Unveiling the 2024 Suzuki Swift: What to Expect from the New Model

Exciting news for Suzuki enthusiasts Down Under! The eagerly anticipated 2024 Suzuki Swift has been given the green light for sale in Australia, offering a fresh take on the beloved compact car. With its sleek design, updated features, and improved efficiency, the new Swift promises to make a splash when it arrives at Tynan Motors showroom floors in June.

Power and Performance

One of the key updates to the 2024 Suzuki Swift is its new 1.2-litre three-cylinder 'Z12E' petrol engine, which has been approved for the Australian market. While there's a slight step back in power compared to the previous model, with the engine producing 61kW—down from 66kW—the Swift still offers spirited performance for city driving and beyond.

Design and Dimensions

Building on the success of its predecessor, the 2024 Swift boasts subtle yet noticeable enhancements to its exterior design. Slightly longer and lower than before, the new model measures 3860mm long (up 20mm), 1735mm wide, and 1485mm tall (down 10mm), with a 2450mm wheelbase. These changes not only contribute to its sleek appearance but also improve aerodynamics and overall handling.

Lightweight Construction

In true Suzuki fashion, the 2024 Swift prioritizes efficiency and agility with its lightweight construction. The base model, with a five-speed manual transmission, impressively clocks in at just 890kg tare mass—without fuel, engine fluids, or occupants—making it nimble and responsive on the road. Even with the addition of a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Swift maintains its agility while offering smooth and efficient performance.

Enhanced Features

Inside the cabin, drivers can expect a range of standard equipment designed to enhance comfort, convenience, and safety. According to government documents, standard features may include 15-inch wheels wrapped in 175/65 tyres, with the option to upgrade to 16-inch wheels (185/55 tyres) on higher-grade models. Additionally, advanced technology and safety features are likely to be included to meet the demands of modern drivers.

Pricing and Availability

While specific pricing details are yet to be confirmed, it's expected that the new Swift will see a modest increase in price compared to its predecessor. This adjustment will likely account for the introduction of new technology, safety features, and enhancements to performance and efficiency. Stay tuned as Tynan Motors will reveal pricing closer to the Swift's Australian introduction.

Final Thoughts

With its blend of style, performance, and efficiency, the 2024 Suzuki Swift is poised to captivate Australian drivers seeking a compact car that delivers on all fronts. Whether you're navigating city streets or embarking on weekend getaways, the Swift promises a rewarding driving experience every time you hit the road.
