This is the new Suzuki Swift Sport!
If you’re in the market for a small yet affordable hot hatch, it’s fair to say they don’t come much smaller or more affordable than the Swift Sport!
However, don't let its small size decieve you - this little pocket rocket can still perform! With a 1.4-litre turbo under the bonnet it can deliver 129hp and help you hit 60mph in around 9 seconds. Not only that, but with it now coming as a mild hybrid, it’ll give you that extra little push when you’re driving around.
So the performance stats are pretty good, and with it coming in at around £22,000, it’s pretty affordable as well! But can it really compete with class leaders like the Fiesta ST? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Perhaps the most popular car on Indian roads..
No, it's suzuki swift desire
also Suzuki Baleno. Wagon R. Celerio & Vitara Brezza
No LOL it's alto
@@Dashamuulam I like the driving dynamics, lots of fun(I own a superb, don't give me that tin can bs please)
@@Dashamuulam bruh Swift is one of the best fun to drive cars under 10lakh in India
Its light, has a reliable 4 cylinder engine
The only downside is safety
I feel like I’m the weird one for not caring about hard plastic?
I don’t often rub my interior sensually
😂😂😂
Casual!
Hard plastic is just better. I have a car with all soft plastics and it's a rattle box about 2 years in. I think the different plastics shrink at different rates...
Yup, I just don't care either.
Same here, hard plastics just make it more fun. I've drove my car for a soild 2 hours and the hard plastics wake you up
What i like about Suzuki Swift is that it is really finely tuned on the things people actually use and touch. Door handle, steering, gear shifts, seats, pedals, buttons on steering wheels, the indicator and wiper sticks. I mean these are the things most people use when driving and they all feel so high quality. Even expensive cars like certain Hondas don’t do them as well as Suzuki do. Not to mention how practical this little gem is. Well done Suzuki!

@@TheXextreemWas my first car when I was 15 and that was annoying especially from first to second gear but besides that a super fun car to drive
In Hungary there are millions of the things! Mostly the old models from late 90s. They just keep going forever! Cheap, simple, economical and fun to drive. Great little cars!
The swift arrived in 2002 ?

First generation Swift is the national car of Hungary.

My father owns one from the 90s as well as a daily. Extremely reliable.
Wish the same specs were there on the India version. India’s Swift is a tincan on wheels!

Couldn't agree more the build quality is trash and its light asf.
They are going introduce it in 2022

Never ever underestimate an inch

@꧁ RITA - F**UСК МЕ ꧂ same
I'm a 6 foot 1 male weighing 130kgs. I have no problem getting in or out of this car and it is shocking spacious. One time as a test I put the front seat all the way back, it was so far back I couldn't reach the front pedals. Then without changing the seat position I went into the back seat and found that I could sit without my knees touching the back of the seat in front of me. So yeh, spacious is an understatement
Btw I love that you finally got around to reviewing it. I have had the base version for about 2 years now and it's honestly the best car on the market today under $20,000 AUD
I got mine almost a year ago, here in Germany. So far this car has proven out to be incredibly reliable, considering I drove it over 30.000km's in just 11 months. And more than 90% of this has been achieved, driving on the Autobahn. My average fuel consumption is at about 7.4l on 100 km. However, to be entirely honest, I never try to drive fuel efficient or economic at all. Here are some annoying things I came across with my swift sport: 1. While the LED Headlights are great, the sensor for the automated high beams is not always reacting quick enough. 2. At above 200 km/h some wind noises turn into notorious squeeking. I wasn't able to locate the exact origin of the sound, however it seems like its from the back right door. The Suzuki Service Station was not able to sort it out unfortunately - so I have to live with it, I guess. However, I came a cross similar issues from other swift drivers on the german forums as well. All in all, considering the price tag, and the otherwise good quality, I am happy to have chosen it over its German competitors. Especially, since it always puts a smile on my face, when I am driving on the Autobahn (Max Speed in my case: 212 km/h & downhill: 225km/h) and always feels safe, nimble & controllable.
@carwow maybe you got any solution for my squeaking problem? :D
Do dampening and put some insulation
an incredible reliability after one year is not exeptional
Lies again? Sistic Official Soundtrack
30,000kms at 200+km/hr, wow! Try that in Aussie, and you will quickly get acquainted with the taste of prison food. At that speed are you generally overtaking other cars, or being overtaken by other cars?
It's the Autobahn. People do some serious need for speed on the no speed limit section's.
I’ve had this Swift Sport generation as a daily when I was a Suzuki salesman in the Netherlands. I’m 1.91m(6f 2/3”) and 85 kilo’s and I’m just fine in those lovely bucket seats. Drove 30.000km and those we’re an absolute blast. Cornering in this thing is just sooo much fun
Yeah but 85 kg is pretty small for me would be an issue lol
@@ayrtonowen2703 85kg is small?
@@crazyforiegner2 well I mean it is really no?

