    No mention that they have changed the entry handles to the back doors and not built into the rear door pillar ? Easier for little one’s to get into the car.

    I have the current 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 lie 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 about 90bhp, 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.

      It’s actually worse. The new Suzuki Swift has 80hp. I’m in the same boat. My car is a 2019 SZ5 model and switching to the new Swift will almost certainly be a downgrade due to losing around 30 hp (a little under a 30% drop in power which is significant). This is also reflected in the 0-60 times where the newer model is around 2 seconds longer. I like some of the new tech, but I think my current Suzuki has everything I need, is faster and looks a lot better.

      @@xeniosaias I agree with @killianplc – why would an existing owner downgrade their current model? Great for people that don’t own a swift, but terrible for existing SZ5 owners.

    Ford killed off the Fiesta way too early. That’s one of the best cars on the road and they should have invested in an upgrade instead of blindly going all EV SUV. Just see how many of their loyal customers are now deserting them in droves. Not everyone wants an SUV or EV, and certainly less who want an EV SUV!

      I wonder sometimes what goes these manufacturers heads when they make these decisions. Trying to be like Apple and tell people what they should be buying? Hahaha mistake #1.
      SUVs are overrated. I’d take a good hatchback or estate/stationwagon anyday.

      They killed the fiesta by fitting a eco boost engine now known as the ecoboom as it go’s bang and then shafted there customers with big bills for a crap engine that Ford should have paid for

      @@DarrylRadcliffe Absolutely. I just don’t need an SUV but just a small runabout. I’m 70+ and there is absolutely no need for such cars, especially when I am trying to do my environmental bit but buying less, smaller and cars with better efficiency. SUV simply do not fit my requirements. I worked in Ford’s Product Development department for some years, so I am most disappointed by their strategic mistake. I no longer drive Ford cars because they just do not make the products that fit my needs. So sad.

    I love Suzuki Swifts, but only 81bhp???? That isn’t going to be enough. The old 3 cylinder turbo was quite nice, but even the old 1.3 4cylinder didn’t have enough guts.

      @@Bambotb If this is 4th generation, then 3rd generation made in Japan, but 1st and 2nd made in Hungary. I like Swifts but the engines have become rather gutless – the 1200 was a bit weedy, and this new one looks far worse! So, on paper i20 might be a better bet. But I guess it’s in the driving experience….

    Realistically the only reason to buy it is you need the all grip 4WD but still need a small car.
    I certainly wouldnt be buying any car in this price range until i had test drove the new MG3 Hybrid+.

    Our lass has a 70 plate Swift, 1.2 hybrid, cost a pound under 10k (pre owned at a stealership). Been ultimately reliable, sips fuel through a straw & on the twisty country roads around us, a hoot to drive IF you use the box and change up and down regularly. I have been known to take the Swift over my M240i X drive for some shorter journeys and it always makes me smile. 😊

      This sort of setup used to just be called a micro hybrid around a decade back, but still, the term is misleading especially given you can disable such features.

    I was hoping so much that this Z12 mild hybrid engine would adopt 48V architecture. That way the CVT option could have been a Direct Drive like in their R06A engines. What a missed chance.

    Not the sort of thing you would put in a brand new car unless you wanted to damage the interior and scuff the rear bumper.
