Suzuki Swift FAQs

• Is the Suzuki Swift a good car?

  The Suzuki Swift is a popular option for those on a budget, offering all the zip and agility to take you through the chaos that accompanies inner-city driving. With ample functionality and a sprightly engine that works tirelessly to perform well in a range of conditions, the Suzuki Swift drives with spirit and vigour. This is the prime example of a compact lightweight car that has all the capabilities to punch well above its weight, not to mention, the fact that a modest budget can still deliver in spades.

• Is the Suzuki Swift a safe car?

  The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) gave the Suzuki Swift a five-star rating for safety in 2017. However, not all models have the latest state-of-the-art safety features, and if that testing was redone today, the GL Navigator would score four stars as autonomous emergency braking isn't standard in that version. In addition to AEB, the GL Navigator Plus and GLX Turbo variants also feature adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, reverse parking sensors and rear-cross traffic alerts. There is no lane-trace assist, steering assist or traffic-sign recognition in any of the Suzuki Swift models.

• Is the Suzuki Swift good for a long drive?

  One of the things that will be sure to surprise you is the level of space and roominess in this compact unit, with loads of head room and leg space, and ergonomic seating that is perfect for all those hours behind the wheel. What's more, the Suzuki Swift is fairly effortless to drive, an easy car to manage over long distances and one that rides smoothly, quietly and responsive to every bit of input. While you might be missing that little bit of extra power that helps when overtaking, the smooth gear changes and delicate grip more than make up for it.
