Motor Torque with David Berthon

Suzuki has released pricing and details of its latest small Swift range with prices
starting from $24,490 drive-away. The three-model Swift range is powered by a
1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with mild hybrid assistance and is available
in either five-speed manual or CVT automatic. The engine’s electric motor
/generator is claimed to contribute outputs of 2.3kW and 60Nm assisting low
speed acceleration powered by a 12-volt lithium-ion battery. The Japanese small
car manufacturer claiming manual fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km on the
combined city/country cycle and 4.0L/100km for the automatic. The Japanese-
built Suzuki Swift is one of our most enduring small hatchbacks, the second best
selling light hatch behind the recently superseded Chinese-built MG3. However,
the recent launch of the latest MG3 saw price increases of $7,000 and the mild
hybrid Suzuki Swift now undercuts the MG3 Excite by $500. I’m David Berthon
