The 2019 Suzuki Swift is a fun hatchback -- but it isn't sold in the United States. Today I'm reviewing the Swift to show you what we're missing with the new Suzuki Swift Boosterjet -- and I'll take you on a full tour of the Swift and show you all of its quirks and features.

It used to. It is now replaced by a 130 hp mild hybrid version. Being in the market for an afffordable daily, I'll settle for the 110hp non-hybrid 'normal' Swift.
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X Understandable, If you are looking for this car try the older non hybrid with low mileage. 140hp out of that 1.2 turbo is nuts
I feel like this deserves a 10 for value. This is A LOT of car and with A TON of features for an incredibly small asking price! Even if this jumped to around $15k if sold in the U.S. it would still be a tremendously great deal!
Don't give them Ideas!
I love to see the review of that cars which I can actually afford
Same. Supercars are cool, but watching them while knowing you're never gonna have one is a bit pointless.
I own this car, really didn't think I would see Doug review it one day
If you live in the US you can't get it 😭
@Doug Demuro review my Nissan Altima coupe
This is my absolute dream car. I won’t be able to afford it ever though. 😓
What I get from this is that the Suzuki Swift is closer to a Lamborghini Aventador than any american sports car.

Umm...
Ive stalked cars across States.. just to get a picture. Ive done that numerous times with countless vehicles. Id go back through numerous States if there was something I regularly see and I wanted a shot of. Ive even made the gamble... on NUMEROUS cars, stuff that was an 1-2hrs away. Just to get a pic.
LOL,
Some stuff... to THIS DAY... I wanted to steal a 450 SLC hardtop. It was 15yrs ago and it was sitting there in an abandoned lot in decent condition. I took shots of every car there. Easily 30 M-B cars in poor junk condition. Never took the top, cause I couldnt get the damn thing home. I look back now.. at the location, everything there is lone gone (cars, top, property).
There is nothing crazy sbout crossing country lines to take a shot or do a review!
Ive stalked cars for MONTHS... just to get a picture. Thats happened too often than I can count. In every situation... its some abandoned looking car. Tucked back somewhere. Where the property and the vehicle can see the road. Due to the fragility of the car, ya have to wait a good few months (past winter) to see what a plan for the car would be by its current owners. By month 5-6.. and tracking it everyday, hasnt moved, hasnt done anything, that is when I make a move. I just find a way to get into position at the least possible / suspicious time of the day / month / week / yr. I get the shot and I take off.
THE NEXT DAY.... its gone. Doesnt matter what condition, what type of vehicle, age, mileage, complete... its gone.
I am VERY proud to have gotten the shot.
Across a Country, Id do it. As long as its something decent and Ive watched it for a while.
Most times...
Its about being patient. Today I caught a shot of something I really wanted... and I was in the right spot at the right time. I got the pic.
I dont break laws...
I dont get out of my vehicle....
I stay off owner property.
Ive brought a Telephoto Lens.. to get a shot.
But I always get the shot.

PLEASE DO RENAULT TWINGO 1 C06 i think they are not available in the US. Import one cost 500$ xD
14,000 dollars in the US gets you a Mirage where “power windows” is a feature. Mexico gives a 12,000 dollar car with a nicer gauge cluster and better infotainment. I’m moving to Mexico 🇲🇽.
I wish we could import some of the cars they have they sell several cool hatchbacks and wagons we dont get in the US and some cheap Chinese knock off brands although i wouldnt trust those lol
You’ll realise soon afterwards that you didn’t actually want to do that
Yeah
@@Finestizpro For the cheap Chinese brands (Baojun, Geely, etc.), European Union has stated those cars have deeply poor crash test ratings, some receiving a 0/5 score overall. But I do completely agree with you on having cars from outside USA! 😃 There is a general rule in USA that if the car is 25 years or older it doesn't have to meet the same safety or fuel economy standards, so it can get imported. If the Suzuki Swift has good safety and fuel economy, I am sure it would be a nice car to import or drive from Mexico to United States😁

Doug, I didn't expect you'd review a Swift.
Since you've gone down that road, I sincerely suggest you find a Maruti Suzuki Alto..
It's worse than a Mirage and will set a new record for the lowest score.
The alto retails for 5500$ new, what do you expect, massaging seats?
@@InfiniteKmpl For $5500, more safety and less marketing.
@@vaibhavjoshi9141 Show me another 5500$ car with better safety. It gets abs and airbags as standard. The alto isn't marketed aggressively, it keeps selling without any sort of marketing.
@@InfiniteKmpl Exactly. Here in the Philippines, the vast majority of suzuki cars are from maruti. People often piss on the Alto for being cheap. They fail to realize that suzuki was aiming for that niche. Its a cheap family car that would do fine as long as there are no stupid, bully Suvs who will kill anyone in their way just because they have better armor plus airbags.
Hatchbacks and sedans were made for the city(fuel efficiency, size, etc.) Suvs should roll over!😂
Maruti is only available in India.The rest of the world has authentic Suzuki.
I moved to the USA in 2013, from Argentina. I had a Swift there, you can't believe how wonderful it is. I miss it so much!
Here in Europe we get Suzuki Swift Sport, the real sport version of Suzuki Swift. It has a sportier look and a 1.4l turbocharged engine. It has 140HP and it is one of the coolest little sport cars you can have.

