We test drove the updated Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX manual to find out if it lives up to the hype. Liberebil Social Instagram - / liberebil Twitter - / liberebil Facebook - / liberebil
I Own The 2019 GA Version, and If You don’t Have Budget Constraints, Buy Yourself A GLX To fully enjoy it, Though Even a GA Model Is Alot of car for your money As even insurance is cheaper than A Vivo. The Running costs are Really cheap and If you’re buying used, It’s very easy to see a swift that has been in an accident. But Overall, It’s a Nice Car to own, Easy to Love, And Such a Huge enjoyable party to drive. NB: It has small tank(37L) but it literally Gives you back your Fuel sometimes👻.
My parents blessed me with this car about a week ago and I love it! I must just say that it most definitely can get you through moving house! I've been moving all week! With the back seats down anything is possible! Hahaha :)
Yep, I ended up buying the swift over the Toyota Starlet/Suzuki Baleno, Nissan Micra, Ford Figo and the Atos. We mostly travel 30km long roads in Swartland, and going 100km/h at 3.2rpm in 4th gear is bloody impressive. We don't need a big car, and amazingly handles pretty well in forceful winds. Great car for beginner buyers or just needing decent car to get you from point A to B. Really loved the review by the way, very insightful specially the parts focusing on how the car reacts engine/power-demand wise.
Got me a 2021 Japan made new Swift (GL) variant for 14 000 euro . Amazing car - city driving - 5.5l/100km tops ! Open road 5.0l/100km . Such fun, light easy to drive car - takes no afford to drive it fast on a bands - goes 175km/h 4 person inside 😍
@Sechaba Ramphele For me, 2 factors. The boot size and the power-train/engine size. We as a family dont need the extra power, and the boot size did not matter cause we use the car for only driving to school and work. The moment you are going to use the car for more then that, then Starlet would have been our choice.
I bought a 2021 swift Gl red....... Feels better to drive than a picanto.... Looks better as well... Handles closest to first Gen Ford Figo.... Very light on fuel..... The tyres don't grip enough... The Tyre just spin in gear acceleration.... Very exciting to drive..... My Gl has tc and esp 2021....
I understand what you are saying about the car not having headlight safety features such as the option of HID/LED headlights but you get a high spec Kia picanto R240K with projector headlights, which means that irrespective of price, safety should not be compromised. They cannot only make the option of projector headlights only on the sport version.
Currently doing car shopping - and enjoyed test driving a Suzuki Swift. Thanks for your video. Everytime I see the GLX I keep thinking "Let's do it like the Italian job" 😀

the swift is really alot of car for the money i was seriously surprised by it my only complaint on the one i drove was the clutch feedback was not great but otherwise its a joy to drive that engine is not a rocket but its great for what it is the infotainment is decent for its price too other then that its comfortable to drive seats are good i cant really fault the swift its a great car for its price and yes i agree with the humming on the highway also when you take calls the noise comes through the car mic too i can say so much more about this car i fail to see anything else this good in its price range anyway good video

Just had to sell my Suzuki Swift Sport, great little car and great on fuel, needed an automatic which you can't get in the UK so reluctantly had to sell it.
My mom bought one jan 2020 and loves it and does 70km a day in the 1.2 glx loves this car. Even she can't get through the fuel. Is the TDi I up for sale I'm looking a replacement for mine that was stolen
Good video! . A lil suggestion. How about you add more shots/cut scenes (whatever you call it😅) of the things you talk about within the video. E.g. Alex mentioned boot space of 268litres, so a cut scene to the boat opened and showing us. It helps with us visualisation. Otherwise, great video! Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
Yo Siphelele 😁 thanks for the suggestion! We are always trying to put more b-roll in. It's always tough as I usually film these videos alone and time isn't always on our side. But we will push to add more into the next one! Thanks 💪
@@alexferguson6996 I can understand brother! The quality of the work is improving so I can definitely see the hard work. Awesome bro. Look forward to the next one 👌🏾
From my experience of driving one for a few months. Its cheaper to run and more reliable. It's frugal on fuel. And people who own one full time never had a breakdown
I think I met this guy in High school 2013. His name was Alex and he was the friendliest guy to random people when there were inter-school events. Or he just looks like him.
@@shemin9115 A strong a South Easter will push it around a bit but generally it is ok in the wind. You don't hold out for dear life. The Ignis is the one that gets blown around in our strong winds.
I actually watched this video before buying and bought a 2021 swift Gl demo 2 900km R189 000 red...gl 2021 came with traction control and esp... Glx was too expensive for me
They just really suck if you have a baby (most car seats require passenger seat to be fully forward and unusable) and my older swift has a massive turning circle, it's embarrassing at times as people assume you should be able to get in tiny spaces but the turning circle is HUGE, always doing 3 point turns
The ones that come to south Africa 2019 to 2021 are from India and the one older some are from Japan and some are from India....and the first models that SA got was Japan... Check the. Vin codes M is India. And J japan

