The new fourth generation Suzuki Swift Hybrid will go on sale in Ireland from April. It comes with enhanced but familiar exterior and interior designs, an even higher standard equipment specification than before, improved performance, lower CO2 emissions and better fuel economy.
Suzuki says a new Z12E 1.2-litre Mild Hybrid three-cylinder engine offers up to eight per cent fuel efficiency improvement versus the previous K12D engine.
In its 'Motion' trim with manual transmission, the new Swift Hybrid can achieve CO2 emissions of just 99g/km. It also has a combined fuel consumption of 64.2mpg, according to Suzuki.
The new Swift Hybrid will go on sale here from €21,495 and in a two model line-up of 'Motion' and 'Ultra' grades.
Standard equipment for the Motion grade includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, navigation, rear view camera, rear parking sensors, Adaptive Cruise Control, wireless smartphone link display audio, keyless entry & start, Driver Monitoring System and a Dual Sensor Brake Support (upgraded ). It also has Lane Departure Warning and Weaving Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor and enhanced Traffic Sign Recognition.
Meanwhile, the Ultra trim starts from €22,695 and adds 16-inch polished alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, rear passenger heater outlet and electric folding door mirrors incorporating side turn indicators.
An automatic CVT Gearbox is available as optional equipment on both models (€23,495 for Motion and €24,695 for Ultra ). This maintains a claimed combined fuel consumption figure of 60.1mpg.
The new Swift is available in eight metallic colours with a further four dual tone colours available optionally incorporating either a black pearl or grey metallic roof depending on the chosen body colour.
Suzuki tells us that an optional ALLGRIP ‘Auto’ 4WD will be introduced on the Ultra model with manual transmission later this year.
Suzuki Connect connected services is offered free of charge for three years from vehicle registration date. Service Activated Warranty is offered free of charge after manufacturer warranty expires and until the car reaches seven years / 100,000miles - whichever comes first.