I saw one today in the showroom - and I just love the way it looks, its a small pocket rocket full of fun :)!
I've tested this car for a week as well. Very fun little car and I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable little hot hatch that is also extremely reliable!
why you think its reliable?
@@review-rosok1609 because Suzuki (Japanese brand) has a history of making very reliable cars!
@@review-rosok1609 suzuki was the most reliable car brand in What Car reliability survey 2018 and placed 2nd in 2019.
I had an older generation of Swift for 7 years. Did not go wrong at all. I trust Suzuki 100%. I'm buying a Sport tomorrow 🤘🏿
Yes it's very very reliable and good peppy engines obviously it's japaneese 😁💫

Always awesome to see the EU/UK Spec and the updated review of this car! This is such a fun car to drive and was right up my alley price wise. No regrets!
Ive had a Suzuki Vitara Turbo 2.5 yrs and Ive just clocked 100,000km. Interior is similar to the Sport yet the interior still looks mint. Car has been fantastic without issue, infact due to the early torque I rarely rev it above 3k rpm. Ill probably make a Swift sport my 2nd car in the future
I have this car and it's one of the best cars I've ever driven, especially for that price.
I now have got it tuned to 180 bhp and it's a pocket rocket. I must say I have the non hybrid version and its lots faster than the suzuki calculation of 8 seconds to 60. Stock I did around 7.1.
How do you get it tuned up?, just a normal tune, and what was bhp before tuning?
It feels like a small crossover in the back.
It's so spacious.
I love this car.
Well, I'm looking to buy a car and I really enjoy the videos on this channel, although I couldn't help but notice that there is none (?) of the new Opel (or well, Vauxhall) Corsa. It would be a real help as it is a strong contender in the lower priced new cars segment (which is now a thing.) Thanks a million, and keep up the good work! :)
In Japan they even offer an AWD version. With a manual transmission.
It's called the alto turbo rs

A Swift Sport, specially tuned for the Nordschleife, was one of the most fun cars I have ever driven on it.
Was this model or the previous one?
@@Kskdoru both. The newer Model was a bit more fun because it has more HP.

