Suzuki Swift Sport Hybrid 48V: 0-100 acceleration, instrument cluster menus, start/stop system

[@Ieteelstoem]

For all owners of a European Suzuki K14C engine; Suzuki has developed a new software for the Engine Control Module. This new software improves performance due to a less drastic power limitation when lower quality fuel is detected. It’s available at your official Suzuki dealership.

Just what I was looking for, thank you, very well made!

[@briangriffiths114]

Other testers have also confirmed that Suzuki has hugely understated this car's acceleration times. Very informative and well-made video, thank you.

The 9.1 second is because Suzuki reports the worst case scenario if the hybrid system is not charged.

Good work! 😉👍

[@mariovieira6675]

Hi, congratulation great car! With the stock exhaust the car is more slow? The new exhaust was easy to put? Thank you.

[@Ieteelstoem]

Mário Vieira Thanks! I haven’t really driven the car with the stock exhaust, so don’t know the difference. There is a big difference in weight of the exhaust system! And yes, it’s very easy to install. Removing the original is only 2 bolts!

Hello, how many rpms it has on 6th gear at 130km/h? Previous Swift Sport (standard non-Hybrid version 1.4 BoosterJet 103kW) had 3000rpm @ 130km/h on 6th gear. Thank you.

[@Ieteelstoem]

Hello, the car has about 2900rpm at 130km/h

[@Ieteelstoem]

@iNSTAGiB The system continuously monitors the charge. I’ve never seen below 1 bar. Even if the battery should be used completely, it will quickly be charged by the ISG

[@cocosloan3748]

Third gear takes 2 sec of time - otherwise if 2ND was longer time 0-100 would be 5 sec 💪

[@robertowen8281]

Na it doesn't work exactly like that because you would have to lengthen 2nd gear reasonably significantly so it could hit 60 in second. That would mean that the torque at the wheels would be less for 2nd gear so it wouldn't accelerate as hard. It may help the time but you would loose a second or so from the longer gearing. If the person could change gear faster that would help!!

I actually think the 1.2 hybrid version sounds better, it has more character. Im surprised by that.

[@cirian75]

Thank you Changing at 5000 with a near full battery is almost 2 sec faster than claimed by Suzuki.

[@JorvikCalder]

my swift sport 2020 hybrid (bog standard) did 6,6sec/100km/h on dry weather with TC enabled. these little hot hatches are really understated.

[@gonzagnr2]

great video, thank you. let me ask you some questions. 1- is there any chance to disable that "start and stop" feature?? 2- when you are in first gear, moving the car below 15km/h, the engine is off??? in first gear it seems to be faster than the k14c version, however above 5000 rpm is dead, like a turbo diesel. 3- jugding by the way it looks, do you think the turbo is even smaller than in the k14c??? because i have heard the turbo is different. thank you.

[@Ieteelstoem]

gonzagnr2 Thanks! 1-yes, simply push a button. 2-only in neutral below 15km/h, so when rolling to a stop. 3-they went for more torque/drive ability with less peak hp and less emissions

[@gonzagnr2]

@@Ieteelstoem thank you for the reply. did you ask at suzuki when buing the car why the electric assitance turn off above 5000 rpm??? in my opinion, since the turbo is so small and breathless at high rpm, the electric assitance must push until rev limiter.

[@9712teo]

@@gonzagnr2 since an electric motor has also torque and efficiency characteristics, I guess at very high RPM it's simply not viable to keep it powered. Anyway I didn't asked Suzuki so I could be wrong

[@gasparinizuzzurro6306]

@@gonzagnr2 Electric engines usually have small and vanishing torque when they reach the maximum RPMs. By constrast, at very low RPMs torque is very high.

[@Ieteelstoem]

Agree, if you drive your turbo glowing hot. In regular usage, modern oils are capable enough to ‘stick’ to all engine parts untill next restart

[@giovannimartinelli3232]

Hi! very intersting video!!! thank u!!! have you driven the swift sport 140hp? can you say if there are big differencies between the hybrid and that one (140hp)? i know that the "old one" really had more than 140hp, 155hp i know...i dont know if also the hybrid will has more than 129hp delcared...do you know spmething about it? thank you a lot!!!

[@Ieteelstoem]

giovanni martinelli Yes I have. To me it feels the hybrid version (K14D) has more torque in midrange (2500-5000rpm). The previous K14C pulls harder to the redline. In the comments of the HKS exhaust video we talk about this as well!

[@Ieteelstoem]

rob It’s only the section after the catalyst and GPF so I guess it’s more the ‘feeling of speed’ (=sound)

[@monteroni_di_lecce8568]

Did someone drive the 140 and the 129 hp version? Which one felt more dynamic?

[@Ieteelstoem]

Thank you very much for this interesting video! It is very useful, considering that at present time no tests from journal are yet available. I drove the car and I can say that it is faster that declared and very fun! Especially on mountain roads! I have a question! I don't undestand what happened when you did 7.34..I mean, when did you change from first to second gear? What was the final gear reached before the end of the video? Thank you very much!

[@Ieteelstoem]

Emanuele Pintaldi no problem! In The video on 2:03 shift from first to second gear. 2:05 shift to third gear. It’s not possible to drive 100km/h in second gear.

Great video! But pls, can u try to acc 0-100 starting from second gear and revving to cca 5k rpm for third gear?

[@91DarioAsr]

In your video it seems like it’s as fast as the previous one. So why do they announced it as a 1 second slower in your opinion? Also I would like to ask you a question nobody did yet (or I never read it). If you would have had the possibility to choose one of them for free, which one would you choose and why? numbers and prices aside! Only feelings and fun. Thank you in advance I would really appreciate your reply

[@Ieteelstoem]

91DarioASR maybe they wanted to play safe. In general, Suzuki performs mostly better than announced. For daily usage, I would go with the K14D 48V without a doubt. The car feels like it has definitely more midrange torque and overal smooth driving. It’s better equipped and will be more efficient in fuel consumption. Only as a track car, I might consider the K14C since there are many aftermarket parts available and it has a little more power in high RPM (+5000)

[@91DarioAsr]

Ieteelstoem thank you very much for this comment

[@marcopanzeri619]

Hi, I've got the same car very recently. Just a question: when the car is accelerating and I press the clutch to change gear I feel like the engine continues revving for a bit, it's sort of delayed; it seems like you also have this "problem", am I right?
