NEW & OLD Suzuki Swift comparison | How much has actually changed? UK 4K

[@SydneyDrums]

A lot of people in the comments here saying they prefer the old swift but once you get used to looking at the new one and especially once you drive it and it's brand-new and it handles better and it's quieter and smoother and the information screen for maps and CarPlay is up higher right in front of you .. the new car will win you over because it is just so much better

[@shagsheep8832]

Until you find your fuel savings are outweighed by the costs of servicing or repairing the "mild hybrid" components, which will occur.

I am a driving instructor and I do freelance work for Young Driver, we are just about to change from our current Vauxhall Corsa to the new Suzuki Swift, I am so excited and your clip has made me more excited. Thank you!!

Old one is much better looking. Not the first time designers ruins things with new model. The old one was very reliable too.

[@killianlpc]

Agree is basically a facelift that have made things worse. The engine is so under powered compared to The Boosterjet that was in old model.

@@killianlpc Today it's popular to make weaker engines. Most cars have only 1.0 and 3 cylinders. My old Peugeot 206 is still faster and mobile than today's car. Never touched the engine, reliable as hell.

I prefer the old Swift. I prefer the dash in the old Swift and the grill as well as where the logo is and it has nicer alloys too. Old Swift wins it for me. The touchscreen in the new Swift looks like an afterthought whereas in the old one it was nicely integrated into the dash. So much nicer.

[@uuryzc]

Old one is much better looking. Just put the new model's front grill with same line radar sensor and suzuki logo. You can also put better and faster computer from new model (same position as old one though). That's it. They also ruined beautiful retro round style with this new dashboard. Oh and old model with ''hidden rear door'' looks much cooler and better too !!!. Also this old model is not premium GLX one with digital air conditioner and double color too. I am glad they did not ruin beautiful steering :D and used the same one though !.

[@ehall9149]

Older swift is a cracking car. My favourite feature was that the infotainment was not connected to the rest of the car, so if it breaks it is no issue for operating the vehicle. However the new swift styling is really growing on me.

[@noelbodle8863]

Great comparison but I much prefer the old model, I’ve had all three previous versions of the Swift. My current one is the top speck SZ5 and I love it and is my favourite of all the Swifts I’ve owned. This new model just looks awful though, I really dislike the look and I’m not particularly keen on the interior either. I cannot see myself buying one of these, shame as they’ve all been incredibly reliable to own and a great looking car in my opinion. Think they may have lost a loyal following as they’ve had a great reputation. I am hearing a lot of negativity about this new car.

[@killianlpc]

The 1.0 Boosterjet engine so much more powerful than this under powered 1.2 3cyl unit. The Swift from 2018 was so economical anyway no need for more economy, but it is a huge loss of power from 109bhp down to 83bhp you will really notice when overtaking. Apart from a larger infotainment system it looks almost identical inside. I would the say the dash actually looks much better on old model.

[@suhagpatel7765]

In India, Swift is an emotion. I have a gen 2 swift with diesel engine. This fourth generation interior and exterior doesn’t look sporty and doesn’t come with powerful engine. Most of the car manufacturers are nowadays focusing on features, we don’t want that. We want good engine, gearbox, clutch, good drivability, better safety and awesome looks. We don’t want sunroof, 360 camera, auto climate control and mild hybrid kind of gimmick features.

[@markblah9893]

Correct ......

[@ashneel]

Any swift made in India sucks.. also for those horrible roads and virtually no traffic rules there, what do you want to do with drivability..

manual knob style A/C controls with slider for external air mixing is better in terms of functionality compared to the new one, slider allows for recirculation/fresh air mixing according to your liking instead of just switching between recirculation/fresh air transfer mode.

Hope they are update their range with all new models soon as it would be a shame to lose this manufacturer in the uk!

[@chrissmith2114]

[@Spiritof1955]

Sun Visors... no mention of these. Have they improved them on the new model? I found them a little short on the old model, leaving quite large gaps at either end which annoyingly allowed the Sun to sneak through and dazzle you.

[@otter638]

This new engine is brilliant. Overall a definite improvement on the old model. Way better inside and I even prefer the outside with much nicer lights. The big difference for me is the much improved display with better camera and Bluetooth Apple car play. Finally the significant improvement is the lessening of road noise. I’m taking delivery of one this week. This will be my fifth Suzuki over the years.

[@iv_ynne]

Hello, may I ask you how you are finding the new swift with 3 cylinders in comparison to the older ones you had (if they were 4cyl.)? I'm debating if I should replace my old swift from '06 (4 cylinders and 1400 cc) with one of these new ones.

