Old one is much better looking. Not the first time designers ruins things with new model. The old one was very reliable too.
Agree is basically a facelift that have made things worse. The engine is so under powered compared to The Boosterjet that was in old model.
ya right, but they cannot undo what is done now ....
@@killianlpc Today it's popular to make weaker engines. Most cars have only 1.0 and 3 cylinders. My old Peugeot 206 is still faster and mobile than today's car. Never touched the engine, reliable as hell.
The new design kinda grows on you and you begin to like it much more than the old design.
The old one was not a good looking car by any measure, only a half blind OAP would buy such a car
I prefer the old Swift. I prefer the dash in the old Swift and the grill as well as where the logo is and it has nicer alloys too. Old Swift wins it for me. The touchscreen in the new Swift looks like an afterthought whereas in the old one it was nicely integrated into the dash. So much nicer.
I think you make some very valid points as always!
Old is better outside. The New one is very nice inside. It is a pity that it has only 3 cylinders. Your canal is the Best English lesson. You are super speaker. Everything is clear and of course you are so nice. Thank for good job. It is a great pleasure for me.
Thank you very much!
A Swift without a Sport, is like a dance without music.
I'm still preying it might come back when they have some EV's to balance out the European emissions.

Great love this channel
i definitely like your channel you do more reviews on normal every day cars keep up the good work
I love my new swift ,great improvement on cab noise reduction &a lot smoother ride.
Great presenting thanks a ton
Great job 👏
This’s what we been looking forward
Thank you for the video...I am thinking of getting one!
Excellent video 👏great car review Tish 👍
Thank you very much
In India, Swift is an emotion. I have a gen 2 swift with diesel engine. This fourth generation interior and exterior doesn’t look sporty and doesn’t come with powerful engine. Most of the car manufacturers are nowadays focusing on features, we don’t want that. We want good engine, gearbox, clutch, good drivability, better safety and awesome looks. We don’t want sunroof, 360 camera, auto climate control and mild hybrid kind of gimmick features.
Correct ......
Any swift made in India sucks.. also for those horrible roads and virtually no traffic rules there, what do you want to do with drivability..
Omg brilliant 👏 was hoping they'd improve the soundproofing more.
Ive got a 2019 swift sport, fixes most of the drawbacks mentioned in this video since its fully specced. Love mine to bits!
Excellent side by side comparison of the old and new models. The new model has enough improvements to keep it appealing. The only thing I don’t like is the new bonnet line. The price has probably increased but by how much ?
Very good review!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great comparison but I much prefer the old model, I’ve had all three previous versions of the Swift. My current one is the top speck SZ5 and I love it and is my favourite of all the Swifts I’ve owned. This new model just looks awful though, I really dislike the look and I’m not particularly keen on the interior either. I cannot see myself buying one of these, shame as they’ve all been incredibly reliable to own and a great looking car in my opinion. Think they may have lost a loyal following as they’ve had a great reputation. I am hearing a lot of negativity about this new car.
The 1.0 Boosterjet engine so much more powerful than this under powered 1.2 3cyl unit. The Swift from 2018 was so economical anyway no need for more economy, but it is a huge loss of power from 109bhp down to 83bhp you will really notice when overtaking. Apart from a larger infotainment system it looks almost identical inside. I would the say the dash actually looks much better on old model.
I Love your Video ❤
Another great 👍 video, I do like the new model more 😊
Apart from the front bonnet design the new one is 👍 and good comparison review 👍
Glad you liked it
Great review. I am seriously considering the new Swift as a manual with the mild hybrid. Suzuki, bring the new Swift with manual transmission to Australia.
Fingers crossed!
The problem I have with the new one is that I have a 2019 SZ5 Swift. It looks better, has 30 more HP, 58NM more torque and is almost as economical (I get from 44-59mpg realworld). I consider the new model a big downgrade.
That's true. Compared to the 2023 model it doesn't seem like a loss but the old engines were far superior.
manual knob style A/C controls with slider for external air mixing is better in terms of functionality compared to the new one, slider allows for recirculation/fresh air mixing according to your liking instead of just switching between recirculation/fresh air transfer mode.
