A beloved choice among global consumers seeking a stylish and enjoyable driving experience, the Swift has garnered numerous awards since its global debut in 2004.

The all-new model builds upon the success of its predecessors, offering not only an enjoyable driving experience but also prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and safety.

As of October 2023, the Swift has been sold in 169 countries and regions, with total sales surpassing 9 million units.

Key features of new Swift

Dramatic redesign

The new Swift showcases a bold exterior and interior redesign, maintaining its signature elements while introducing a fresh look beyond previous models.

Confidence and adventure define the new Swift’s exterior, featuring a piano-black grille, L-shaped signature lamps, rounded shoulder lines, flared fenders, and a floating roof design with integrated rear hatch spoiler.

The three-dimensional rear combination lamps and wide rear bumper contribute to its stable yet playful appearance on the road.

Vibrant colour options

The new Swift offers a palette of eight single-tone and four dual-tone colours, including the eye-catching Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic and Cool Yellow Metallic.

These colour options, particularly Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic, showcase Suzuki’s commitment to vibrant, high-quality paint.

Interior design revolution

The cabin of the new Swift provides a spacious and comfortable driving environment with ergonomic features including heated front seats.

A sporty, dynamic look is achieved through the wraparound dual-tone black and light-grey dashboard, satin plating, and satin dark silver paint accents.

9-inch display audio

The HD capacitive touchscreen offers a quick and accurate response, supporting smartphone linkage for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Voice recognition, Bluetooth® music playback, and vehicle status information are seamlessly integrated.

New hybrid engine

The new Swift incorporates a 1.2-litre petrol 3-cylinder engine that boasts comprehensive enhancements, resulting in a harmonious blend of improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, along with increased low-speed torque to enhance responsiveness and overall performance.

The new engine is coupled with a mild hybrid system, contributing to an even more environmentally friendly performance. This hybrid system captures kinetic energy produced during deceleration which supports the engine during acceleration, promoting higher fuel efficiency.

Advanced safety features

  • Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II) employs radar and a monocular camera to detect potential collisions, issuing warnings and automatically engaging brake assist if needed.
  • Lane Keep Assist (LKA) helps maintain the vehicle’s position in the centre of the lane.
  • Driver Monitoring System (DMS) alerts the driver if signs of drowsiness or distraction are detected.
  • Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and eCall contribute to the overall safety package.

ALLGRIP Auto

The automatic four-wheel-drive system engages when front wheel traction is lost, providing additional traction on slippery surfaces.

Suzuki Connect

Utilizing the vehicle’s data communication module (DCM), Suzuki Connect connects users to their vehicles in real time, offering convenient functions via a smartphone app and the 9-inch display audio screen inside the new Swift.

The upcoming Swift is set to be available for purchase in the UK in Spring 2024, with additional details on technical specifications and standard equipment to be revealed in the coming months.

Suzuki launches full hybrid version of popular Vitara

March 12, 2022

The Suzuki Vitara is now available with full hybrid technology that helps lower CO2 emissions and improves fuel consumption even further than the current mild hybrid with automatic transmission.

Full hybrid technology

The system consists of a 140V lithium-ion battery and inverter, Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 12V lithium-ion battery and a conventional 12V lead-acid battery to power components requiring lower voltage such as lights, instruments, heating and air-conditioning.

Selectable hybrid modes

The new hybrid system has two switchable modes – Eco and Standard – which enables the driver to change between the two modes depending on conditions and increases the frequency of EV driving.

MGU

The MGU acts as a generator and starter motor and assists the petrol engine during vehicle take off. The high-performance lithium-ion battery stores electrical energy recovered from deceleration and braking and incorporates an idle stop function operated via the integrated starter generator. Based on engine speed and throttle position, the engine ECU judges when the driver will accelerate then uses the electric motor to add additional torque.

The hybrid system collects kinetic energy and generates electricity by stopping the engine and disengaging the clutch during deceleration, which increases the EV driving range. As a full hybrid, the Vitara can run solely on its electric motor for short distances.

Transmission

The Vitara full hybrid comes equipped with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) that automatically shifts the manual transmission and gear ratios to help provide a good combination of performance and fuel economy. AGS enables the driver to enjoy both the direct driving experience of a manual gearbox and the shifting ease of an automatic transmission. The transmission also has a manual mode with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.

One notable feature of the latest hybrid system with AGS is the position of the MGU on the output side of the transmission assembly. As a result, power from the MGU is directly transmitted to the driveshafts to fill the torque gap during shifting and provides a smoother transition from the transmission.

CO2 emissions

Thanks to full hybrid technology, high tensile steel and other weight-saving measures in the body, Vitara’s CO2 emissions are low (121g/km) with an impressive combined fuel economy of 53mpg.

ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive

Suzuki’s ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive system is available as an option on the SZ5 model and incorporates four selectable drive modes – Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock – for safe, enjoyable driving on diverse surfaces.

Specification highlights

Standard equipment is comprehensive with the entry-level SZ-T model featuring: auto air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, keyless entry and start, 17″ silver alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, rear parking camera and satellite navigation. Moving up to the top-spec SZ5 adds 17″ polished alloy wheels, suede seat upholstery, panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors and the availability of ALLGRIP 4WD as an option.

A high level of safety specification comes as standard including, LED multi-reflector headlamps with low and high beam, dual sensor brake support (automated emergency braking), blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control and seven airbags.
