Suzuki is a sympathetic brand that never does crazy things. With a new Suzuki Swift – for sale as a hybrid with automatic and manual transmission – you always recognize the predecessor. That is the case again now. But if you look closer, you will see numerous small, thoughtful innovations. Under the skin is the new one Suzuki Swift much remained the same. The car is built on the Heartect platform, just like the current model. This platform has been adapted so that modern safety features such as an automatic emergency braking system and high beam assistant can be provided. Fatigue recognition will also be available on the new Swift, as will adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assistant. And then the dimensions. These are almost the same as the old Swift: it is 3.86 meters long and that is an increase of 1.5 centimeters. The luggage compartment remained unchanged with a capacity of 265 liters. It’s the little things that matter, because with the rear seat folded down you get an additional 10 liters. The Swift now fits a total of 589 liters of luggage. Suzuki has compassion for its aging clientele, because the sill of the Suzuki Swift is lower and the opening of the trunk is wider. Suzuki Swift based on its predecessor The external similarities with the current Swift, which has been on sale since 2017, are clearly visible. The Swift seems to have become a bit rounder and curvier, with wider hips around the C-pillars. The grille is black like your first cup of coffee of the day. If you look closer, you will see different details. For example, the door handles of the rear doors have been returned to their traditional position. They are still ‘hidden’ in the current Swift. At the rear we see a wide bumper and LED taillights. Dashboard with regular buttons Suzuki is not participating in the interior trends of 2024: no screaming colors and enormous screens, but just a familiar dashboard with real buttons and many black and gray tones. We’re already looking forward to not having to scroll through 300 menus for something as simple as adjusting the side mirrors. Here too, Suzuki pays attention to the details, because the glove compartment is now larger. Not that the Swift is behind modern facts, because it simply has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition and Bluetooth. As Suzuki also promises that the Swift is much quieter than before: the buyers have stocked up on extra insulation material and the doors and tailgate were improved rubbers installed.
