I have the previous model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks like a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model a few weeks ago and can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model,and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine.

I think there a wide open gap in the market for car focused, rather than personality based, road tests of normal cars. We’ve got Harry’s Garage for Uber cool cars, and he’s exceptionally gifted at presenting them, but ever since Top Gear started cocking around more than reviewing, there’s a gap for a knowledgeable enthusiast like yourself to review the mainstream cars most people actually buy, rather than lease. Big thumbs up from me👍 Would be interested in you doing more used reviews too, your eclectic tastes could be quite thought provoking!

But remember your roots... we all love the videos fixing up cars with your dad. That's what it's all about showing what the average guy can do in his driveway!

Thanks Charles appreciate that. I do actually have a background in radio as I was a radio presenter for over 16 years 🤣 glad it hasn't worn off. Roots will not be forgotten. The channel always has been and always will be about my passion for my collection and just tinkering with my Dad but also ... I kinda fancied something different as an experiment 🤣 - Dad's already told me I'm a sell out 😊

Well done Jon a great review and I must say the new Swift looks a great looking car my brother had a Suzuki baleno many years ago and never ever had a problem with it he since moved to Toyota because the nearest service dept to where he was in Leicestershire was 100 miles away at the time I would definitely look into one Look forward to the next one!

You didn't explain the Hybrid system.

@JonCoupland 27 күн бұрын

There really isn't much to explain sadly. Suzuki claim it saves 8-10% more fuel by having a battery that charges itself, by recovering energy that would normally be lost during braking and deceleration and storing it in a second battery. It's not overly worth shouting about

@Zadster 27 күн бұрын

Not sure about the car but a really good first review! For a small car, it is nearly at your shoulder height, almost the size of a small SUV like a Ford Puma, and I do wish designers would stop making cars look angry. Perfectly competent but it seems like it doesn't do anything particularly well. Which probably means it will sell in huge quantities. Fine as a short term hire car but really wouldn't spend my own money on it. 6/10

I get what you are saying. World would be boring if we all liked the same thing. It was a bit bigger than it's previous namesake but didn't feel ... Too big 😊
