Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX Hybrid 82PS – Test: Matchy and affordable in consumption

Many models may grow and change at some point category, however, Swift remains small, easy to use but also hybrid in its new era. In order to become more appealing to their customers, manufacturers grow their models until there comes a time when they change their class. Then, a small successor has already appeared, such as VW has done with Golf, Polo and Up!, covering each other. Suzuki on her part has decided to do something different. In the case of Swift, for example, it keeps it small, with a length of 3,680 m, apparently to not change their character much, keeping it parallel to a “place” which we are used to. This sympathetic supermini therefore wants to remain flexible, sufficient for regional changes every so many that are renewed and in this case, 1.2 GLX Hybrid with 82 horsepower will easily move passengers on a ‘closed’ route within the city or a narrow one. Since the word “passengers” was mentioned, it will not be difficult to accommodate four and even, of high stature, about 1.85m. Even behind sitting, their knees will barely lick the back of the front seat. They sit in a little more upright position to release space both for themselves and for the 265 liters trunk. And after we went inside, it would be nice to mention the large 9 inch screen of the car, which offers various conveniences, as well as the rear-view camera, necessary evidence for a supermini. It also has a palette of security and assistance systems, which helps the driver tremendously. The instrument panel on its side is analog, with an insert section in the center of the 4.2 inch LCD screen. Materials are hard with good fitting, seat linings beautiful and elegant, while if there is a need for small objects, it will not take much effort and thought, since the spaces are abundant. Under the hood there is the mild hybrid 12V drive system, a 3 cylinder 1.2lt engine with power reaching 82 horsepower. It is judged most appropriate for the city and its needs, and it is worth noting that a small electric motor that plays the role of the ignition and the generator is contributing. The crate is 5-speed for more economy and if you don’t press it, the fuel needle won’t really come down… The small Suzuki is matchy, speeds fast from low speeds, the city is its point of interest, as we do not forget that it has been created for this reason alone. He will travel comfortably, no one says otherwise, just many times you will need to lower speed to speed up. He travels safely, however, you will not face a problem of instability and when you leave the National Road and go to turns, you will not remain complaining. He’ll do his job just fine, no worries. The great trump of this car is its practicality in daily travel. It is easily driven, in the city you will never back to pass a very closed turn and parking space you will find everywhere.
