Suzuki has announced some minor changes to the Swift and S-Cross ranges for the spring as well as the introduction of a new Swift derivative; the SZ4 five door 4×4 with Dualjet engine.
This new model replaces the outgoing SZ4 4×4 and offers improved fuel economy, lower CO2 emissions and a lower VED band too.
The SZ4 Dualjet 4×4 has CO2 emissions of just 111g/km and an EC Combined fuel consumption figure of 58.8mpg, representing a 15g/km reduction and 7.5mpg improvement versus the outgoing SZ4 4×4 model.
The Swift is available in five specification grades, SZ2, SZ3, SZ-L, SZ4 and Sport with 1.6-litre engine. All models offer seven airbags and ESP as standard, front passenger airbag deactivation facility, electric front windows, remote central door locking with deadlocks, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, MP3/WMA compatible CD tuner with USB port and steering wheel mounted audio controls.
As part of the latest Swift range updates, all five door models now have electric rear windows as standard equipment and Amethyst Grey metallic has been discontinued due to lower demand. The highly acclaimed Sport model is now available in Galactic Grey metallic which replaces Silky Silver metallic and Bright Red has now been discontinued from the S-Cross range.
The spare wheel/tyre is now deleted from the Swift and S-Cross ranges and both include a temporary repair kit in line with the Celerio and soon to be launched Vitara models. For customers that prefer, a spare wheel is offered as an accessory and will be available from the dealer network or online.
Pricing for the Swift range starts at £8,999 for the three-door 1.2 SZ2 manual.