both the swift gl on Saturday. brilliant drive. base model. 1.2litre. great for my budget. still need to take it to it's distance. confirms my buy is a good choice. thank you.
8:00 more important is the oil temp gauge. Pretty rare equipment for this price range.
Hi dear i want to buy a car at afghanistan but the price of oil is very high here.
Can u plz tell me either swift car is cheap at oil expense or corola 1996 ?
A Toyota GR Yaris is Rallycar on the streets, this is a budget hothatch
I reckon it’s a modern day Citroen Saxo VTS equivalent
Honk
Not a hothatch tho and nor is it budget for 22.000 for a suzuki swift
This is a luke warm hatch
@@JC_303 as long as it is slower than a basic 2.0tdi it is just a hatchback that has usable engine speed . I hate the branding of sport for cars that dont deserve the name and are lower than a damn tdi that everyone buys . At the same time a s3 is too powerfull its a hyperhatvh imo . I like the i30n hyundai or i20n as small cars with real hot hatch power ;) . Have a nice day
I've got the non hybrid version of the sport, outstanding little car and much quicker than the spec sheets suggest. You're spot on with the annoying features though Mat!
I've got a non hybrid sport and my centre console does not move, maybe I'm lucky. Not a perfect car obviously, but it does more right than wrong, it's quicker than the official figures and driven sensibly does over 50mpg and for a 60+ year old like me it's nice and comfy and best of all it's very reliable.
Lol I thought I was the only one who chucks parcel shelves! Also chucked the false bottom of my boot, since all it did was reduce story space. Awesome presentation mate.
-so your last wish
Mat:Help me Carwow!
Lol
i was literally watching the old review of the carand they just uploaded it, thanks carwow love mat and his reviews
All generations and all versions of Suzuki Swift are fun to drive, they have a true driving spirit
Love your reviews keep it up 👍👍👍
Here in Australia, we have 3 levels of swift. Entry 1.2L 4 cylinder, mid glx turbo 1l 3 cylinder turbo and the sport 4 cylinder turbo. I have the mid level glx turbo and its a great car. has lane departure warning and radar cruise, as well as high and low speed aeb. I always find in interesting what part of the world get what specification.
Oh God, I have been asking for this review for literally a few days and here it is. Love you Carwow, thank you very much!
I had a lot of fun with the 110bhp SZT which is so light and slides around at will, and being 3cyl sounds quite funky too. Beware the red pearlescent paint, touching up chips was a nightmare, ended up needing the body shop to do it at great expense.
How much you cost for servicing including oil change all.. thanku
500-800$
Swifts have always been sooo popular in Australia and NZ too. They're bloody everywhere. Fantastic cars.
It’s a pretty darn good budget car
Yeah
There it’s a 7:43 Nurburgring zc33 SWIFTSPORT turbo car . So no sub estimate this ring tool 😃✌🏻🇨🇴 by the way also check us at @SWIFTSPORTCOLOMBIA on Instagram cheers 🍻 buddy’s , 17 second faster than Matt’s Gr YARIS 8min stock car 🤪
Couple of quick points - have driven these many times at work (local Suzuki dealer loans them to us!), the 0-60 is much faster than advertised, can get just over 7 secs in the older turbo, the newer hybrid is pretty close to that too, weighs a little more but a little more torque. It's a shame you didn't do the GPS test - Sure you'd have managed sub 8 secs no problem! Secondly - the reversing camera despite the low resolution is one of the best I've used, it's angled perfectly with the rear bumper and not distorted so you can see accurately where kerbs/walls are and park within a cm! :) Really like these little Suzuki's (coming from a Volvo S90 and now BMW i3 owner).*
*Oh, and the economy is fantastic - easily got 50mpg in the older turbo in all conditions and cruising at 80mph on the motorways, small tank limits the range a bit but not had another petrol car which can manage that with reasonable performance (the modern 1-1.3l offerings in all crossovers rarely seem to get much over high 30's despite 60mpg+ on paper).
Why did you go from a s90 to an i3? That seems like the downgrade of the century to me
@@hobbypyromane2.05 Actually I far preferred the i3 - faster, quieter, more spacious (really!), rwd. Harder riding but definitely enjoyed it more, higher quality interior too, just shame range was just over 100m in winter.
Nice review, very honest description of the car
Got one myself, absolutely love it. Mine isn’t a hybrid, 0-60 clocks in at under 8 seconds un modified.
A suzuki alto works can do the same
Nice to see a more up to date version of the Suzuki Swift Sport on Carwow. Old one was 2 years ago (on Carwow)
This is a car that you think is unpractical but it isn’t. Really nice car! 🚗
Gibbon
It's a shame that Suzuki's car and bike dept are separate and don't share technology between them like BMW or Honda do. It would be interesting to see a Swift with a Hayabusa or a GSXR 1000 derived engine. : )
I own the one with 15 inch wheels with an automated manual transmission and love it to bits! The front seats are too comfortable and the NA 1.2 L 4 cyl engine is smooth and extremely fuel efficient (getting 20 km/l)
New suzuki hatchbacks in japan are dwarfed by the swift and get around 37km/l
20kmpl on highway or city? How much do you get in city?
@@rahulkrish9840 20 km/l in the city
The man himself James May said that Suzuki is the most underrated car brand.
It’s not underrated lol. There are hundreds of thousand swifts on the roads everywhere in eu.
@@Ettzil True, Suzuki's are pretty common he in Australia, and not just the swift.
@@swiftsportcolombia sarpado
@@Ettzil they are generally quite underrated because you rarely hear anyone talk about them, yet they are well-built no frills cars that just run forever and pretty much never let you down. I for one love my weak little diesel Swift. Never a single issue apart from the crap I'm responsible for.
I had a 2003 ignis and it was my favourite car. 1.3 DOHC and a little rocket. So much fun to drive. Only issue was the demister in the front. Never cleared the windscreen - only reason I sold it
My favorite mini hatchback.. it has a wide presence on the road and a mature look..
Got one. I live in a mountainous area with a few great mountain passes. More powerful cars with better power to wait ratios are obviously quicker but the strength of this car is how it performance in the twisties. Can keep up with or outrun more powerful cars with the 'right' driver behind the wheels.
7:04 "You know what i am gonna do " I literally watch that scene like 10 time 🤣
The car actually does 0-60 at around 7.3-7.5 seconds for the manual version and around 7.1 seconds for the automatic version. Numbers were from PdriveTv when they tested it.
i can see a lot of mini vibes going in this car
This is more Mini than the new Mini.
old school mini*
Reliable mini
Mat, your reviews are the best. Oy, mate... what’s happened to the stick of truth? I’m missing it 🤷🏻♂️😂
Reminds me of my 2007 SX4. Not much has changed nor should it. Is good and reliable transportation.

