CarTell take

We haven't driven the Swift yet. On paper, boot at 265 L is smaller than Yaris (270 L) and i20 (310 L). If cargo space matters, the i20 is more usable.

Why consider it

  • 4.0 L/100 km combined claim, AllGrip AWD optional on the top grade (unique in the light hatch class), and a 5-speed manual still offered.
  • Light kerb weight makes it feel quicker than 61 kW suggests.

What to know

  • 61 kW is modest if you carry passengers or load the boot.
  • Check the new model's ANCAP rating before you buy.

Who it suits

First-car buyers, city commuters and manual fans. The 4.0 L/100 km claim is one of the lowest non-hybrid figures in segment, and a sub-$25k drive-away entry is sharp.

Top rivals

Look at the alternatives if you need more power than 61 kW for highway runs (the Toyota Yaris Hybrid is stronger), you want a bigger boot than 265 litres, or you want a 7-year warranty (Kia Picanto or MG3).

Frequently asked questions

How much is the 2026 Suzuki Swift in Australia?

Pricing opens at $24,990 drive-away for the Swift Hybrid (5-speed manual) and tops out at $31,490 drive-away for the Swift Hybrid GLX, across 4 variants. Prices checked October 2026, so confirm with a dealer.

Is the Suzuki Swift a hybrid?

Yes, a mild hybrid. The 1.2L three-cylinder petrol pairs with a small electric assist to deliver Suzuki's 4.0 L/100 km combined claim. It is not a full HEV like the Toyota Yaris.

Is the Suzuki Swift available with a manual gearbox?

Yes. The GLX Hybrid 5MT keeps the 5-speed manual on offer, increasingly rare at this price.

Is the Suzuki Swift all-wheel drive?

Suzuki's AllGrip AWD is offered as a top-grade option, unique in the light hatch class.

The Suzuki Swift in full

The fourth-generation Swift landed in Australia in 2024. Light, frugal and honest, with a new 1.2L mild-hybrid three-cylinder, a CVT or 5-speed manual, and a rare AllGrip AWD option at the top of the range.