Great long in depth review Tish. I think i prefer the out going models front. I m guess the bonnet was lifted to satify some EU safety law or something. Keep up the good work. They are all very enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing
So, is the old 1.0 Turbo completely gone? I hope they still offer it in my country, we have a lot of high altitude cities where the 1.2 naturally aspirated will suffer.
I think the fact that now it's a 3 cyl unit instead of the erstwhile 4 cyl. Some comparison in the refinement levels should have been done. Even more so since you mentioned that online people are concerned about this change.
These were quite popular 15 years ago but the market has moved on.
This is neither cheap enough on pcp or cash or big enough to keep up with the sandero and lower end corsa or Clio. Hope they are update their range with all new models soon as it would be a shame to lose this manufacturer in the uk!
In our area every second car you see is a Suzuki, and the Swift is very popular... Suzuki now make some of the most reliable cars, hardly to be compared to a Corsa or Clio,
And the steering wheel is still here 😂 Has to be the best line in a car review. Would you trade your Up for one though?
They have literally ruined this car looks awful
Said the exact same thing last weekend.tbh if you looked at Kia in comparison you do get a lot better value for your money then swift is hybrid but that's about the only selling point thrid generation was great all they needed to do was add a few extra bits 😊
Your views. I think it has got more character now
Looks are subjective. I like it. Reminds me of the new Mini Countryman. The interior is definitely nicer in the new car.
I like it, looks slightly new and simple
Well I like it better now
New look❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I wonder how quiter is the new model? Same? Slightly? or quite? I test drove the old one and the noise in the cabin was extremely loud (both motor and the road).
I would say significantly quieter but definitely still some road and wind noice!
Apparently according to some branches the sport as been axed aswell as the that peachy 1.0 boosterjet.
could you tell much difference in the refinement
Written perspective as the video progresses:
The older swift looks much more smarter and elegant, better looking overall. With that reverse camera positioning, although it may get dirtier much quicker, i'd prefer that and just give it a wipe with a microfibre cloth or something every once in a while as it does not look very neat having it randomly placed in the middle of the boot. Those rear doors ... yes, has pros and cons as discussed, I prefer them up high though. It feels different and unique, as only very few other car manufactures have this (i.e nissan juke, reno clio) but the electric windows are an improvement for 2024.
I've always preferred the interiors of older models, I really dislike how when a manufacturer announces a facelift, they place an almost ugly-looking, large screen in the centre of the dashboard which doesn't fit. This is me talking in general, and this is what Suzuki has done as a prime example for me. I just think it looks tacky, it should be hidden/tucked into the dashboard as on the older model. I just think it suits an SUV, but not a little car like this. Even if the graphics of the screen looks more washed out in comparison, I also dislike how the cars are made to be technologically advanced to remain in competition. Why can we not have analogue dials and a small dashboard screen anymore... why has it got to be a full digital, increasing the price of what is meant to be these cheap run-around vehicles.
The only thing i'd take is the new infotainment, providing it was integrated and the heated seats with the outgoing dashboard gauges and rear electric windows in terms of the interior. And for the exterior, I would want the outgoing design.
Those wheels on the new one looks like a wheel cover.
I wonder if it's possible to install dash and steering from new one into old one?
The signal indicator is on the left? I though is suppose to be on the right
Cute british 😍 looking cool
Enjoyed video but am I missing something didn’t get car prices ?
Much more beautiful now
New car's rear lights are the only one good improvement
It's ok that's all. Love my outgoing Swift it's diesel and amt . ❤
I've owned a current generation swift attitude since 2019 and I have just recently bought a sz5 swift in speedy blue 🔵 it's a great car and my opinion better looking than the new one The new generation is not too bad but looks more expensive than current swifts. one thing going for it is I love the inside of this car
I actually preferred the looks of the previous non turbo model, with its shorter nose. This also applies to the BMW Minis.
Older ones with 4 cylinder are better. IMO.
There is a lot more kit under the bonnet of modern cars, which is why the bonnet depth has been increased on the newer Swift...
😊 has your 2 for 1 offer finished ???
