The new Swift is another successful transition by Suzuki by giving it what really matters. Great performance elements and superior mileage at a very affordable price. With the new 1.2L 3-cylinder engine, the power and performance is nicely tuned, with a soft 5-speed CVT. The biggest USP is the high mileage of nearly 25.8 km/l, bringing down running costs significantly lower . But top speed and superior handling makes it ideal for everyday commuting. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money but want a reliable compact hatch, then Swift is the best option

Without spending too much, if you want to own a brand new car which is reliable, fuel-efficient and also overall competitive in terms of maintenance, the Swift is definitely the only choice in the market right now. So, when I wanted to go for a new small car, because I have a big SUV already, I decided on Suzuki Swift although there are options in other brands like Kia or Honda, the Swift with its third generation now comes as a better package including design, interior quality and overall handling.

Purchased the 2024 all-new Swift for my father who is a retiree and wants to use it for short distances in Sharjah. The reason we chose this car is because of its size, fuel efficiency, petty engine and overall pleasant cabin. And, after using it for over six months, my father is quite happy with the car. No issue at all, it drives well, mostly city use and quite comfortable to navigate and parking isn’t a big problem either. And, the most important aspect is very very competitive prices, and so a great value buy.

Suzuki has introduced the new generation all-new Swift, which is certainly a lot of improvement than its predecessor. However, there are two specific things I don’t like about the Swift or rather have concern and will advise against buying the car. The first is the 3-cylinder engine that Suzuki has come-up with is certainly not the ideal one for this car, actually it feels a lot under power and the engine just crawling. The second thing is that the Swift, according to me, is not a safe car, it is very light weight and looks very flimsy. But I must add that it is inexpensive and very fuel-efficient too.

If you’re in the market for a budget car, then instead of looking at the used market, just head to the Suzuki showroom and check out the Swift. I’m saying from personal experience, I did the same and then with a starting price of SAR 55K, this Swift is the best option that I bought. With the latest updates, Suzuki has made the Swift far better in every aspect. But, the single most compelling reason is the way it drives in the city and extremely higher mileage.
