Redesigned on the exterior and interior of the cabin without losing its timeless style, equipped with updated driver assistance systems and a new 1.2L engine with 12V SHVS mild hybrid system, the Suzuki Swift 4th generation arrived in Greece.
The popular little has been released to date in 169 countries, with total sales of over 9 million by February 2024.
AND compact car, It was and continues to be fun to drive, it strongly promotes the benefits of fuel economy and low emissions, whilst now combining performance with extra comfort and, of course, safety.
New Fastin particular, it leaves its mark on the market with a starting price of €18,450 and a 5-year warranty, with a redesigned grille with black grilles and characteristic L-shaped lighting bodies, which blend harmoniously with the rounded lines of the guards. sludge.
The strong side lines, combined with the flowing lines of the roof, give the new generation a distinct vitality, while the model’s dynamic and fun character is further emphasized by the three-dimensional taillights and wide rear bumper.
The color range consists of 9 monochromatic and 4 bicolor options, while new striking colors are also included, such as Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic It is Cool Metallic Yellow.
The new Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic, like the striking Burning Red Pearl Metallic, has an intense, lively and distinctive tone, and symbolizes the new generation of Suzuki colors.
Both options consist of a triple layer of color, offering rich texture and high-quality shades. The “sweet look” paint is a 3D overlay paint where a clear paint is applied over a silver base coat, followed by a clear coat. This creates a vivid, deep, caramel-like color.
Frontier Blue Pearl Metallic and Burning Red Pearl Metallic are ‘candy-like colors’.
The new Swift features comfort and spacious cabin, with refined and ergonomic design, offering the best driving experience.
According to the company, the driving position of the new Swift was designed to offer not only excellent ergonomics, but also an immersive driver experience, with driver-centric controls ensuring ease of use.
The instruments on the corresponding panel are easy to read and uninterrupted visibility is the driver’s ally in urban traffic. The elegant black and light gray tones on the dashboard surfaces and front door trims, combined with the satin finish and dark silver details, enhance the dynamic and sporty appearance of the interior.
O touch screen 9-inch HD offers fast and accurate response to every touch. It is compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Through wireless connection to the cell phone and USB connection, it supports voice recognition, plays music via Bluetooth® and displays information about the vehicle’s status.
One range radar and a camera are used together to detect vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle and help avoid frontal, diagonal and side collisions.
When a risk of collision is detected, audible and visual warnings are activated. If the driver does not brake sufficiently, brake assistance is automatically activated to help slow the vehicle.
In the event of a greater likelihood of collision, the system automatically activates the brakes to help reduce impact force and limit material damage.
When the adaptive cruise control system is activated, the lane keeping system helps the driver stay in the lane. Additionally, if it detects an adjacent vehicle or other obstacle too close to the driver’s vehicle, it provides steering assistance to maintain a safe distance.
Using a camera integrated into the instrument panel, the driver’s eyes and face are detected. If the system detects that the driver is drowsy, has fallen asleep or is not looking at the road, an audible warning is activated accompanied by a corresponding indication on the instrument panel display.
Additional security systems:
– Lane departure prevention system
– Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
– Traffic sign recognition function
– Blind spot monitor
– Rear Cross Traffic Assist (RCTA)
– eCall emergency call system
The new design The new Swift’s 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine achieves thermal efficiency of up to 40% (RON95 fuel), resulting in better fuel economy.
Other features include reduced weight, reduced emissions and increased torque at low rpm for better response and overall performance.
Also, the number of emitted particles (PN) decreased suppressing incomplete combustion that can occur at higher compression ratios and using a three-way catalytic converter and a gasoline particulate filter called a GPF (gasoline particulate filter).
In the new Swift the engine is combined with the 12V SHVS mild hybrid system to further improve environmental performance. The SHVS mild hybrid system converts the kinetic energy generated during deceleration and stores it in the lithium-ion battery.
O ISG electric motor (Integrated Starter Generator) assists the engine during acceleration for greater fuel efficiency. The 5-speed gearbox has been specially optimized for the new engine and transmission to ensure high fuel economy and power.
Lever timing and travel have been optimized to reduce the force required when changing gears, and the degree of stiffness of the convergent shifter spring has been optimized to ensure smooth, light gear engagement.
Finally, models with automatic gearbox adopt a newly designed and manufactured high-performance CVT gearbox suitable for the new engine. The torque converter uses a damper that has lower stiffness and effectively absorbs the engine’s rotational fluctuations, improving NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) performance and fuel economy.
