its max. I absolutely adore this vehicle. Even though it's the entry-level version, it's so fun. I even had the adaptive cruise control fitted to mine and it's just one of the best cruise controls I've tried. Then again, it doesn't really hurt that it's also adaptive. There's so much space in this compared to other cars in the samme class and price tag. It's beautiful, it looks far more expensive than it really is. The only thing I really could point out as an area for improvement are the doors. They just feel way too unsafe and thin. But it still is a very cheap car, compromises have to be made.
There are only 7 differences between the standard Swift interior and the Sport interior: sports seats, aluminium pedals, different trimmed steering wheel, different colour dash and door panels, red tachometer and extra coloured trim around the gear lever and console. It also comes with a Lane Keep Assist button on the steering wheel. Only the Sport gets this tech in the UK.
I have a new Swift 1.0ltr Turbo and it's brilliant. The Sport wasn't out when I ordered mine unfortunately. However, I can have mine remapped to the same power outputs as the 140BHP Sport model.
Could it also be with its incredibly low redline and modest engine power, it will live on for many decades? A driver might mistake it for a diesel when looking at the rev counter red line.
Thomas, I am grateful for your insightful comments during test drives of some smaller cars ( labelled as "City cars" by some ) which potentially interest me ... in so far as I might buy one as a 'second car' for local use. I am reluctant to sell my Suzuki Swift Sport, which I bought in 2010. It is a superb car; nothing has ever gone wrong in 19,000 miles. And, with safe regard for others, it's a joy to drive to its ability ... I get where I want to be quickly and safely, with a grin ! It seems the 2018 version you have test driven is a worthy successor. My dilemma will be to EITHER replace the Swift Sport with the new edition OR keep the one I already own and preserve it from short mileage town use by acquiring a small stablemate ! That's something I need to figure out. Apart from that, I'd like to say how much I appreciate your helpful and obviously honest opinions expressed in your video reviews. You do them very well indeed. Best regards from Nottingham.
This car pressures me as it is unavailable in thailand or U.S. I must find a way to sample a right hand drive auto and a left hand drive manual. EXCELLENT review.
Thomas, great review as usual. When u refer to mpg are you using u.s. gallons or imperial (british) gallons? One imperial gallon, for example, is about 1.2 u.s. gallons. It makes a big difference when calculating fuel use
The best car reviews on youtube. Thomas I need your advice. Would you rather buy Suzuki Swift Sport Hybrid or Mazda 2 Homura e skyactive with 90HP? Both are new cars and are for everyday use?
tough question, i guess the Homura models at Mazdas are always with animal skin, arent they? Is that the Mazda2 hybrid which is essentially the Toyota Yaris or the Mazda2 which is the original Mazda? Both exist
@@autogefuehl I am talking about original Mazda 2, not the rebadged Yaris. Homura is one of the higher specs in this Mazda and is more sporty. This Suzuki Sport and that Mazda 2 have almost same equipment, and are probably one of the last small city cars with 4 cilinders. Mazda 2 has naturally aspirated engine 1.5L while Suzuki is 1.4L turbo petrol. Factory claims this Suzuki goes 0-100 in 9.1 this hybrid version and this Mazda 2 manual transmision 0-100 in 9.8sec. Suzuki is probably better in performance, but what about everyday ride quality? I terior quality? Reliability? Thanks for your response
You make so many remarks about optional this and optional that but in a Swift Sport almost *nothing* is optional, the only thing you can spec differently when buying it new is the colour. At least that's how it is in Sweden, maybe Germany is different ? I looked at buying a small "sporty" car new and i looked at every car manufacturer and the new Swift Sport is the most value for money of all makes. No one else has the same horsepower, equipment and functions for the same money. I bought a blue swift sport nein days ago with a Remus sport exhaust, JR22 rims and full Suzuki MotoGP striping and i god damn love it. You can really throw it around corners and it just runs like a train on rails no matter how hard you push it. Or at least that is the feeling it gives you. And the brakes are really good too, very reassuring bite when you press the brake pedal :)
Oh and i forgot to mention that the Swift Sport can easily make 165HP with just a software tune and even more if you swap out the intake and exhaust system. The highest ready-to-go *bolt on* performance figure i've seen is ~230HP with nothing but bolt on parts and a tune. That does involve changing the turbo and that is one expensive part, around 1800-2100 euros. Here is one of many complete packages ready to just bolt on to get 200+ HP: www.ctc-performance.co.uk/store/ctc-performance-stage-4-200ps-310nm/
Ja, dieser (hervorragende) Test war Anlass genug, den Swift Sport probezufahren. Vier Tage nach dem Test habe ich den Kaufvertrag unterschrieben. Allerdings nicht in quietsch-gelb sondern in sattem schwarz. :-)
I had a 2008 Sport. Now a 2013 Sport, the true fuel economy (after doing the maths) over a full tank of fuel is about 16% worse than the displayed Average Economy. Is this true of all Cars? I still want the latest model! Cheers Phil from Down Under W.A.