Anyone from INDIA watching this like this comment as your attendance 😅
Bharat mata ki jai India best country in world 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yeh, i hv swift VXi
Jai hind 🇮🇳
me here too. you know new swift does look like new k10 from front.
I personally prefer the older model Swift. It looks more classy. (Besides I have a black 2023 model and I just love it!) The newer model just looks too "basic" , just my opinion!
I just got the outgoing model last month, fully equipped version. In terms of design and engine I prefer it to the new one. The only thing I would like on it is the new infotainment system, but hey, you can't have it all :D
Old one looks way better.
Honestly, I like the design and the interiors of the outgoing Swift. Cheers!
Fair enough! Thank you for sharing
Hope its ok , I've just ordered one for my wife
I think the lights on the rear of the new model make it look like a Fiat Stilo.
Old swift ❤
New Swift interior is good ❤
But front part 😭😭
I'm getting used to it!
Old one is much better looking. Just put the new model's front grill with same line radar sensor and suzuki logo. You can also put better and faster computer from new model (same position as old one though). That's it. They also ruined beautiful retro round style with this new dashboard. Oh and old model with ''hidden rear door'' looks much cooler and better too !!!. Also this old model is not premium GLX one with digital air conditioner and double color too. I am glad they did not ruin beautiful steering :D and used the same one though !.
Old Swift is much better than the new one.
The best car review I've enjoyed by far 🇿🇦 My Colonizer 😅. I will buy the new model.
Adaptive cruise standard in the existing model? Wow never seen it as standard in a car of that class.
Can't hate suzuki as a brand. Lightweight sporty cars without the creature comforts are what this brand does best!
Just a chassis, 4 wheels and an engine!
Nice car my sister
I hate grilles with those big holes in them that seem to be normal these days ( big enough to let half a house brick through ) . Having had a couple of aircon condensers holed by bricks I now fit my own 6mm square stainless steel mesh across the grille ( sprayed black ), why can't car makers do this ?
Pretty much the same car, with the old one being waaay better looking. Thankfully everything is included on the standard edition at a price about +2500 euro compared to the old one. Same price as the top spec model of the previous generation. Lastly i dont get the whole noise reduction concept combined with a 3 cyl engine. The one simple thing Suzuki had to do was upgrading the hybrid system from mild to strong making the ultimate fuel efficient town car, but guess what
The exterior styling is diabolical - I cannot imagine what they were thinking when they signed this off?
.. sorry but i didn t hear anything about the most imp thing..the price.. maybe next time u begin with this.. 🥂
20 000 euros for the top spec model, 15500 for the basic. At least here in Serbia, probably a little higher in UK
The out going is better looking but the black roof is very nice started in the Vitara which is a throw back to the 1960s and 1970s which other car makes are copying and a proper handbrake far better than the electronic handbrake and manual gearbox an anti theft device we do own a Baleno its a bit bigger than the Swift
I love her videos. Old Swift looks better, but the new Swift isn't too bad. Looks a bit more like a Mini. Lots of extra features as well. This is why I am buying the new model. Off topic: she's got dirty trousers!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I think you'll be surprised that the styling will grow on you. Yes, I don't know when but at some point I managed to press up against a dirty car!
Can't help it,why you rest your foot on clutch plate.?
It looks ok but when you start cutting the availability of the range you have to get it right I’ve no interest in an electric car and I would have loved to look at the new sport model but sadly they haven’t bothered with one
The new model, looks like a car assembled in Bangladesh, with parts they had lying around, Suzuki have you lost you mind?!
Probably because of the fact that Suzuki’s main focus market is not anymore Europe or even Japan, it’s India
I had the choice of a new swift on a 24 plate, or the older model on a 23 plate. I chose the older model. Much nicer car.
Our 2023 SZL has nicer wheels than either, looks wise I like the old rear doors, on the interior the new car is a bit of an uplift though I do like the old binnacle and the white inserts could have done with a colour change. We will give the new model a look when ours is a year old. Heated seats is good to see but heated wheel is on the wish list.
Overall impressed with the car the new one looks good in some colour combos though.
