The Suzuki Swift Sport has always occupied a specific role: the entry point to the hot hatch world, where the price does not require justification but the fun is real. The 2018 model is a full redesign with a new platform, a lighter body, and a turbocharged 1.4-litre engine replacing the old naturally aspirated unit.
Jenny reviews it and finds the Swift Sport has sharpened up considerably. The turbo engine makes the previous version feel asthmatic by comparison, the chassis communicates well, and the reduced weight makes the car feel agile without needing high speeds to demonstrate it. The interior is still modest by any standard, but the driving experience makes up for it.
The Swift Sport is for buyers who want the hot hatch experience without the hot hatch running costs. It is honest about what it is: a small, fun car with limited pretension and a lot of character. Jenny finds it easy to like, and at this price, easy to justify.
