2024 Suzuki Swift Revealed! Everything You Need to Know

Thanks to Suzuki Japan for the images.

The 2024 Suzuki Swift has officially been unveiled, showcasing its evolution in design, technology, and safety, positioning it as a strong contender against rivals like the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai i20, and Citroen C3. The Swift, initially presented in concept form, is now detailed in its final model for the Japanese market, emphasizing its advancements and appeal in the competitive city car segment.

Design-wise, the 2024 Suzuki Swift maintains its characteristic aesthetic while introducing subtle changes. The front end is marked by an oval grille with integrated radar and distinctive trapezoidal LED headlights. The profile is refreshed with a floating 'C' pillar, abandoning the previously hidden door handles for a more conventional approach. The Swift also offers custom two-tone paintwork and features unique blacked-out tail lights that integrate into the car's sides.

Inside, the Swift presents a driver-focused dashboard, available in various shades, blending traditional and modern elements. The cabin features a 9-inch touchscreen, a redesigned steering wheel, and an instrument cluster with traditional dials. Keyless entry, digital climate control, and stylish, geometrically patterned upholstery enhance the interior's comfort and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the Swift incorporates the Suzuki Connect app, offering 24-hour assistance, smartphone-based status checks, and a driving recording function, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Under the hood, the Swift 2024 is powered by a new 1.2-litre Z12E three-cylinder petrol engine, available with a CVT automatic transmission and the option of front or all-wheel drive. The mild-hybrid variant improves efficiency and reduces fuel consumption, featuring energy recuperation during deceleration and an electric parking brake.

In terms of safety and technology, the Swift integrates the Suzuki Safety Support system, which includes cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning and assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera. Advanced features like autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beam headlights enhance the car's safety profile. Notably, the new driver attention monitor with facial recognition and adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assistance underscore Suzuki's commitment to driver safety and convenience.