Hello, just found your video, I was wondering about that myself and I ❤❤❤ the Suzuki Swift, I use to own the previous previous 2014 model. And I loved it, was a bit sad when I sold it, it had to be done unfortunately, couple of things, ai still love the new one, everyone has different preferences, you either like or hate it, changes I forgive, the map pockets, TBH though let's be realistic, you can still get a map pocket, simply buy a new seat cover with map pockets and voila problem solved and I will take electric windows over wind down manual one's any day, my 2014 Swift was electric. The dials, yeah, the old ones look sportier, would have been nice if they brought it over from the old one, perhaps update the central screen maybe, it's do-able, but Suzuki thought otherwise, would it be a deal breaker for me though, No not really. I don't mind the new ones. If I had the cash I would buy one. I love the blue colour. The engine losing one cylinder, well hopefully I hope that they have done something to that hybrid assist motor to make up for it, it is a small car and handles beautifully. That is a fact, and thats why I love it.
Great video but too Swift for me 😂
You'll just have to swallow it.
@@Wotsitorlabart😂😂
It sucks that the UK does not get a proper base model
I think the new one looks older and uglier than it’s predecessor. 😂 I’d go for an Aygo X, Mazda2 or Sandero instead. That new MG3 is probably worth a look too. Great video as always Tish.
Mazda 2 is a very good car. The proper sized 1.5 4 cylinder engine is great in a world of 3 cylinder engines these days.
The Mazda 2 is a brilliant car. I bought the auto petrol variant new in 2011. Great driving dynamics, and a mechanical gem. Recently traded it in while it still had life left and got a 2024 Mazda 2.
I considered other subcompact cars and subcompact SUVs but the Mazda 2 came out on top. Well-made, best looking subcompact car (inside and out), I appreciate Mazda's approach to tech, and great driving dynamics.
The old Suzuki Swift was high on my list (we don't have the new one in Australia). I was interested in the highest trim - the GLX Turbo (3cyl 1.0 T petrol auto). But I preferred the looks and interior of the Mazda 2. I have never had a car with a turbo before - so I was wary about that.
Edit: Tish did a fantastic video about the Mazda 2 on the John Banks Reviews channel.
I have the MG3 arriving in a few weeks... let's see!
Is the new one smaller than the old one?
No they’re the same size
Shame they discontinued the 1.0 boosterjet hybrid engine. It's a hoot to drive down a country road :)
New model looks like out dated ☹️ first time in the history swift design failed
Well said
New one look much better mate
I’m not a fan of the new looks, but the changes overall make it a better car. I heard they aren’t doing a sport anymore, which is sad.
Commenting from India.the same also coming to India in a week, they have ruined the car design
Suzuki very good Car
I was looking to change to this from the current model. I don't think the new one looks as good. Think I'll stick with what I've got.
Do Suzuki plan to release a Sport model as an option. I hope that looks easier on the eye!
Great review as always Tish!!!
The rims of the new swift looks aweful.the old version rims is better and looks modern.the interior of the new one looks nice though
Swift is emotion in every indian family and swift mandra word in india .East or west swift is best from india
I have the 2018 model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks like a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine is a backwards step by Suzuki.
hat's true. Compared to the 2023 model it doesn't seem like a loss but the old engines were far superior.
Stopping the production of the excellent 4 cylinder motor was a grave mistake. 4 cylinder units run smooter and blowers (turbos)can be problematic and expensive to replace. Probably done for economic reasons as 3 cylinder units use less material and parts so are easier/cheaper to manufacture. The bonnet looks awful on the new one and the alloys were hidious 🙄
The new on looks like the Skoda Fabia (not good). I love my Swift 2019 with a turbo.
...and UK is not in Europe??
2018 model it's classic design. 🖤🖤🖤
car with bare bones !
Design got ruined, but still a solid choice. One of the best in its category. Although the Yaris has a far better design
New swift looks like baby Puma. In a way, it's lost its characteristics somewhat. The tail light doesn't cohere that well, they could keep or tweak slightly the last gen's tail light.
Offft..old one looks better at the front. Great interior improvements.
Thank you for watching
From day one I am trying to convince myself that the new one looks good but my head always turns towards the old one..
Old is better
The AZ is simple a gem. The MZ is clownish in comparison!
