Suzuki Swift 2024 Accessories

All sixth-gen Swift grades are mild-hybrid powered, and include LED lights, tilt/telescopic steering and important safety tech like AEB, lane-support systems, adaptive cruise control, heated mirrors, traffic sign recognition, rear parking sensors, auto high beams and an alarm.

Other standard items are keyless entry/start, a 9.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system, reverse camera, wireless for Apple CarPlay (but wired Android Auto) and a digital radio. But a spare wheel is now a dealer-fit option.

For a driver’s seat-height adjuster, leather-wrapped steering wheel, alloy wheels, front passenger vanity mirror, front-seat map pockets and USB charging outlets, you’ll need the Hybrid Plus auto grade. This also brings privacy glass, heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Finally, Hybrid GLX auto ups the ante with a wireless phone charger, folding exterior mirrors, paddle shifters, climate control, glossy alloys and more.

Suzuki Swift 2024 Engine

Under the Swift Hybrid’s clamshell bonnet is a 61kW/112Nm 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, mated to an electric motor/starter/generator known as an 'ISG'. It delivers an additional 2.3kW and 60Nm, for a healthy power-to-weight ratio of around 63kW per tonne. The front wheels are driven via a five-speed manual or Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) automatic.

Suzuki Swift 2024 FAQs

Cracked windscreen in my 2023 Suzuki Swift

In modern cars with bonded windscreen, the glass is actually a structural part of the car. Therefore, if the car cops a big enough impact (say, hitting a pothole at speed) it’s conceivable that the stress passing through the whole car could cause a crack in the glass. Stress cracks in windscreens are usually fairly straight and will emanate from the edge of the glass.

The other way to crack a windscreen is to subject it to extremes of temperature. Pouring boiling water over an icy windscreen on a cold morning is a great way to crack the glass, but high interior temperatures in hot weather can also cause cracking in extreme cases.

Suzuki, like just about every other car-maker has a list of things that aren’t covered by warranty, including batteries, tyre, brakes pads and, as you’ve discovered, glass.

Cracking sound and smoke puffing from my 2016 Suzuki Swift

You could be looking at any number of causes for this, and some of them herald the demise of your engine. Get a mechanic to check the car out. They will probably do a compression test, a leak-down test and have a close listen to the engine both at idle and under load.

If the cracking sound is a backfire or misfire, you may have an ignition problem. But the smoke is a bit more involved as it depends on the colour of the smoke. Black smoke suggests poor fuelling, but blue or grey smoke often means internal engine wear.

The engine in our 2014 Suzuki Swift cuts out

It is indeed a dangerous situation, especially if you’re trying to pull into fast-moving traffic when the engine suddenly cuts out. Frankly, there are literally hundreds of causes for this, so the best advice is to go back to basics and try to find anything wrong with the fuel or ignition system. An electronic scan of the car (if it hasn‘t already been done) is a good idea, too, as it might pin-point the problem area.

You could be looking at something as simple as a poor earth connection or a blocked fuel filter. That the car runs properly in the meantime, suggests that it’s an intermittent fuel or electrical problem rather than an inherent mechanical failure.

Suzuki Swift 2024 Interior

Based on the previous platform, the sixth-gen Suzuki Swift's five-door only body is big and spacious for a supermini, offering lots of room and easy entry/egress. But it’s all change as far as cabin presentation is concerned, with a sweeping new dashboard that looks and feels more upmarket than before. A comparatively large and versatile cargo area tops off a well-designed interior.

Suzuki Swift 2024 Boot Space

The Swift Hybrid’s boot capacity is 265 litres with all seats up to the bottom of the parcel shelf. Dropping the split-fold rear seatbacks sees that expand to 569L.

Suzuki Swift 2024 Speed

The Suzuki Swift Hybrid can sprint from standstill to 100km/h (0-100km/h) in 11.9 seconds for the manual and 12.5s as an auto, on the way to a top speed of about 160km/h and 170km/h respectively.

Suzuki Swift 2024 Range

The Swift Hybrid averages 3.8L/100km on the combined cycle in manual form, or 4.0L/100km with the CVT auto. This translates to 78 and 80 grams per kilometre of carbon dioxide emissions respectively. Note the Swift Hybrid has a taste for more-expensive 95 RON premium unleaded petrol. Fitted with a 37-litre tank, expect a range of about 970km.