I having been waiting for this video bcoz Swift is my daily driver and I love it 😍😊
7:15 stuff slipping is easy fixed with that sticky/grippy mesh matting that's often recommended for the front parcel shelf. cheap too !! and it works !!
this color and the two tone is really cool
Got mine in grey mineral for 6 months and it's pure fun. I'm 1m80 for 110kg and i find the seat great. Bit of exageration in this video tbh. For example doesn't go 1-100km/h in above 9sec lol.
Average did it within 7sec/7,5sec. Ratio weight 1025kg for 129 hp (actually more 140hp, some guys did bench speed) is super cool. Feel like you didn't really test it
Yeah I also have one and love it. I kind of expected a review that focused on the driving, but no, it is a typical practicality-centred carwow video, and it was also sort of a whole Swift range review, rather than specifically the Swift Sport. And finally, I'm tired of journalists spewing claimed 0-100 times without testing. I mean, what's the point of a review? I can read a spec sheet by myself.
@@abiopc Yeah exactly. Can't trust the other reviews now when you actualy test one of the cars. Best honest review i've seen so far was here czcams.com/video/wYe_ooFhS_s/video.html&ab_channel=MotorSport%26DreamCars . The guy did a great job. Guess it's the difference between a passionate and a car dealer only promoting his website...
Ok, carwow and Mat Watson are involved in some kind of witchcraft. Why else would I ever watch a review of a Swift? :D Thank you so very much for daily videos!
True, i dont understand why i watch these cars, I wouldnt buy a car like this if it was 100 euro
lmao go buy bmw for sure idiots haha
love the Suzuki Swift. i drive the 1.0L boosterjet and it's a blast. looking forward to the next reiteration ;)
this is nostalgic lmao ... its been a very long time since mat reviewed a regular car
Lololol "that all important extra inch" lololol matt always being slick with his words lol
My dad owned one of these. His second car and was satisfied af with the price, comfort and driving ergonomics. I remember traveling with atleast 8 people in this small beast for a short period of time. Value for money 😍.
Faker than a 3 quid bill
Awesome video guys! Hey, just so you know, the video window for the Hyundai i20 actually goes to the Hyundai i30!😸😸
The Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 turbo 6MT 140 ps model makes perfect sense for drivers like me. Married with 3 children, have a larger family estate (VW Passat) but need a small commuter/ daily driver. The VW Up! also seemed like a good choice, but that car can only seat 4, whereas the Swift can seat my whole family of 5 in a pinch.
From 0 to pop-up banner is getting faster and faster, impressive.
My Dad has one of these Swifts, and has a previous gen Swift.
While the last car was a bit more stylish, the one he has now is a brilliant car. He does mostly town driving and never sees less than 55mpg. It’s also deceptively large inside, and pretty quick.
Car Mechanics also did a review of this car and basically concluded that it would be totally reliable with just basic servicing.
Reliable bang for Buck car, for Sure!
