2022 Suzuki Swift Sport POV Test Drive | 0-100 | Hybrid 129 hp

This is my POV test drive of the 2022 Suzuki Swift Sport. It has a mild hybrid petrol engine with 129 hp. I test the car on the highway and on the countryside. I also test the car's acceleration (0-100 km/h).

I own one just like it since september. Done almost 5k km so far (daily to work). It’s 129hp + 13hp from the electric motor that also adds a massi e 53Nm of torque (you can really feel it). I haven’t tested 0-100 with any specific gadget myself, but doing a test with stopwatch, it did it just under 8s. I’ve test driven the non hybrid before buying this one, I’d say there is no difference. Paid 22k€ for it. Great car for the money. Highway at 130kmh it revs around 2900, 120kmh 2750 for anyone wondering. 130 to 160 kmh is super fast, it just pulls and goes. It shines in corners, like a gokart.

[@IguanaFilmArts]

and was is your km/l (when measured at the gas tank not on the digital meter)?:) How much more efficient is it than the non hybrid 140hp version?

[@cogsincogs]

@@IguanaFilmArts Always measured consumption after filling up. Mix of B road and highway I had 5,6l/100km, but you can do 5,3/2 easily if you drive at speed limit and shift sooner. Didn’t drive the non hybrid long enough to measure consumption, but when looking online about it, it was said cca 0,5l difference. I actually sold my Swift a few days ago and got a Passat alltrack. I only miss the Swift in corners. On the highway its night and day (noise, comfort, consumption).

⁠@@cogsincogsHello sir, appreciate your take and I’m surprised you even bothered to test the non hybrid version which I have myself. I’m really contemplating on trading this 2019 one that I have for a brand new mild hybrid one. I just don’t know how long I have till they stop taking orders for it because of the new 2024 Swift model even if the Sport variant hasn’t even been announced but it’s not like I would go for the new one anyway because I don’t like the look of the new Swift at all. As far as I know, the mild hybrid version loses its boost capability at 5k rpm. I personally would even go near the 6.2K limit but obviously that’s situational. I want to test drive the mild hybrid version myself too. Most people say the non hybrid version is faster but it’s very rare that they actually tried both plus stayed rational and not let the whole psychological hybrid element sway their opinion because their love for ICEs. To me it’s more about how it’s actually like to drive, the feeling aspect of it not just which is faster. I’ve read that they actually did change a few things on the mild hybrid version (besides the digital speed view and the parking sensors) slightly different engine tech specs, suspension and I forget the other ones but I’d love to hear your take on this.

[@cogsincogs]

@@miklos1298 Non hybrid vs hybrid there is little difference. I wouldn’t switch from one to the other if I had one already. The biggest difference is no GPF on non hybrid + past 2021 the hybrid can’t be remapped (locked ECU).

[@miklos1298]

@@cogsincogs I see, ty!

[@garywallace1938]

I have the older 2011 version, you really have to get the revs up and it completely changes. Much more responsive throttle and great fun. I bought it for work, it was spares and repairs but I've driven it 25k in 9 months and other than tyres, replacing worn suspension and CV joints it's been really reliable, and ULEZ free for driving around London. Good on the motorway too.

[@canardeur8390]

I like the sound of the engine.

[@bostjanerjavec4146]

Great car:)

[@sifubamonghezi8550]

This car does come in automatic transmission right? And if so is it true automatic or that dual clutch thing that Bm's like to have (new to the whole car scene i dont know much about anything bare with me)

[@alainjoly4649]

bonjour je ne comprend pas pourquoi l hybride est hautemps critiqué j'ai u une 140 chevaux et la vertion 129+13 marche largement aussi bien avec plus de securité une consomation moindre et un super couple l hybridation en 48 volt est plutot un plus

[@Miipple67]

Parce que elle est hybride sûrement pourtant elle est génial je trouve aussi

[@fabriced9612]

Pour avoir eu aussi les 2 elles sont aussi performantes l'une que l'autre

[@Kiwi_NZ610]

I might get a suzuki swift

[@eduardomartin2574]

Hi there how do you get the cars to make this kind of test?

[@carstanpovdriving]

These are Belgian press cars which I get to review for my local car related website. It's linked on my channel page if you're curious. The POV drives are a small bonus on top of my written reviews.

[@daodiquang]

What is the different Suzuki sports 2020 vs 2022?

[@carstanpovdriving]

It’s a mild hybrid now

[@JoeBlack9]

👍

[@matejkopacka3169]

Hey Joe! you should try swift sport too!

[@MarduK999]

At 7:06, there is a BONK !

[@romenmartindiaz439]

you should make some proper accelerations to feel this car power

[@ogloftus]

Lol what power

[@IguanaFilmArts]

@@ogloftus Always look at hp/tonne, this thing with a minor tune already will wreck your BMW in the bendies.

[@ogloftus]

@@IguanaFilmArts what BMW I have a MK8.5 Fiesta ST

[@IguanaFilmArts]

@@ogloftus Very nice hot hatch you got. Though don't underestimate this car. With both receiving a tune the ZC33S will actually have more torque while having the same HP/tonne as your Ford Fiesta. Being 215kg lighter on a road or track with turns and bends you will have a very hard time keeping up with a similairly tuned ZC33S. So writing "what power?" Makes it seem like you only care for 0-100 times...

[@ogloftus]

@@IguanaFilmArts if I cared about 0-100 I wouldn’t have bought an ST it’s a better car all round and I can get a map with 250bhp and 390nm

[@romenmartindiaz439]

you drive so soft the hole video, its okay but you should make some accelerations in the proper road

[@carstanpovdriving]

It only has 129 hp, 2:55 for example was full throttle until I reached 120 km/h. 8:50 is another example. Also I (try to) respect the speed limits. Those can be annoyingly low but it is what it is.

[@rokibuca]

@@carstanpovdriving then shift down this car is fun when you drive it at 4-5k rpm

[@haisitir]

@@carstanpovdriving still driving too soft in respect to the rpm. Going full throttle at 2000rpm won't provide the necessary power to reach 120km fast. I know it's bad for the engine but try to do some short bursts of acceleration at 4000-6000rpm to provide an answer for future viewers.

[@B0bik]

​@@haisitirDriving with low rpm with full throttle is not good for the engine as well.