Doug is the only CZcamsr that actually goes to Mexico to test drive cars.
This is 2 or 3 times now, and a delightful quirk of his review channel!

Whoever Whoever He still has hopes of meeting his dream car. :)
Can’t believe he still uses this rating system
He’s the Anthony Fantano of Car reviewers
One of the best among small, cheap hatchbacks. But not on the level of Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lambos or Bugattis which are rated in the same scoring system.
As a kid my mother had a 1996 Swift in America, just like the red one shown in the video. I can confirm that the drawings in the owners manual are the same ones used from at least the 1996 model year.
"We paid someone to illustrate our owner's manuals... Once"

dougs score for acceleration is so ass. almost any car a normal person could buy gets a 1.
It should be a relative score imo. Like, how good are the power and acceleration relative to other cars in its class
@@Mgoblagulkablong come on man no need to be rude and generalise a whole country. Doug puts acceleration under the "weekend" category so it sort of makes sense.
because its put on the same scale as bugatti's Chiron. Wish he had a figuring for each class of vehicle. In the subcompact class, this would prob get a 6/7. But Doug doesnt move in such humble circles.
I love Doug but his scoring system is by far one of the worst ones I’ve ever seen. It’s completely asinine.

@@Lord_Alhaitham south mumbai. why tho??
The D/A modes in the Anti-theft screen could possibly be 'Disarm'/'Arm' or 'Deactivate'/'Activate'. Vehicle theft is more common than in other markets compared to the US, and Suzuki is actually one of the only manufacturers to have that system built-in for decades. When engaged, if someone taps on the car/tyres the car will.make a loud screeching noise with all hazards on.
Dear Suzuki, we want the Jimny. -America
Usa better said
Because here in my country (Chile), we have it.
@Conor I bet you really want Wald's edition of Jimny, check Black Bison bruh. I'd take it over any small off-roader.
Austrian Suzuki Salesman here: The Jimny is sold out at least for a year ;) We got no cars to sell
Toyota has some stake in Suzuki now, the Jimny kinda looks like an retro FJ40. make it happen Toyota/Suzuki!
No you don’t. It’s got 100 bhp and isn’t fast enough for America. It really is a car for one specific use, off road, and driving distances isn’t even worth thinking about. It’s a wonderful car and I have driven it, but it would fail in America, really.
The Suzuki swift sport is the real gem here in Europe
And it depreciates like crazy so you can buy them for peanuts after a few years :D

@@BlatentlyFakeName it's one of them cars you gotta drive until its death
No its not
The new one having a 1.4L pumping almost 140hp does look pretty interesting, especially since that version runs at only about 970kg AND comes with a 6-speed manual option. Not many hot hatches still sell manual anymore, particularly outside of EU markets where it's still adequately popular :/
Sat in a 2008 one before and it was already quite a hot hatch despite the low power, not a Suzuki fan myself but secretly desiring one of these tiny things.
I actually saw a Suzuki Swift in Texas when I was on vacation lol. I was surprised to see one of them, it was pretty cool.
Wow what a moment you had bro, cherish it well

We had one of these as a hire car. It was brilliant for what it was.
One thing you didn't mention was the fact that Suzuki cars are spectacularly reliable, and that even when they DO have problems, their agents' labour rates are some of the cheapest in their respective markets. That double whammy leads to brilliantly low running costs.
True. In India they are 10x cheaper than Skoda to repair and hence sell like hot cakes.
@@kinglada1492
They may not be the cheapest, but when you combine them with the general reliability and labour rates, this combines to make Suzuki very appealing in the UK, which is where I am taking the data from.
When you consider that Honda (the most reliable marque) parts prices are much, much more expensive, but their vehicles are not that much more reliable, then the equations start to fall into place.
Interestingly, Hyundai/KIA have made significant inroads into the Japanese dominance of this area of car ownership.
Nothing stays very much the same for very long in the automotive industry, with the possible exception of the German manufacturers resting on their laurels for way too long, and the motoring media ignoring it.

Fun fact: 10:05 - those halogen template black boxes are a fun thing. The reasoning for them being there is that they serve as a light beam adjustment whenever your going to a country with left-hand side traffic so you won't blind drivers there. What you have to do is:
1. Cut out those boxes from the manual
2. Stick them to the headlight as described in the manual (you hae to put them in specific places)
3. Voila - now your headlights won't blind anyone in left hand side traffic
I have the 2018 Swift with halogens and that I assure you, that's what the manual in Poland says
EDIT: A&B is a set for right headlight and C&D is for the left one.
***The more you know***
I had a feeling they are cut outs for headlights adjustment/masking. Thanks for the explanation. In UK you can buy stickers to adjust your beam when you go to Europe. When I had my car from Poland MOTed guy simply used duct tape :).
Looking at the comment section, never knew Doug had so many Indian subscribers.

