Question 1

Which petrol engine is best in a used Suzuki Swift?

Accepted Answer

The 1.0 Boosterjet turbo, sold from 2017 to 2020, has more torque than the 1.2 Dualjet, while the naturally aspirated 1.2 is the simpler engine. From 2020 the regular Swift came only with the 1.2 Dualjet mild hybrid.

Question 2

How does the Suzuki Swift mild hybrid work?

Accepted Answer

A belt-driven starter-generator and a small battery recover energy when slowing and help the engine pull away. The car cannot drive on electricity alone and is refuelled like any other petrol car.

Question 3

How much is road tax on a used petrol Suzuki Swift?

Accepted Answer

A Swift first registered from April 2017 pays the standard £200 a year. An earlier one pays a rate set by its CO₂ band, and the CO₂ figure is shown on the V5C log book.

Question 4

Which petrol Suzuki Swifts can drive in London's ULEZ?

Accepted Answer

Petrol cars need Euro 4, so nearly every Swift registered from 2006 onwards complies. An older Swift needs its exact emission standard checked before entering Greater London.

Question 5

What petrol engine does the new Suzuki Swift have?

Accepted Answer

Every new Swift has a 1.2 three-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol with 82 PS, in Motion or Ultra trim. It comes with a manual or a CVT automatic, and the manual Ultra is also offered with ALLGRIP four-wheel drive.