[@MM-qw6dp]

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

So, is the old 1.0 Turbo completely gone? I hope they still offer it in my country, we have a lot of high altitude cities where the 1.2 naturally aspirated will suffer.

[@AmitGupta-zm1wg]

I think the fact that now it's a 3 cyl unit instead of the erstwhile 4 cyl. Some comparison in the refinement levels should have been done. Even more so since you mentioned that online people are concerned about this change.

[@vernhill-wv7pp]

I think this engine change is the biggest disappointment in the new Swift.You can't beat a good old 4 cylinder. The Swift was one of the last remaining small cars with one and now it's gone.I guess it was forced on them (emmissions).

[@Kahvetrip]

Thank you! I wonder how quiter is the new model? Same? Slightly? or quite? I test drove the old one and the noise in the cabin was extremely loud (both motor and the road).

[@paul-k5q5z]

top reviews on both suzuki swift 24 reg models i like the newer one best.the spec wins.😁

[@momchilyordanov8190]

I have no idea why they changed the motor. I have a 2017 Baleno and the motor is excellent. It is 1.2 petrol, 90 hp and really economical. My record, outside city, driving 50-55 mph was 4l/100. That is 70 MPG in British lingo. What is there to change? And being 4 cylinder, it is silky smooth. When waiting on a red light, I cannot understand if it's working or not, if not looking at the rev counter. This new one is not lighter either. My Baleno (which is a bit bigger than this) weighs 960kg! I feel it's a change for the sake of a change.

[@SuperHit-90]

Old Swift is much better than the new one.

[@cihancom]

It's a great video, thank you for your effort. The Swift 2022 model I drive gives a great driving experience. I didn't even think about the new body.😊With love from Cyprus🌹🥀🌺

[@s1_auds]

Written perspective as the video progresses: The older swift looks much more smarter and elegant, better looking overall. With that reverse camera positioning, although it may get dirtier much quicker, i'd prefer that and just give it a wipe with a microfibre cloth or something every once in a while as it does not look very neat having it randomly placed in the middle of the boot. Those rear doors ... yes, has pros and cons as discussed, I prefer them up high though. It feels different and unique, as only very few other car manufactures have this (i.e nissan juke, reno clio) but the electric windows are an improvement for 2024. I've always preferred the interiors of older models, I really dislike how when a manufacturer announces a facelift, they place an almost ugly-looking, large screen in the centre of the dashboard which doesn't fit. This is me talking in general, and this is what Suzuki has done as a prime example for me. I just think it looks tacky, it should be hidden/tucked into the dashboard as on the older model. I just think it suits an SUV, but not a little car like this. Even if the graphics of the screen looks more washed out in comparison, I also dislike how the cars are made to be technologically advanced to remain in competition. Why can we not have analogue dials and a small dashboard screen anymore... why has it got to be a full digital, increasing the price of what is meant to be these cheap run-around vehicles. The only thing i'd take is the new infotainment, providing it was integrated and the heated seats with the outgoing dashboard gauges and rear electric windows in terms of the interior. And for the exterior, I would want the outgoing design.

[@juvenesmith8356]

I personally prefer the older model Swift. It looks more classy. (Besides I have a black 2023 model and I just love it!) The newer model just looks too "basic" , just my opinion!

[@ReallyVirtual]

The problem I have with the new one is that I have a 2019 SZ5 Swift. It looks better, has 30 more HP, 58NM more torque and is almost as economical (I get from 44-59mpg realworld). I consider the new model a big downgrade.

[@AutoSocialUK]

That's true. Compared to the 2023 model it doesn't seem like a loss but the old engines were far superior.

[@sunilayya8948]

I too have a previous gen 1.0 turbo with a good old 6 speed auto. Would not change it for the world. It is easily the best non sport swift ever.

Stopping the production of the excellent 4 cylinder motor was a grave mistake. 4 cylinder units run smooter and blowers (turbos)can be problematic and expensive to replace.

The Mazda 2 is a brilliant car. I bought the auto petrol variant new in 2011. Great driving dynamics, and a mechanical gem. Recently traded it in while it still had life left and got a 2024 Mazda 2. I considered other subcompact cars and subcompact SUVs but the Mazda 2 came out on top. Well-made, best looking subcompact car (inside and out), I appreciate Mazda's approach to tech, and great driving dynamics. The old Suzuki Swift was high on my list (we don't have the new one in Australia). I was interested in the highest trim - the GLX Turbo (3cyl 1.0 T petrol auto). But I preferred the looks and interior of the Mazda 2. I have never had a car with a turbo before - so I was wary about that. Edit: Tish did a fantastic video about the Mazda 2 on the John Banks Reviews channel.
