Suzuki Swift Review: Sport 1.6 - Performance

Reviewed by Shawn Jooste

Performance

Powered by a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine, the Swift Sport produces 100kW, which is really impressive, and feels even more impressive when you drive it. Throttle response is good, and 160Nm of Torque helps hurl this little car along nicely. The chassis and suspension setup is of a more sporty nature, resulting in sharp accurate handling. While some ride comfort has been sacrificed for the sportiness, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the balance of comfort and sportiness. In a straight line, the Swift Sport will get you from 0-100km/h in under 9 seconds. The high revving 1.6 produces a smooth power curve through all the gears.
