2017 Suzuki Swift review | CarAdvice

Показать описание

Suzuki is on a roll. New offerings such as the Ignis, Baleno and Vitara are giving the humble Japanese brand more exposure than it has had in years.

But the all-new Suzuki Swift you see here is the big one, because it's the company's most popular vehicle and the one it's best known for.

More than 130,000 of them have been sold in Australia since 2005. The only rival that lures more private buyers here is the Mazda 2.

The key for Suzuki when developing the replacement for its outgoing seven-year old Swift was to keep those attributes that made it great - the light weight, nimble dynamics and old world charm - but blend in additional modern features.

Has it succeeded?

love it, way better looking in n out than the last gen n I owned a last gen. Suzuki deserves way better recognition for successfully put up a brand new design that doesn't hurt the overall brand impression but also elevate it to the next level.

Looks good! I hope they fixed the rack and pinion problem the last gen suffered from. Wouldnt mind owning this car at all.👍🏽

Suzuki, the most simple designs ever, but compact, really really compact.

I own a Suzuki XL7 2002, it has technology.... a trip odometer...

I have the Swift dZire (the sedan model). I'm not entirely sure if it's sold in Aus, but I'm from South Africa and I absolutely love it! Just waiting for this new model to release here. Hopefully by the time the new Swift Sport releases I can afford it!

For a student it's a great car. It's very frugal. I get about 19km/l in the city and 26km/l on the highway. Besides the weak engine, I love it. Nippy, eager and a very nice gearbox to use.

What's your height mate, it will be good if you let us know while sitting in the rear seats, gives us more idea about headroom

Great car. About 100 kgs lighter in the body makes this good but even better is the more rigid platform. Once again Suzuki tears away from its competitors with good sound engineering principles.

Im looking at a 2017 today for my son. Anything i should be looking for as far as issues? Any reply appreciated cheers ❤

My experience with the swift is that it’s a good value for what you get but if you’ve experienced anything slightly better like a golf for example. The difference in quality and refinement is quite large. And it feels unbearably slow. But that’s to be expected I guess. If it’s a first car or if you are a bit of a novice it’s a perfect car.

He forgot to mention there is no spare wheel if you have a blowout and many klm from help.

How’s the legroom for taller people around 1.92m ?

What time is the best time to pick up one of these? Do you reckon I should wait a year for the price to drop?

Did you manage to compare it against other rivals? If you did i bet fell behind everyone of them but the swift is a nice car. I have had suzuki's for years but i question their reliability. They are an absolute ball ache after 100k miles. My sisters friend bought a vitara 1.0 boosterjet and is having issue's already. She has replaced rear tires twice already and now its limp mode and suzuki cannot find the problem. I wish i never recomended suzuki to her now. Based on all the things ive seen on these newer suzuki im not sure whether i wanna buy another suzuki again. Which is a shame cus i like them😕.
