Suzuki Swift (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fun to drive	Not as cheap as it once was
Low running costs	Small boot for the supermini class
Well equipped as standard	Rivals offer more passenger space

Quick Summary

The Suzuki Swift (2024-present) is a straightforward, fun-to-drive supermini powered by a single 1.2-litre petrol engine with mild hybrid technology. Available with either a five-speed manual or CVT automatic gearbox, it offers genuine driving enjoyment with agile handling and well-weighted steering. The fourth-generation model uses the same platform as its predecessor, measuring just under 3.9 metres long and weighing between 949kg and 1,037kg depending on specification. With only two trim levels—Motion and Ultra—both are generously equipped with modern technology, including a 9.0-inch touchscreen with integrated satnav, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Boot space of 265 litres is smaller than rivals, expanding to 589 litres with rear seats folded, though this remains tight for a family car. Rear headroom suits passengers up to six feet tall comfortably. The Swift excels in running costs, achieving 64.2mpg officially and over 52mpg in real-world driving, with CO2 emissions of just 99g/km. Both trims include comprehensive safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and blind spot monitoring. However, insurance groupings of 25–28 are unusually high for an 82bhp supermini, which may deter younger drivers despite the car's otherwise appealing proposition.

Best for: Drivers seeking a fun, efficient, and well-equipped supermini with low running costs, those prioritising dynamic handling and modern technology, and buyers wanting simplicity with a single engine option.

Not ideal for: Those needing maximum boot space, buyers seeking the cheapest supermini option, young drivers concerned about insurance costs, or those requiring significantly more passenger space than rivals offer.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Swift if: You seek a fun, efficient, and well-equipped supermini with low running costs, prioritise dynamic handling and modern technology, or want simplicity with a single engine option.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum boot space, seek the cheapest supermini option, are concerned about insurance costs, or require significantly more passenger space than rivals offer.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Swift (2024-present) is an excellent choice in the supermini market, offering genuine driving enjoyment, impressive fuel economy, and comprehensive standard equipment. Whilst it has a smaller boot than rivals like the Skoda Fabia and Vauxhall Corsa, its fun-to-drive character, low running costs, and well-appointed cabin make it a compelling proposition. The Dacia Sandero undercuts it on price, but the Swift offers superior driving dynamics and technology. For buyers prioritising enjoyment and efficiency over maximum space, the Swift deserves serious consideration and should feature in any supermini shortlist.
