About the Suzuki Swift A2L
The A2L-generation Suzuki Swift, launched in 2017, prioritised weight reduction by utilising the 'HEARTECT' platform, making it one of the lightest cars in its class. The 1.2-litre Dualjet engine uses twin fuel injectors per cylinder to improve thermal efficiency, delivering a punchy character despite its modest output. In SZ-T trim, it offers a balanced specification with 16-inch alloys and a touchscreen infotainment system. Its low kerb weight of just 840kg ensures agile handling and impressive real-world fuel economy, maintaining the Swift's reputation as a fun-to-drive, honest supermini.
