2023 Suzuki Swift
About the 2023 Suzuki Swift
Last updated Jun 07, 2024The 2023 Suzuki Swift has received some minor specification adjustments including a new, larger touchscreen, but prices have increased. Light, fun and affordable. There's plenty to like about the newly facelifted Suzuki Swift.
Suzuki has two distributors in this country – Suzuki Australia and Suzuki Queensland – and the Swift line-up varies depending on the state.
For 2023, outside of Queensland you can buy a Swift in GL S, GL S Plus, GLX Turbo and Sport guises. The old GL and GL Plus no longer appear on Suzuki’s website, and the new GL S and GL S Plus include LED headlights, climate control air-conditioning and keyless entry and start as standard.
In Queensland, the range comprises GL Navigator, GL, GL Plus, GLX Turbo and Sport, with the new national GL S and GL S Plus marketed as the GL Limited Edition and GL+ Limited Edition.

All Sport models plus Queensland’s GL Navigator are the only variants to retain the brand’s 7.0-inch screen, with all other models receiving a larger 9.0-inch unit fitted locally (pictured above).
The 9.0-inch unit sourced from China still has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but there’s no satellite navigation.
Exterior
An iconic model in the Suzuki range, the Swift has stood the test of time of by creating a brand within a brand. With its popularity a peak levels with the first generation, the second-generation remains a great looker for the young at heart.

How it Drives
The 2022 Suzuki Swift’s standard engine is a naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 66kW of power and 120Nm of torque. It’s mated with either a five-speed manual or a continuously-variable transmission.
The GLX Turbo upgrades to a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder with 82kW and 160Nm, mated exclusively with a six-speed auto.
The Sport uses a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder with 103kW and 230Nm, mated with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
Swift Safety Rating
Dual frontal, side chest and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags are standard on all models, as is a reversing camera.
All bar the GL Navigator, GL and GL S also include:
- Autonomous emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-departure warning
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Rear parking sensors
The Swift wears a 2017-dated five-star ANCAP safety rating, scoring 35.13 out of a possible 37 points in local testing.
Models without the above mentioned safety suite have a lower four-star rating, with a score of 32.49 out of 37.
Swift Warranty
In addition to a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, Suzuki offers five years of capped-price servicing.
The first five services are priced at $239, $329, $239, $429, and $239.
Swift Infotainment
The sat-nav-equipped 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, AM/FM radio (but no DAB+), iPod compatibility and USB/12V outlets has seen fresher days but for what it offers, including proprietary sat-nav at this price point, it’s effective enough with a sharp display and lag-free response.
Most buyers will presumably leverage its smartphone mirroring and despite the small-ish screen it delivers as expected. And, while it lacks a volume knob – a feature making a triumphant return to car interior features – its slider arrangement is easy to acclimatise to.
Swift Boot Space
Boot space is 242L, expanding to 556L with the rear seats folded (VDA).
Swift Fuel Economy
The 2022 Suzuki Swift uses 4.6L/100km with the 1.2-litre manual powertrain, 4.8L/100km in 1.2-litre CVT models, 5.1L/100km as a GLX Turbo and 6.1L/100km in Sport models.
All models have a 37L fuel tank.
Turbocharged models require 95 RON premium unleaded fuel, while all other models can use 91 RON.
