Suzuki’s DDiS diesel Swift has the all round ability to make a big impact on the Supermini sector, especially with even cleaner emissions.
The engine itself is slightly unusual in that as well as the latest common-rail injection architecture, it also employs a turbocharger and intercooler. The result is a flatter torque curve than you’ll find in many rival diesel superminis. That means improved engine response and flexibility at a wider range of engine speeds.
The Swift’s handling and packaging are key strong points and both are helped by the fact that the chassis offers the widest track in the class (1470mm wide at the front and 1480 at the back), which in turn translates into the greatest overall width of any supermini (1,690mm). Coupled with a long wheelbase and compact engines, this frees up plenty of room in the cabin and allows for a 213-litre luggage area.
Visually, the Swift is refreshingly different, offering what Suzuki calls a "1.5 box" design. Rather than being an amorphous blob, the Swift has a pronounced bonnet line and a very shapely contour along its shoulders.
The interior is also very different from what we’ve come to expect from Suzuki. Again a wraparound theme dominates, with smoothly curved surfaces and a number of bright ideas.
