The Suzuki Swift is a small five-door petrol hatchback with a 1.2-litre engine, five seats and a 265-litre boot, sold in Motion, Ultra and Ultra ALLGRIP trims. This page explains who it suits, what each trim gives you and how to pick a version before you look at the live deals.
The Suzuki Swift is a small five-door petrol hatchback built around lightness and simplicity. At 3.86 metres long with a 9.6-metre turning circle, it's aimed squarely at drivers who want something easy to park, cheap to fuel and generously equipped rather than fast or fashionable.
In Suzuki's line-up it sits below the brand's SUVs as the supermini choice, and it's the current Swift, on sale in this fifth-generation form since 2024. One body style, one petrol engine, three trims - that's the whole decision.
The choice comes down to Motion, Ultra or Ultra ALLGRIP, and whether you want the front-wheel-drive car or the all-wheel-drive version.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Swift is a light, honest supermini with five seats, a 265-litre boot with the rear seats up and a three-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. It's a nameplate Suzuki has sold in the UK for decades, and the current car sticks to the formula.
Reviewers consistently praise how little it weighs - kerb weight runs from 949kg - and the way that translates into keen handling and strong economy, with WLTP figures of 57.6 to 64.2 mpg depending on version. The criticisms are just as consistent: cabin materials feel built to a budget, and it's noisier at motorway speeds than plusher rivals.
Worth knowing before you order: Euro NCAP awarded the Swift three stars, with 67% for adult occupant protection and 62% for safety assist.
Because the kit you'd normally pay extra for is already there. Every Swift comes with adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, keyless entry and start, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, air conditioning, LED headlights, privacy glass and rain-sensing wipers.
The driver-assistance list is unusually long for a small car too: blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors on every version.
Practicality is modest but sensible - five doors, 265 litres of boot space rising to 589 litres with the rear seats folded, and braked towing of up to 1,000kg. Servicing falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles, which is the interval to check against your contract mileage.
There's one engine across the range, so the real question is gearbox and driven wheels rather than fuel. Nothing here plugs in.
A three-cylinder petrol producing 81 bhp and 112 Nm, offered with a manual or an automatic gearbox and front- or all-wheel drive. It covers 0-62 mph in 11.9 to 13.6 seconds depending on version, returns 57.6 to 64.2 mpg and emits from 99 g/km of CO2. It suits town and A-road driving, and never needs charging.

Three trims, and the differences between them are small - most of the equipment is standard across the range, so it's really a question of wheel finish, mirrors and whether you want all-wheel drive.
The entry version, with 81 bhp and front-wheel drive. It comes with 16-inch painted alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, a rear parking camera and autonomous emergency braking.
The Motion is currently available from £223.34 a month.
Ultra keeps the 81 bhp engine and front-wheel drive but swaps to 16-inch polished alloy wheels and adds power-folding door mirrors. Upholstery stays cloth. If you like the look of the polished wheels and you park on a tight street, the folding mirrors earn their keep.
The Ultra is currently available from £236.44 a month. Against the Motion, that is currently £13.09/mo more expensive.
This is the all-wheel-drive Swift, again with 81 bhp, 16-inch alloy wheels and cloth trim. Beyond the drivetrain it's about badge and presentation rather than extra equipment, and it's the version to look at if you live somewhere rural, steep or regularly icy.
The Ultra ALLGRIP is currently available from £250.57 a month. Against the Ultra, that is currently £14.14/mo more expensive.
Not sure which suits your mileage and term? Our guide to choosing your car and specification is a sensible place to start, and the rest of the Suzuki range is worth a look if the Swift feels too small.
If you're weighing up other small hatchbacks, the Vauxhall Corsa and Hyundai i20 cover similar ground, while the Volkswagen Polo and Audi A1 take a more premium approach to the same size of car.