I owned a Suzuki SX4 AWD Touring with a 5 speed manual. It was one of the best new cars I've ever purchased. Extremely capable in snow and light off road. It had the option to switch from 2WD to Intelligent AWD to 50/50 lock with a push of a button. Definitely one of the most underrated AWD cars you could buy at the time (And cheapest!)
I hear ya man, I miss my SX4 it was the same spec as yours. It was my first car. Great in the snow, fun being it has a 5 speed manual. I always wished they would make a sport version with a turbo.

I leased a 2008 Suzuki SX4 JLX AWD for 4 years. It was a great little car. No reliability issues. The steering wheel and instrumentation were very similar to this Swift. My only complaints were that it sat too low for the snowy dirt roads I frequently took it on and the rear seats didn't fold level with the cargo floor. I was going to buy out the lease but when Suzuki announced they were pulling out of Canada, prices dropped like a stone. The residual on the lease was way over market. I just gave it back to Suzuki Canada and let them eat the depreciation. I replaced it with a lightly-used 2007 Subaru Forester, which addressed the ground clearance issues and offered fold-flat rear seats.
I just had to look it up: my '90s Suzuki Swift (which was called Geo Metro there) has the same lady cleaning her car in the manual.

@@msi4887 could buy 2 of these with options, at the price of a Hayabusa in India.
It will stall, the Hayabusa engine has no torque
Amazing review! Really entertaining and engaging !!
Your reviews are Great and so detailed.
"do I want D? Or do I want A?"
You tell us, Doug.
The D. and the A. are both good in my book.
I want the D to be in my A.

I want quirks n features

I have a 1999 Suzuki Esteem, and the owner’s manual still has those same cartoon, anime reminiscent drawings
Are you Saul Goodman by any chance?
Yep same with my 2006 Zen
Also in my 1013 Suzuki wagonr
@@shivnarayanroy3230 wow that's a very old car
@@sourmiIk yep(sarcastically)
LOVE THIS CAR! Am I the only one saddened by the diminishing amount of subcompact cars in the States?
Doug the type of guy to give "Filmed in Mexico" a new meaning.
They do a "hot hatch" version of this in the UK, 1.4 turbo with 140hp. It's surprisingly good
It's basically sold worldwide...
We have it in Mexico too :)
Will Americans, with their massive engines, understand how fast a 1.4 can be when they're driving round in inefficient 6 litre monsters? Or is that stereotype dead - have American engines got smaller/more efficient?
@@jorgeramosmendez7619 is mexico actually that poor?
@@jorgeramosmendez7619 or is it like in other countries
Doug the kind of guy to say Suzuki Swift is exciting while driving a ford GT
Sami Savonjousi when you see a car that you cant get in the us, it’s pretty exciting as an american. My aunt bought a renault captur in Tijuana and then came to visit us here in the states. The fact that there was a renult in front of me was so cool. First time i sat in one (never got a chance in mexico because the mexican market is completely dominated by VW golfs and nissan tsurus). It was pretty sweet
You don't drive, do you? Driving a low power low weight car at 10/10s is way more exiting than driving a high power car 1/10. Because driving the GT 10/10 requires a track. And for speed, the Autobahn. A Swift is fun in every corner on every street. Exactly why in the real world a Lotus Elise is more fun than a Koenigsegg for example.
He also emphasized the price point of the car. So, great compared to most cars at $13,000 new.
my kind of guy
@@frankmagana1408 Guess that is true, I get excited when I see a Cadillac :)
I love the fact that this car has Lamborghini taillight designs on the seats!!! 😁😁😁😁❤❤
Hey Doug!
I have work connections within the Automotive Design Industry in the U.S.. and when I asked, I was told they thought that this is due to the voice controls / voice input not working / understanding the user because of the vast difference in accent - even though they are still speaking English.
Being that those countries are their main “market”.. it would make sense for them to find a way to make the voice feature “understand” their users in those countries!
Not 100% on it but that was their thought!
:)
Maybe you should ask a mexican for a Swift Sport with 140hp if you like sporty hatchbacks.
also it has 1.4 inline 4 turbo charged engine, like the new vitara.. at least here in europe
@@marcelbenedek14 its the same engine...but the car its way smaller...so that thing can go fast af
Well, do they even have it? in my Latam country we only have the normal one, and i think i remember it having a back-up camera too, but a different infotainment, something closer to an android tablet than what he showed.
@@rafaeljimenez197 we have it here in Costa Rica at least
Anthony Richard yes it’s available here in Mexico
Doug is the type of guy to put a ruler under his bed to see how long he slept
I think he is reviewing the Indian made Swift. Here in UAE, we get Japan made Swift as written on the body plate together with the engine and chassis number. We only have the naturally aspirated 1.2 engine. The booster jet is made by Maruti Suzuki. You can also see it with the Toyota Raize. And yes, they are both from India.
I’ve had my Suzuki 1ltr (Metro/92) for 17 years. So in love with. Great engine n trans and with gas at insane price, Its become cool all of a sudden. Instead of “dork mobile”)
