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, petrol-powered supermini offering genuine driving enjoyment combined with low running costs and comprehensive standard equipment. Now in its fourth generation, it uses the same platform as its predecessor but benefits from a refreshed design and improved infotainment system. With a 1.2-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine producing 82bhp, available as either a five-speed manual or CVT automatic, the Swift delivers a fun, agile driving experience with a firm ride that encourages spirited driving. Boot space stands at 265 litres, expandable to 589 litres with rear seats folded, though this is smaller than key rivals.

Both Motion and Ultra trim levels come generously equipped with heated seats, air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, reversing camera, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with integrated satnav and smartphone integration. The manual achieves an impressive 64.2mpg officially, with real-world figures around 52mpg or better. All-wheel-drive AllGrip is available on the Ultra trim with manual transmission. However, insurance groupings of 25-28 are notably high for an 82bhp supermini, which may deter younger drivers. The Swift represents an excellent choice for those prioritising driving dynamics, efficiency, and standard equipment over maximum interior space.

Best for: Drivers seeking a fun, engaging supermini with low running costs, comprehensive standard equipment, and excellent fuel economy; those who value driving enjoyment over maximum boot space.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring maximum passenger or boot space, young drivers concerned about insurance costs, or those seeking the cheapest entry-level supermini option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Swift if: You seek a fun, engaging supermini with low running costs, comprehensive standard equipment, and excellent fuel economy, or prioritise driving enjoyment over maximum interior space.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum passenger or boot space, are concerned about insurance costs, or seek the cheapest entry-level supermini option available.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Swift (2024-present) is a strong contender in the supermini market, offering excellent driving dynamics, low running costs, and generous standard equipment. Whilst rivals like the Skoda Fabia provide more interior space and the Dacia Sandero offers lower purchase prices, the Swift's combination of engaging handling, comprehensive specification, and efficiency makes it an outstanding choice for drivers prioritising enjoyment and practicality. It represents the best all-rounder in its class for those who value driving engagement alongside everyday usability.
