Suzuki has placed a 140PS, 1.4-litre four-cylinder Boosterjet turbo engine into this supermini. Giving its hot hatch status. The engine technology produces the same level of power and torque as a normal aspirated 2-litre engine.
You may think this quick little car won’t be good on fuel, but the 50.4mpg stat from Suzuki would suggest otherwise. This new engine is 10% lighter than the previous model, helping with the improved fuel economy. Accelerate from 0-62mph in 8.1-seconds and has a top speed of 130ph (where permitted).
Suzuki has paired this performance engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. A highly tuned gear change has been developed by Suzuki technicians to provide an optimal gear shift with a 10% shorter throw. We can’t talk about the Suzuki Swift Sport’s engine without mentioning the specially tuned twin exhaust system, tuned to produce low-frequency notes at lower speeds. Giving it that throaty sound when driving around town.
