Suzuki Swift

If you're looking for a car that fits your lifestyle, the Suzuki Swift is for you. It only takes a second to appreciate its sporty styling, designed to truly stand out. It's elegant, yet bold enough to give it all the appeal you're looking for.

The Swift not only looks like a truly unique car, it drives like one too. With its dynamic styling and built-in fun at every level, it's truly a special car.

Two engines, the naturally aspirated 1.2-litre Dualjet four-cylinder petrol and the much more charismatic 1.0-litre Boosterjet three-cylinder do the heavy lifting and both can be mated to the Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS) system; this doesn't add anything in terms of torque or performance, but it does slightly reduce emissions and give a small boost to combined economy.

The ride is comfortable and there's little to report in terms of wind, engine or tyre noise when cruising. We wouldn't say the 1.0 is a blast to drive, or something that should be on anyone's bucket list, but as a truly cultured and attractive supermini, this mild-hybrid from Suzuki is a little gem that ranks among the best in its class.
