- 2024 Suzuki Swift First Drive: New Supermini King?
Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession and welcome to the new, 2024 Suzuki Swift. I recently attended the SMMT Test Day and I was able to get behind the wheel of the new Swift for a short amount of time to see if it could well be the next supermini king.
The new 2024 Suzuki Swift still has a 1.2 litre petrol engine, but it now offers three cylinders instead of four used in the outgoing car. Helped with a mild hybrid system, it offers 82hp along with 112Nm of torque.
The power is fed to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual, although a CVT can be selected if desired, and later this year there will be the option for the Allgrip AWD setup, but that will only be available with the Ultra trim level and the 5-speed manual.
0-62 takes 12.5 seconds if you go for the manual and 11.9 seconds if you go for the CVT. You're more likely to be interested in fuel economy, though, the new Swift can offer up to 64.2mpg on a combined run with CO2 emissions as low 99g/km.
The lineup for the new Suzuki Swift is incredibly simple as there are just two trim levels; Motion, which starts from £18,699 and Ultra, which starts from £19,799.
The motion trim level could well be everything you’ll need as it offers a lot as standard. Features include 16” alloys, LED headlights, air conditioning, 9” touchscreen, navigation, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, keyless entry and start, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
On top of this, there’s also a strong host of safety systems including adaptive cruise control, driver monitoring, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and weaving alert, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition.
The Ultra adds features 16” polished alloys, automatic air conditioning, electric door mirrors and rear passenger heater outlet.

Hi. I’ve been a very satisfied Swift RS version for three years. My wife uses the automatic and I always use the manual transmission, the RS offers both gear . Very quick indeed. And a great joy when driving on mountainous roads with manual. In Japan , you have the ubiquitous yellow Sport version. And recently, a hybrid version.
I enjoy every moment behind the wheel . If you look for an inexpensive quick car , it’s definitely one of the best choices.
With a full tank I easily reach 500 km. Especially, on Highway, it’s not thirsty at all.
I went on a camping trip , fold down the rear seats , transformed the rear area into a small “ bed”. I love hatchbacks. And like you, I m not a fun of automatic nor EVs.
Best regards from muggy Japan

Hiya Richard, as always, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Amazing video! Thanks for uploading.
Thank you!
Good afternoon guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to my first drive of the new 2024 Suzuki Swift.
Please do the fuel test drive and see how far you can get on a full tank. 500 miles?
Good video as always I like the trim levels, just hoping they do a Sport version as well... ( I have the 2019 sport) be interested to see the fuel economy on a long run :)
Thanks Tom, I hope there's a Sport version as well!
@@CarObsession No Sport version.

Suzuki Ecuador needs vehicles with stronger engines, like the K12C or even more powerful options. This is because Ecuador's high altitude, averaging 2750 meters, affects engine performance.
Is it better than the new Hyundai i10 to drive and comfort, I was very disappointed to see the i10 get a dont buy in the which magazine.
Mmm I'd have to drive back to back to give you a definitive answer, sorry. Mind you, you'd be better off comparing an i20 to a Swift as opposed to the i10. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
Hi...
May I know the kerb weight of the new Swift 2024 in your country ???
In India it is 920 Kgs. I feel it is very lighter than my Punto.
Please reply
Hello, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. In the UK the weight varies on equipment level, but the kerb weight ranges from 949kg to 1,037kg. Hope this helps.
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 like 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 a few weeks ago I 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.
They have got rid of the concealed back door handles (to make it look like a sports 3-door car) and replaced them with ordinary ones. Can't see how that is an improvement A larger infotainment screen is a positive though. Not sure about the two-tone interior.
Hi there, thanks for watching. It's your opinion of course, but I disagree that it looks almost identical on both the inside and outside.
Maybe there was a issue with concealed door handles? Or perhaps it was cheaper just to make the car with conventional door handles. Thanks for watching.
@@CarObsession As I said I love my Swift but the new one is just so slow compared to The Boosterjet Engine, it's like having your mobile phone now replaced with the one you had about 6 years ago imagine going back to that. The loss of performance in new Swift is the just awful. Great vid and thanks for posting it.
Why has Suzuki pushed its prices up so much and why make the Swift front end look like a lavatory seat. I agree with your comments on the latter Aaron. I suspect you might not agree with me. I dont look at £200 pm, but the whole cost, whole life cost. I think Suzuki are missing a trick.
And, why, oh why, the Austin Allegro (F1) style steering wheel on what is essentially a city car that requires a lot of manoeuvring? Worse on the superb new Dacia Duster - that has an almost square steering wheel iirc. The world has gone radio rental - felt tip fairies rule supreme?!
The issue is that ALL car prices have gone up, you need a small fortune to buy a new car nowadays. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
@@CarObsession I agree mate, kinda what I was getting at. Less than ten years ago, if one did the research, a SZ4 Swift, with some dealer extras could be purchased new for under £10k. We are now under WEF and CCP rule 'youll own nothing and be happy'. Time to push back. I really don't like most new/modern cars now - and don't get me started on the devil's mineral, lithium (batteries). Great review by you guys though, light weight, fun to drive cars are a rarity, glad to hear Suzuki has not lost the plot completely ✌️💜😊
