How Far Can The 2024 Suzuki Swift Go On One Tank?!

[@CarObsession]

Good afternoon everyone! Thank you very much for spending time to watch my fuel economy test on the new Suzuki Swift. *Apologies the audio is patchy at times, I had issues with my voice recorder, which have since been resolved.*

Impressive mpg from a petrol car and really makes diesel quite irellevent these days.

[@CarObsession]

Thanks Steve, it's pretty amazing isn't it?

[@leewafer4585]

Great car and amazing economy,

[@CarObsession]

Hi there, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment., I hope you enjoyed the video.

The Swift is a competent, great little car. Their only issue is they suffer badly from stone chipping, particularly on the bonnet/hood, so I'd include in the budget, a clear protective vinyl wrap on this area.

[@CarObsession]

Not a bad shout!

[@chasbrown7303]

Yes, I noticed that on a few Swifts at a local dealer which were only 2-3 yr old. My Suzuki Celerio also has stone chips, even though its only done about 36K miles

[@CarObsession]

@chasbrown7303 I've heard of some Hondas being prone to stone chipping, could it be quality of paint Japanese manufacturers use? 🤔

[@chasbrown7303]

@CarObsession you would think Japanese paint quality would match build quality...but guess it's the modern world now..different

Very good little car keep up the good work

[@CarObsession]

Thank you Michael 👍🏽

[@alanbarclay2695]

Great review. Maybe try again with E5 petrol? Slightly better mpg.

[@CarObsession]

Good point Alan 👌🏽. The car was delivered with virtually a full tank, though, which I assume would have been E10. Thanks for watching.

Had a test drive in one of these pretty pleasant drive didn't feel underequipped or too slow if you stick near to speed limits. Personally looks wise I prefer the last gen which we have. I feel much better about owning a Swift rather than say a Dacia. All depends what you pay for the car if you are NHS police etc you qualify for a useful discount.

[@CarObsession]

Yes, I also prefer the look of the last car, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

[@sidjyothi]

Haha...i have the same sound meter...god knows if its accurate.. But the swift is definitely more quiet than my honda jazz...the jazz does 81dB at motorway speeds lolz😂

[@CarObsession]

81? I've used the sound meter on many cars and only got that kind of reading with modified cars with loud exhausts 😅.

[@sidjyothi]

@@CarObsession not kidding. It’s incredibly noisy at motorway speeds.. does 68-72db city speeds. Perfect city car, less than perfect highway car. That’s why I’m getting rid of it for a MG3 hybrid

[@B33ond]

What about the Ignis? Would get similar MPG?

[@CarObsession]

Hi there, thanks for watching and for the comment. The Ignis has a fuel economy figure of 56.9 whereas the Swift is 64.2, so a noticeable difference.

[@mikenewbold1699]

12.5 seconds to 60 in 2024 is wild. my 1l citroen saxo was quicker than that 20 years ago. dangerous on motroways full of teslas than have instant power

[@CarObsession]

I can see where you're coming from but at no point on my extensive drive did I feel it was dangerous. Thanks for watching.

[@mikenewbold1699]

@@CarObsession maybe that word was bit much. but can't imagine wanting to pay near 20k for one why isn't this a 12-14k car like it should be

[@CarObsession]

@@mikenewbold1699 Because the cost of new car has got out of hand. To think a Suzuki Swift is around £20K mark just seems mental .
