Interior
Climbing aboard the new Swift is felt immediately better interior quality, combined with a simple design, simple as Japanese tradition, but at the same time efficient and sporty. The driving position is excellent, with all controls at your fingertips. Spaces on board increased to the benefit of habitability, good for rear passengers. The only sour note, the boot that shines with 211 liters are not certain to capacity. Growing quality plastics and assemblies, treated both as an aesthetic and tactile unfortunate that the driver's seat has memory and must be adjusted again after every opening for the rear passengers to get off. The basic version instead there is no on-board computer series of useful but only on top of the range version. The steering wheel on the basic version is adjustable only in height, and depth setting is available only on versions equipped.
Exterior
With a design so in line with the previous version, the new Swift convinced then as soon especially if ours is the white three-door version. As they say, Never change a winning horse, and that's what Suzuki will also thought, since it's all new, but follows the sporty and enjoyable as its predecessor. More modern and elegant but dynamic ...
Maybe a little edge is given by its own design very similar to the previous version and perhaps a little too conservative.
Security
New Swift provides greater occupant protection, as it has 7 airbags (including new knee airbag) all versions marketed, has a total mass less, is designed to absorb most impacts in the event of shock and have front seats that reduce the risk of "whiplash" in case of tamponade. It also offers greater protection for pedestrians and includes several technology for active safety as the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) provided in conjunction with TCS (Traction Control System). With all this in all categories of assessment rules Euro NCAP (adult protection, child protection, pedestrian protection and security systems) achieved excellent performance thus achieving the maximum total score of 5 stars.
Mechanics
For the launch of "Suzukina" there are two engines meet Euro 5 and reduced fuel consumption and emissions: the 1.2 16V dual VVT variable valve timing has 95 hp, while the 1.3 turbodiesel is 75 hp with 190 Nm at just 1,750 g / m Both are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox or an optional four-speed automatic. Will be available, as is traditional version also Suzuki 4 × 4 with central Torsen differential. The steering is electric type with variable assistance according to speed. The suspensions include a MacPherson layout at the front and a rear axle with interconnected integrated anti-roll bar. The braking system is mixed with discs front and drums at the rear. The weight of the car, despite the increase in size has been reduced by approximately 20 kg and stands for the entry-level 1.2 L to 945 kg.
Behind the wheel
Taking over command of the Suzuki Swift is discovered to be a great driving pleasure. The position is sporty and thanks to the adjustable steering wheel height and depth (optional) is easily the best driving posture. The steering, leather three-spoke on our Top version is direct and accurate reports faithfully the commands given by the pilot. The 1.2 16V is smooth at low speeds and also quite lively, but for the better must be done to turn over 4,000 rpm. In this context, the Swift becomes brilliant, showing a character from sporty. Much of the credit is due also to a very appropriate framework.
The suspension absorbs bumps well the asphalt without showing excessive swaying of the car body, not prone to rolling and pitching. Road then left fully satisfied for an easy and honest behavior, but also dynamic and fun. The Suzukina is agile and immediately instills confidence, while ensuring a good feeling to be driving in urban than in the outside door and more committed. Good also the response of the exchange, a little 'resisted, but the short ride fast and rigorous. Finally the brakes showed no signs of slowing, despite our evidential test has been paid by the weather and on roads demanding little, we could then use the car even more routes on tours and fun, to investigate further the behavior that is inevitably sports and fun on the sector healthy and efficient chassis suspension and maybe a little oversized for the benefit of safety, chassis enhanced in the future that we hope will be the adoption a motor performance.
From a brilliant engine and sophisticated then we will be expecting a higher maximum speed, while the suspensions that filter good asphalt seem a little dry in the responses, good driving fast in sports are obviously in calibrating penalizing perhaps a little comfort at low speeds or use the city.
In an overall assessment of the new Swift but very convincing and immediately both for the conduct of its sports car chassis, and because it is solid and practical car that leaves little room for any criticism, guessed for the promotional price, which until in December will be only € 10,400 for the 1.2 L, a figure which may fall to others thank you very much incentive offered by Suzuki Italy in case of destruction (very common, thanks to the magic economic crisis of self, daughters of a registered global struggles "making numbers"). For those interested in the open door of the Suzuki dealers will be held the weekend of September 18 and 19 over the entire national network in this case you can try this new version of Swift.