Excellent review. Non biased just from your own viewpoint. Regarding the rough suspension, it's a sport model like a Fiesta ST, which also has more firm suspension. Both of the cars are among the best steering vehicles in its class. If the 1.4 Boosterjet engine has dual fuel injection (port + direct), the particle filter can be omitted to fulfill the euro 6D temp norm.
Brilliant review as always👍 I love the Swift sport old 1.6 and the 1.4 but I went for the Up gti as it’s 4K cheaper and more fun to drive despite less power.
All equipment is already included, not optinal, why call it optional? Edit: Around the 23 minute mark you even talk about the topic of equipment and again not a word on everything being included in the Swift Sport.
Hi Thomas, have you done a review of the Audi RS5? They seem to be a nice car but is it better than my C43? Regards, Gary - Australia Love your reviews.
I like the concept but the design is to soft. But it have real dual exhaust! For such a cheap car. Lot of expensive cars have fake ones... Good job again Thomas and team! 5:37 km distance by the way :) Another note: If you driving in the sun you better can use a polarized filter on your cam. Especially the one on the left side window.
I have the same problem with my dashcam. The dashboard is shining on the windscreen if it's sunny. Still looking for a pl filter. Thats why it was taking my attention in this video. You can made a filter by yourself maybe. It will be a lot better for your viewers. Especially on roads with a lot of trees. It makes me crazy ^^
Real crappy exhausts don't be fooled by tail pipes standard exhausts are shit no matter how much you spend. Id rip a brand new one off a Porsche fit aftermarket then go laugh at all the chumps who got robbed for the sport exhaust upgrade which is another restrictive piece of crap with a dumb valve init. Who wants to carry that shit on their lightweight. It's not even stainless so be in the scrap bin like the 2grand they charge for it. Rolex need to start making cars they'd have good clocks in em wunt thy 🤣
Hi Thomas, interesting review, like always, right! :) Zusuki designers look succeeding in giving this car a promicing beautiful shape that is related somehow, as I feel, to motorcycles world, I really can't express more, but I can say that this is a very cool shape really! Congrats Suzuki! :)))
Great review as always, Thomas! I have a question, do you think that the swift sport will come with the automatic transmission in Europe, or do you have any info about this matter? Thank you!
Since there was a question regarding this, let me clarify:
- The base Swift does not have all the options shown here. The Swift Sport is basically the top trim variant and does include most of the stuff shown here.
- The 1.4 Turbo petrol engine does not have a particle filter but still complies with the new Euro 6d temp emissions norm.
Sir please do the lada vesta review
Thank you for clarifying , thumbs up :)
Strictly speaking the Sport does include all of the stuff shown, only options are different colours (yellow is free). I will stop nagging now ;)
1.4L at 140ps
Normal driving is 10.3km/l
Hard driving is 7.9km/l
Track driving is 5km/l
This car sucks petrol at alarming rate
SH Tan How fast do you drive? City or Highway? It should get 16kmpl on highway at 120km/h/
SH Tan is just a troll
Test drived it, fell in love with it bought it. Loving it even more

The new Swifts are too cute. They're better Minis than what Mini actually makes now.

Oh and i forgot to mention that the Swift Sport can easily make 165HP with just a software tune and even more if you swap out the intake and exhaust system. The highest ready-to-go *bolt on* performance figure i've seen is ~230HP with nothing but bolt on parts and a tune. That does involve changing the turbo and that is one expensive part, around 1800-2100 euros.
Here is one of many complete packages ready to just bolt on to get 200+ HP: www.ctc-performance.co.uk/store/ctc-performance-stage-4-200ps-310nm/
Cool enjoy 😊
I have never driven one of these but it looks a lot of fun in a go-kart sort of way!
Ja, dieser (hervorragende) Test war Anlass genug, den Swift Sport probezufahren.
Vier Tage nach dem Test habe ich den Kaufvertrag unterschrieben.
Allerdings nicht in quietsch-gelb sondern in sattem schwarz. :-)
Viel Spaß damit:)
They should keep making small sporty hatchback..nice car!
Thomas please do a review of the subaru brz/Toyota gt86
If this new, hot as hell Swift had an electric or parallel hybrid version (seen in the Note e-power) this would be only mind blowing.
Its a really cool little car i like the front and back views but the side view is kinda wrong in my opinion, not a fan of the floating roof design.
Great Cars ! The Suzuki Swift - They Can 'Swift' That's For Sure !
