Is It A GENUINE Hot Hatch? Suzuki Swift Sport 2018 Review

Suzuki has been banging its drum very hard over the new Swift Sport. So much so, that the Japanese brand has stated that the third generation model is a 'GENUINE' hot hatch. Is it though? I drove it recently to find out.

The big change from the old is the engine. Long gone is the naturally aspirated 1.6 petrol engine; in its place is the same 1.4 litre turbocharged Boosterjet engine used in the Vitara S. It's only gained 4 extra bhp (138), but with an increase of 230Nm of torque, it's got 70 more than before.

0-62 is far from dazzling though as it's 8.1 seconds and the top speed is 130mph. This doesn't seem very fast on paper, but hopefully the driving sensation will make up for it...
