Excellent review. I have three questions though: 1. Was the aircon still switched ON when you were climbing in top gear on the steep incline towards Winnie Mandela Drive? 2. When you was in top gear (5th) traveling at the national speed limit (120 km/h), where was the rev counter sitting at? 3. Relating to question 2, how does this (the gearing) compare to the outgoing car? Does the rev counter sit higher or lower at 120 km/h on the outgoing car? Thanks.

@oliverskinner8962 2 ай бұрын

1. The Aircon was switched off 2. The revs were at 3,500 rpm 3. Previous car was at 3,200 rpm That's just my opinion I doubt you'll get an actual answer it would have been very easy for him to glance the rev counter and tell us all on the video what the revs were sitting at 🙄 I can guarantee this will be better on fuel though especially if you swap the cheap nasty tyres out for premium ones 👌

@Joe98-g4i 2 ай бұрын

Mine is not the latest generation but i don't notice any difference whether the aircon is on or off. I also don't notice any drop in consumption with the aircon on. Mine is geared at 33km/h/1000revs in 5th gear.

On a flat road it goes well, but the slightest of inclines, and the speed drops like crazy. So Suzuki's engines are geared well then. Nice to know.

It's striking to see the differences between the new Swifts in different parts of the world. In Europe (I'm from the Netherlands) all Swifts have the same 3-cylinder engine, but they are supported by a mild hybrid drive. They all have Adaptive Cruise Control with radar, AC, Lane Keep Assist, blind spot recognition, traffic sign recognition and a 9-inch multimedia screen from the basic version. It also has a good audiosysteem with 6 speakers. The dashboard has white parts, which makes everything look a bit fresher. Unfortunately, they are also more expensive than yours.

Older model with the hidden rear handles has the edge on looks but the new model is a street ahead on the interior and equipment but importantly lacks a Sport option. We test drove the new shape and it was nice and very economical as we had a UK SZL model with was well equipped anyway it was a difficult decision well we bought an old shape Sport turns out we were willing to forgoe mpg for the looks, ride and handling of the Sport. Spec wise the only thing the new model lacks is a heated steering wheel had the new model possessed that it might have swung it.

Though here in South Africa, we don't really have a need for a heated steering wheel in our market but then again with budget cars we can only have so much.

I have the previous 2018 model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks like a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model a while back and can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model, and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine. Again I love The Swift as a car, but Suzuki are giving customers nothing new here, in fact they have gone backwards.

I disagree on the opinion on the rear lights. The previous gen has a more distinct and futuristic design with the C shaped led strip that wraps around. The hidden door handles on the previous gen also add to the sportier look. The new one looks basic and dull.

In UK the swift is a mild hybrid. And better equipped. We don't get a budget Swift like this one. Which is a shame as it could be quite the cheap buy. Also I own a Swift and it's made in Japan rather than India. So the minimum Swift is much higher specced.

I have this car. In most cases, the engine is sufficient and does the job. I don't know the terrain in SA, but I have noticed that the car struggles to go up 60 degree inclines and its revs continue to drop to a point where it stops. So half way up, I had to put the hand brake on, rev up the engine to about 2k RPM and continue back on my way.

@alileevil 3 ай бұрын

@ I’m talking about really steep hills. But the engine does struggle at low revs below 1 k which is why I suspect the models sold in Europe come with a hybrid system to give the engine an extra push. I don’t think the hybrid system is sold in SA tho.
