The new Swift Hybrid, which has been on sale for just three months, has been awarded the Best Affordable Hybrid 2024/2025 by Best Cars of the Year. The judging panel awarded the new Swift as the clear winner of its category thanks to its standard hybrid technology across the range, low running costs with combined fuel consumption of 64.2 mpg, and its affordable price of well below £20,000.
Mike Rutherford of Best Cars of The Year comments: “Suzuki has to be applauded for making every model available as a hybrid – when consumers are increasingly attracted to this affordable, highly flexible petrol-electric tech. Throw impressive Japanese build quality, a great dealer network and a sub-£20,000 starting price into the mix, and it’s no wonder the little Swift appealed to our judges. It’s a car for the real world.”
Customer orders for the new Swift have already exceeded 3,700 units, indicating the strong popularity of Suzuki’s range of cars, which offer low cost of ownership, all the technology you need, and hybrid as standard. The New Swift is also available with an optional CVT gearbox and Allgrip Auto 4×4 technology for customers needing additional traction during the winter in rural areas.
The new Swift will be displayed alongside the other category winners and the overall Best Car of The Year at the British Motor Show at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre. The British Motor Show opens to the public on Thursday, 15th August, and Sunday, 18th August.
The new Swift Motion with CVT has been forecasted with a very strong residual value of 52% by industry-leading specialists CAP HPI, while Swift Motion with a manual transmission is just three per cent behind at 49% over the same ownership period.
In addition, all Suzuki customers can benefit from up to seven years of warranty, adding to the low cost of ownership. This warranty is offered free once the car reaches the end of its standard three-year manufacturer warranty period and is booked in for its next scheduled service within the Suzuki Dealer network. This warranty stays in place until the next qualifying service or a maximum vehicle age of 7 years / 100,000 miles – whichever comes first. Suzuki’s well-renowned product reliability record is enhanced by its up to seven-year warranty, offering ‘Peace of Mind as Standard’.
