The most feature-packed, affordable, effortlessly cool yet super practical small car you’ve ever laid eyes on is now a hybrid car. The Suzuki Swift Hybrid gives you the best of both worlds – the convenience of a petrol engine, with the advantages of a self-charging electric power boost that reduces fuel consumption and driving emissions. It just makes sense.
Like all destined for greatness, the Suzuki Swift Hybrid puts what the people want within easy reach. And believe us, you’ll want its new hybrid powertrain. Pairing a 1.2L petrol engine with a self-charging electric engine and 12V battery, Swift Hybrid brings extra electric power to the party to boost performance when needed.
...Read moreWhy is this so great, you ask? Well, for starters, this hybrid driving platform significantly improves fuel efficiency, from just 3.8L/100km^ (manual) without the need to plug in. You just drive, enjoy, and spend less time at the petrol pump. It also means lower CO2emissions, if you’re into things like the planet.
Beyond these worthy reasons to choose it above all others, Swift Hybrid comes in packaged in a head-turning body, with all the latest features you know, love and want, like Android Auto™ and wireless Apple CarPlay®, Adaptive Cruise Control, a 9-inch HD touchscreen and premium dual-tone interior.
And then there’s the advanced safety features including Dual Camera Brake Support System‡, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention±, rear view camera and parking sensors, all as standard. And if you want more, you got it – with Plus and GLX grades adding heated front seats, Blind Spot Monitor‡ and Rear Cross Traffic Alert‡.
Swift Hybrid is truly the best of both worlds – frugal efficiency and delightful hedonism, perfectly blended to create what is undoubtedly the most efficient – and fun – Swift yet.
The Suzuki Swift Hybrid is powered by Suzuki’s SVHS – Smart Vehicle Hybrid system – that uses both electric and petrol power to balance the best performance on the road, and at the pump. Its electric motor pulls double duty as a generator, recharging the 12V lithium-ion battery and the petrol engine battery. Plus, it steps in to give the petrol engine a boost when needed, keeping fuel use low and driving dynamics top-notch. Here's how this clever hybrid system works in synergy to make every drive smarter and more efficient.
Uses less fuel while idling:
In the Swift Hybrid, sitting in traffic is smarter. The engine takes a break when you stop at lights or in traffic, saving fuel while the battery keeps the electrics running. And when it’s go time, the hybrid vehicle engine springs back to life smoothly, quietly and fuss-free.
Electric motor assist reduces fuel consumption:
Punching it from a standstill usually requires extra power – which means extra fuel, too. In the Swift Hybrid, the electric motor swoops into action, boosting driving power for up to 30 seconds of extra oomph when you need it.
Battery recharging as you move:
While you’re cruising in your Swift Hybrid, it’s multitasking like a pro – checking and topping up the batteries with energy generated by the engine. Delivering a sweet drive and smashing those fuel efficiency figures to save you time (and money) at the petrol pump.
Regenerative braking recharges battery:
The Swift Hybrid’s electric motor transforms slowing down into powering up! It captures the kinetic energy from deceleration – like when you’re braking – to generate electricity to charge both vehicle batteries.
If driving a hybrid car is new to you, you might have some questions about how it works. Check out our FAQ section below to dig a little deeper and learn how the Swift Hybrid’s revolution in driving power makes a difference to your fuel consumption, without impacting your lifestyle.
A hybrid car uses a dual powertrain – electric and petrol – to perform all your everyday driving tasks, with the ultimate goal of using less petrol and improving the driving experience.
A hybrid car – like the incredible Swift Hybrid – has both an efficient petrol engine and an electric engine that work together to maximise the vehicle’s performance and reduce fuel consumption. There are different types of hybrid vehicle, but most (like the Swift Hybrid) use the petrol engine to power the wheels, while the electric engine powers electrical systems and provides additional power when needed, and also captures energy to recharge the vehicle’s batteries.
No, the Swift Hybrid uses Swift’s SHVS which self-charges the battery while you drive, using captured energy from braking and other driving moments. By boosting Swift Hybrid’s engine power with electric power when required, the hybrid car uses less fuel to go further. There’s no need to plug in, and because the engines work together, you don’t have to worry about electric driving range, and you can fill up fast at a regular petrol station when you need to.
Some hybrid vehicles – called Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (or PHEV) do need to be plugged in to charge the electric engine, and can also be driven on electric-only power for a short period. As these vehicles can operate as an EV, they typically come with a much higher price tag than a petrol-only vehicle or the SHVS in Swift Hybrid.
No, the Swift Hybrid follows a regular scheduled servicing program and requires servicing only every 12 months or 15,000kms. The Suzuki trained technicians at your local dealership know best how to look after it for you. You can check your servicing costs upfront here.
The 12V lithium-ion battery in Swift Hybrid is covered by your 5-year unlimited kilometre new car warranty, so you can drive with confidence. Although most drivers can expect their hybrid battery in the Swift Hybrid to last a lot longer.
A hybrid car uses both electric and petrol engines to power the vehicle and control all operations. An electric vehicle, or EV, is reliant solely on electricity to power all vehicle functions. This means it must be plugged in to charge, or recharged at a public charging station.
An EV typically has a much higher initial purchase price while a hybrid car like the Swift Hybrid suits many more Australian drivers due to its affordable price tag and transparent ownership costs.
