Used Suzuki Swift 2016 Automatic

Swift has been its widespread appeal, traversing both age and gender boundaries. With its tall, neat and angular design, it's not only a great looking car, it's also very practical. For a 3.85-metre car there's a surprising amount of interior space with plenty of head room at both front and rear, although the sloping roof does make entry into the rear seats a bit awkward for taller passengers. The front seats have a good spread of fore-and-aft adjustment and the driver's seat can be raised and lowered. Two engines are offered, both four-cylinder petrol units. The Swift GL, GL Navigator and GLX get a 1.4-litre that generates 70kW of power and 130Nm of torque at 4000rpm.

Fuel consumption is listed at 5.5L/100km and CO2 emissions at 132g/km. We averaged 6.3L/100 km during our week-long test. Transmission options are five-speed manual and four-speed automatic in the GL and four-speed auto only in the GLX. Swift Sport has a six-speed manual or CVT with seven 'manual' settings. Standard safety equipment in all models is fairly basic but does include seven airbags (including a driver's knee airbag) as well as ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist and electronic stability control. All models above the entry-level GL also get front foglights while the GLX and Sport come with LED daytime running lights. Automatic variants also add a hill-hold function.