Awesome and very informative video! The Suzuki Swift is a great option and I can definitely see why it won budget car of the year for 2019/2020. I have also reviewed the Suzuki Swift on my channel if you would like to check it out.
Guys the most i can get out this car is legit 16.9 at most 17.1 km/100 an i tried guys i even drove 80-100 on national speed. This 5.6 figure people are talking about baffles me 😂

I'm stuck deciding between the Toyota Starlet and this Suzuki Swift. I'm curious, what was the deciding factor for you?
@Sechaba Ramphele For me, 2 factors. The boot size and the power-train/engine size. We as a family dont need the extra power, and the boot size did not matter cause we use the car for only driving to school and work. The moment you are going to use the car for more then that, then Starlet would have been our choice.
@@sechabaramphele1383 I’m in the exact same position as you. Starlet or swift. Been trying to find out what’s best for me
Picking up my Suzi this week! I am excited. Great review♡♡
How you enjoying your Swift.....
@@Lindobz17 it's been 2 months and I am absolutely loving it we already on 2000km. Such a smooth ride.
@@kAyFeatherbird Oh wow I'm impressed, getting mine this coming week... And will take it for a drive to JHB in April....
How much is the monthly installment?
About 4k. I got the latest Suzuki GLX 2021
I bought a 2021 swift Gl red....... Feels better to drive than a picanto.... Looks better as well... Handles closest to first Gen Ford Figo.... Very light on fuel..... The tyres don't grip enough... The Tyre just spin in gear acceleration.... Very exciting to drive..... My Gl has tc and esp 2021....
The 2017 swift had a 1.0 turbo option in many markets and it was a marvelous engine.
This is the most comprehensive review of this car on youtube! Excellent! Love it
Got my Suzuki today...awesome car, runs like a dream
Great review. I do agree with the fact that small light cars are fun to drive.
Getting a GL, Red with black roof next week. Very excited!
Love this! Think it will be my first car 😍 thanks for the great review

Great video! Would love to see Alex's polo 1.9 tdi on the channel at some point. 👌
Would love to see Alex and Niyaaz do a side by side video with the swift vs swift sport. People love these cars!

These are great value in the UK. Great cars good review thanks

Great review Alex. Sounds like a perfect first car. 👌
Yasss, it’ll be my first. I’m getting it next year.. it’s very cute😍
Tomorrow I drive the glx swift away.. quite stoked won't lie
Great video mate. Very good car for this price. Can you help me with this? Does the car support andoid auto wireless connect? Cheers from Greece. Thx.
My mom bought one jan 2020 and loves it and does 70km a day in the 1.2 glx loves this car. Even she can't get through the fuel. Is the TDi I up for sale I'm looking a replacement for mine that was stolen
Lovely review
Silly question maybe, but has it got fix points for roof rails? The boot is kind of small, and every now and again I'll need to carry some more stuff.
My 58 plate 1.3 is brilliant 61 mpg best car Iv had
Be nice to see a bit more of the car

That was some serious nitpicking to try find things wrong with it!
My mom recently purchased one of these, and she absolutely loves it.
I have the GA, so not as many features but everything you need. Love the switch...Definite bank for buck
would you pick swift or i20
is it a wise choice to go from a Golf 7 GTI DSG to thte Suzuki Swift GLX ?
You like the swift sport 1.4 turbo or this one ?
@14:57 , alex should’ve rolled the credits for 2 seconds and then said it’s a joke 🤣
Are parts easy to Access or is it a struggle to get them
Nice car really. They cost nearly 74K USD in my country(singapore) Feb 2022.
bro.. the quality of this video is impacable. what are you using to capture this HD to 4k video?
Great stuff Tata
Fantastic Car Fantastic Review. It will be selling like hot cakes...I'm also looking into the space of getting myself one
Had one for 2 months didn't like it traded it in for a 191 mirca Happy now
Does anyone hear slight rattle noise when it's in neutral which stops when you put it in gear..... The noise is close to the selector on the gearbox
Swift or mini which costs 10k more at least ?
what's the color code of the top part of the car?
Thanks! I will buy this car :) Can any advice it's smart buy 4wd version?
Rather spend on Suzuki swift than a polo
Why?
Why?
From my experience of driving one for a few months. Its cheaper to run and more reliable. It's frugal on fuel. And people who own one full time never had a breakdown
I think I met this guy in High school 2013. His name was Alex and he was the friendliest guy to random people when there were inter-school events. Or he just looks like him.
What is the song you used?

There's a nice Cape Town Swift club which I am a member of. Lekker regular social drives
Wanted to ask .. with it being so light .. is it safe to drive on the motorway in Cape Town when it’s windy ?

Im getting 28km/ltr
Love it
Suspension sucks
Shifting faster then normal does bog down sometimes.
Otherwise it's a great car
28km/litre is very impressive. Are u mostly driving on highways?
