We video review the 2024 Suzuki Swift RSC Hybrid.
With a nameplate that dates back to 1984 (the export name for the Suzuki Cultus), the Suzuki Swift made its significant debut in its current form back in 2005. With a remarkable 9 million units sold since its inception, the unveiling of the all-new fourth-generation Suzuki Swift marks a pivotal moment in its legacy.
This latest iteration introduces two distinct trims, the GLS and the RSC, with the GLS model catering to manual transmission enthusiasts. Retaining its distinctive silhouette, the 2024 Swift undergoes a visual transformation, blending its iconic shape with contemporary aesthetic elements. Notable features include a striking piano black front grille, sleek L-shaped LED headlamps, and a sporty rear design featuring a slanting tailgate, wide bumper, and integrated spoiler, enhancing its overall dynamic appeal.
Powering this new Suzuki supermini is a 1.2L 3-cylinder engine paired with manual or CVT transmissions, delivering modest yet efficient performance. With its mild hybrid system, the Swift achieves impressive fuel economy at 4L/100km and meets environmentally conscious standards with low CO2 emissions.
Stepping inside, the cabin boasts a modern dual-tone design, intuitive driver-focused controls, and a standard 9-inch infotainment display supporting various digital functionalities. The system integrates seamlessly with smartphones through Bluetooth, Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and voice recognition, while providing real-time vehicle data on fuel efficiency and hybrid energy flow via the instrument panel.
Enhancements extend to the redesigned front seats, offering improved comfort and a contemporary geometric pattern on the upholstery. Additional features like seat heaters in the RSA model, ample storage solutions, and a generous 265-litre luggage capacity further elevate the Swift's practicality.
Continuously evolving to meet market demands, the 2024 hybrid Swift models blend a refreshed design, advanced technologies, and enhanced performance, ensuring it remains a compelling choice for contemporary drivers seeking a stylish, functional, and affordable compact car — even catering to manual driving enthusiasts.
