Not long since his return to Indonesia at the end of 2012, the figure is now the latest generation Suzuki Swift is a lot we meet on the streets of Greater Jakarta and other cities in the archipelago. Yes, that's the best response to the Indonesian market newcomers in the hatchback segment. It is not only experienced by Swift, but also by its rivals such as the Hyundai Grand Avega 1.4, Ford Fiesta 1.4, KIA Rio 1.4 and Chevy Aveo.
Especially if the main reason is not because of the cars in this segment offers an attractive design, adequate performance, economical fuel consumption, and the price is relatively affordable. So also with its compact dimensions and further confirms its nature as an urban car. And the most important is the design of digandruingi many young drivers.
This is why many manufacturers who participate lowering products in this segment. Then what is the mainstay of the latest generation Suzuki Swift hatchback market to break this growing demand?
Although all components of the platform and the car was new, but this latest Swift still looks very similar to the old one. In fact, when viewed at a glance when the car was speeding, almost difficult to distinguish from the previous generation. The owners of Swift Swift is like the previous figure, it is the reason Suzuki maintains almost the same shape it.
Previous generation Swift has been known as a good-looking car with a roof that sharp, like a knife, plus a black front pillar. However, because this car is a generation that is really new, of course, are required to be able to display the Suzuki Swift design is also impressive new, with the old design considerations so diminaticharus carried over into the next generation. This is why the evolution of the design is done with great caution.
Her face became more refreshed headlight design with longer and more curved look. Similarly, back, side trunk opening is made higher in order to support the robustness of the structure. Design rear combination lamps are also made to be more - fused with the body contour. House mirrors have now been equipped with turn signal. Finally, all four wheels now appear more sporty design with a new 16-inch alloy wheels.
The rest, all new Swift just look fatter and bigger dimensions present the results of a longer 155 mm, and 5 mm wider than its predecessor. Evolution minimalist design is expected to attract more consumers to choose the new Swift.
The platform used is the same platform used - with Suzuki Ertiga. That is, the Swift has a level of NVH ( noise , vibration, harshness ) which is similar to his Big brother 's. Structure made of steel it is also equipped with side impact beams to protect against side impact.
This time its power is generated from a rather unusual source. When Swift previously offered with a 1.5 liter engine, now Swift is only coded K14B engine equipped with a capacity of 1.4 liters. Strength decreased from 100 hp to 95 hp and a peak torque of 133 Nm also reduced to 130 Nm. However, the engine is also used in the Ertiga is claimed to be more fuel efficient.
Just like the previous model, the Swift still uses McPherson struts front suspension and torsion beam with coil behind. The damping system is also used on its twin, Ertiga. So even with a 4 - speed automatic transmission is a transmission that used the same as those used in the Ertiga matic has just been released.
Suzuki Swift now has a length of 3,850 mm. This length is approaching the latest Honda Jazz ( 3,920 m ) and the Chevy Aveo ( 4,031 mm ). So, this car should have been able to give the cabin area of the competitors.
But in fact, the maximum back-row legroom is only 630 mm. Indeed, 5 - passenger hatchback can accommodate three adults in the back seat, but they are more comfortable if the back row is filled by three children or adolescents, because lower roof makes the cabin rear headroom ( 820 mm ) to be more limited.
The same was seen in the trunk. Luggage capacity of 204 liters is not exactly great, even when the second row seats folded though. More than that, the rear seats can not be folded up flush with the surface of the trunk floor.
Baggage door openings are small little difficult access accommodation goods. Indeed, for a supermini size, no rival Honda Jazz luggage capacity ( 399 liters ).
Luckily, Swift cabin soundproof is excellent. Quality of NVH ( noise , vibration, harshness ) is a mainstay Ertiga, also can be felt from the Swift cabin is quiet. Why, minimal vibration K14B engine that sits on rubber pads and is positioned away from the firewall. As a result, engine vibration is reduced succeeded well, as well as with his voice not so audible from inside the cabin. It's just that at high speed, voice articulation tires sized 185/55 R16 are still investigating into the cabin.
Which is also enjoyable Swift is the quality of the cabin interior materials . Plastic material used is better than its competitors . The design is neat and simple , not a lot of instruments and a scattering of buttons on the dashboard .
Meter cluster of interest is now also equipped with multi- information display ( MID ) that can display full information about mileage , fuel consumption , air temperature outside the cabin , until the hour indicators .
Swift is now also features automatic air conditioner . So even with the head in- dash audio unit that is equipped with audio control switches on the steering wheel , and come equipped with a USB socket .
Swift is not equipped with leather seats. However, the thick seat cushion with back support is quite comfortable when occupied for a long time. Availability seat adjuster and adjustable steering wheel makes it easy to find the position of driving.
Storage compartment provided was plentiful with a wide center console, bottle holders in each door, and a large glovebox . Increased convenience features come with the presence of start-stop button . Safety features include dual airbags for front passengers .
95 hp does not sound too great . Maximum torque of 130 Nm is also just , but the rate is higher than the Ford Fiesta 1.4 liter ( 128 Nm ) .
Suzuki admits that despite lower energy depot capacity of 1.5 liter form the 1.4 liter , but the performance of the engine is no less than its rivals . Evidently, Swift managed to drag from rest to the 100 kph in 13.0 seconds . 1.7 seconds faster than the Ford Fiesta 1.4 which recorded 14.7 seconds . In fact , Swift lost only 0.4 seconds from the Toyota Yaris larger 100 cc engine .
K14B engine has been using drive -by-wire technology and has the dimensions of a ring - cash and lightweight . Not only the engine , Suzuki even replace the radiator fan made of metal with a plastic . Total weight of the vehicle from the previous generation was reduced to 75 kg . This achievement is also supported by a new frame structure that is lighter but more rigid .
That is, power and torque are reduced , managed to offset the weight of the vehicle decreased significantly.
4 - speed automatic transmission with gear ratios are tight enough to contribute to channel power from the engine vigorously . Is typical of such transmission is very supportive of the distinctive character of Swift and nimble , but the beat is generated at every turn of his teeth enough reducing comfort .
Meanwhile , rests ventilated disc brakes in front and solid discs at the rear . As a result, the car can stop from a speed of 60 kph in 2.2 seconds and a distance of 15.8 meters . Brake Swift also is equipped with ABS and EBD .