I had a 2008 Sport. Now a 2013 Sport, the true fuel economy (after doing the maths) over a full tank of fuel is about 16% worse than the displayed Average Economy. Is this true of all Cars? I still want the latest model! Cheers Phil from Down Under W.A.
Good review, but would have been nice - since you are in germany - to try a max speed / max acceleration with it :)
Hey Autogefühl it would be perfect to see New Jimny soon on your channel. Its a damn good little offroader. :)
we ll try !
The 1.0 turbo also provides great enjoyment for less money. The engine sounds sportier than the 1.4 turbo.
Small cute yellow car... I like Swift!
Excellent review. Non biased just from your own viewpoint. Regarding the rough suspension, it's a sport model like a Fiesta ST, which also has more firm suspension. Both of the cars are among the best steering vehicles in its class. If the 1.4 Boosterjet engine has dual fuel injection (port + direct), the particle filter can be omitted to fulfill the euro 6D temp norm.
Thanks! Yes see pinned comment:)
Unfortunately it is only direct unjection afaik
Its always full screen with Thomas yeaaaa
Luved it😍
Finally SSS 2018 review with steering wheel on the right... I mean left side. Very good review unlike others.
thanks, feel free to recommend :)
Brilliant review as always👍 I love the Swift sport old 1.6 and the 1.4 but I went for the Up gti as it’s 4K cheaper and more fun to drive despite less power.
Cool!
All equipment is already included, not optinal, why call it optional?
Edit: Around the 23 minute mark you even talk about the topic of equipment and again not a word on everything being included in the Swift Sport.
So basically every Suzuki swift sport has everything possible included, right?
Hi Thomas, have you done a review of the Audi RS5? They seem to be a nice car but is it better than my C43?
Regards,
Gary - Australia
Love your reviews.
hey Gary, not yet m8 but i ll see what i can do :)
It has a pleasing car design and will likely do very well in Asia, etc.
I like the concept but the design is to soft. But it have real dual exhaust! For such a cheap car. Lot of expensive cars have fake ones... Good job again Thomas and team! 5:37 km distance by the way :) Another note: If you driving in the sun you better can use a polarized filter on your cam. Especially the one on the left side window.
I dont think its possible to install a filter on that actioncam, would be cool if
I have the same problem with my dashcam. The dashboard is shining on the windscreen if it's sunny. Still looking for a pl filter. Thats why it was taking my attention in this video. You can made a filter by yourself maybe. It will be a lot better for your viewers. Especially on roads with a lot of trees. It makes me crazy ^^
Real crappy exhausts don't be fooled by tail pipes standard exhausts are shit no matter how much you spend. Id rip a brand new one off a Porsche fit aftermarket then go laugh at all the chumps who got robbed for the sport exhaust upgrade which is another restrictive piece of crap with a dumb valve init. Who wants to carry that shit on their lightweight. It's not even stainless so be in the scrap bin like the 2grand they charge for it. Rolex need to start making cars they'd have good clocks in em wunt thy 🤣
nice real nice...how about the new JIMNY...can you do a review?
yeah we ll ask for that!
Hi Thomas, interesting review, like always, right! :) Zusuki designers look succeeding in giving this car a promicing beautiful shape that is related somehow, as I feel, to motorcycles world, I really can't express more, but I can say that this is a very cool shape really! Congrats Suzuki! :)))
Great to have u with us!
Middle age crisis. If you can't afford a Ferrari get yourself the Suzuki Swift Sport! Great car it is.
Great review as always, Thomas! I have a question, do you think that the swift sport will come with the automatic transmission in Europe, or do you have any info about this matter? Thank you!
thanks! no sign of that yet
🙋♂️Mükemmel çok güzel olmuş👍
Lightweigth that s the key to make a car agile.
Almost all Suzukis weight below a ton.
That's because they are tin cans on wheels and will crumble in a crash.
i have a hard time liking the red tachometer since it hides somewhat the red line.
Does the swift sport only come in manual transmission?
When you accelerated 13:50 I thought you were disintegrate!:)) It looks like a Porsche ...... I mean color yellow!
=)
I just wish the seats bolsters were adjustable... I feel fat sitting in one of these even though I'm not (I think😶)
Thomas is the best. Thomas blue new Honda CR-V suits him. Let's see
This is brilliant
Hey Thomas, you should do top speed runs when reviewing performance models....
I will never drive more than 200 on public roads for safety reasons. Top speed is nonsense imho.
You have a 5.6L/100km fuel consumption. How did you managed that? I can also, but with a very sensitive style of driving.
shame they aren't for sale in the USA, tis would be at the top of my list for new cars to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems like a sweet little car, wish it was available here in the US with the new Jimny.
