Suzuki Swift adds new frugal diesel engine

Suzuki has welcomed a new low emission 1.3 litre diesel engine to its Swift model for even lower running costs. Available from Suzuki dealerships from June 1, the Swift DDiS 75PS 1.3-litre engine, offers low emissions of 109g/km with combined fuel consumption of 67.3mpg, giving an estimated driving range of more than 500 miles.

New Swift DDiS is available for a competitive £12,890 as a five door model with SZ3 grade which includes seven airbags; air conditioning, 16 inch alloy wheels, USB port and heated electric door mirrors as standard equipment.

The turbo charged engine is now even smoother and more responsive than before with maximum torque of 190Nm from just 1,750rpm and 0-62mph in 12.7 seconds. It offers an eight per cent improvement in fuel consumption and produces nine per cent lower tailpipe emissions than the 1.3-litre diesel used in the previous Swift, despite the new Swift being marginally bigger and longer.  Emissions of 109g/km mean that Swift DDiS now costs just £20 in annual VED charges.
