A real hybrid? Testing Suzuki’s cut-priced hatchback (Suzuki Swift Hybrid 2024 Review)

[@brownhairydog6472]

I'm sure the Mg is a good car but Suzuki and the swift have bullet proof reliability reputation. I guess that's worth something.

[@alileevil]

Its better than the MG. There is a video from the UK reviewing the two and the Suzuki is the better vehicle overall.

[@garethnicol52]

It uses a JATCO CVT.. Avoid JATCO CVT at all costs.

[@koddesa]

I'm sorry, but the design refresh looks terrible, but that interior looks quite comfy

[@ubernoob103]

I’m Tombakeeerrr This is chasingcaaars

[@DavidAshton]

Good to see a reviewer thinking like most Aussie buyers. Unlike some who go for the best car, it is the overall cost of the car with purchase cost, maintenance costs and running costs which most Aussies think about, then the reliability factor seals the deal. $24,990 driveaway for a manual swift is a winner to me.

[@navneetkumar466]

Swift is a dependable vehicle you can count on it!

[@needleontherecord]

I looked at one of these new and the actual fuel consumption saved isn’t great and not as good as claimed. It’s the low rent materials used I just couldn’t deal with, for a price between 22k and 29k. You can tell it’s been built to a price in India. I ended up buying a Yaris hybrid that was two years old with 10k kms on the clock and a 4 year warranty from Toyota.

[@whatthe6532]

Yay Tom. Nice to see you again.

[@jameshanley9828]

Tom, great review as always but you did not mention the lack of a spare wheel and the inclusion of a goo kit.

[@GlowingTube]

$30K for this gutless wonder!

[@MeMurphy10Feb]

Amazingly the rear seat room is better than pretty much all the big family SUV/Adventure vehicles - sure wont be the case for 3 in the back but neither are they. All current utes are terrible and even the 300 series is really ordinary. I am constantly amazed by what the designers are focused on.

[@rjbiker66]

The old GLX got you a turbo engine and 6 speed auto

[@simonporphy]

The warranty on the car in Ireland is 7 yrs for the swift why 5 yrs in Australia?

[@aussielegend8576]

I'd probably spend the extra 20 dollars a week over 5 years for the premium model

[@alanchalkley8743]

How many litres does the fuel tank hold?

[@c.s2001]

Thanks for this review.

[@gregj7916]

Design is terrible compared to the gen 3, think the old 205 GTI was under 800kg, safe as a cardboard box.

[@Wieeeeee]

Will there be a Swift Sport?

[@one-rv2bx]

I'm so glad I don't need a new plastic data-tracking vehicle

[@markuc]

Doesn't make sense that you don't compare this with other options at this price range, esp the Korean or Chinese ones that have far better materials, power, and value.

[@rubyred8845]

The front end is ugly. Why bother putting hybrid into a 3 cylinder car, just for marketing? It would be already fuel efficient.

[@TheStagswag]

Why get this over a i30 hybrid

[@alileevil]

Because Hyundais are trash.

[@TheStagswag]

Ok China car lover

[@PurplePandaGuy88]

Maybe because i30s are more expensive

[@TheStagswag]

@PurplePandaGuy88 not more expensive than this

[@TheStagswag]

@@PurplePandaGuy88 you can get i30 hybrids for less than 30k

[@ghostridertom]

Swift = Swift Sport or the smallest car with a 4x4. Great versions for a small car.

[@fred3527]

In my local mall (Melbourne) they are advertising a new MG3 for $24990 drive away & a 10 year warranty. Comparitively the Swift doesn't appear to be a bargain.

[@vladthe3rd414]

Yeah but MG is 💩

[@fred3527]

@@vladthe3rd414 I'm personally not ready to buy an MG, but each successive model gets better and better. By the next generation they might be hard to ignore.

[@WildDanHibiki]

​I've heard so many horror stories about MG engine failures after a few years of ownership. I would avoid the brand until it matures a bit more.

[@whlawson5812]

For 10 year warranty to survive the MG parent company, in China, firstly needs to survive the current turmoil in China having great cut neck price competition.

[@wasteland24]

Suzuki bringing back the Altezza taillights 😂

[@tldrinfographics5769]

MG4 not this. These legacy makers are too comfortable ripping us off

[@kch9286]

$24K car with 2 speaks, wow SUZUKI

[@sad6549775]

So, if you have any idea of cars, dedicating a budget of $20k used and remaining for fuel and repairs, is the only way. In the past, the argument was new and warranty. That argument is no longer true. If anyone in the market watching this video, just get a lexus is250!

[@dennischeng4391]

this is a real good deal bro

[@macfie9331]

Looks as swift as a bar of soap.

[@BennnWJK]

Looks like a fish

[@one-rv2bx]

A gay fish, like Kanye West.

[@unknown1859]

Still cheaper than Corolla, Yaris, Mazda 3.

[@CoolTechUS]

Corolla and 3 are bigger cars

[@hxxxhyyy3208]

fake hybrid and really expensive

[@stephenarbon2227]

its a real hybrid, but you can't drive on electric alone, in effect, its instead of the turbo & the 4th piston. The price has been around that level for 3 years is what it is for a Japanese car, and similar price to Mazda 2.
