Suzuki Swift2025

Known issues

• CVT transmission occasional hesitation on initial acceleration or gear hunting at motorway speeds
• Hybrid battery management system software updates required on early units to optimise charging efficiency
• Starter motor pre-maturity wear due to frequent 48V start-stop cycles in stop-start traffic
• Door lock actuators prone to failure, especially on driver-side door
• Fuel pump electrical connector corrosion in damp Irish/UK conditions
• Clutch-by-wire engagement sometimes jerky during low-speed manoeuvres in hybrid mode

Good for

• Exceptional fuel economy in urban/suburban driving with regular charging and careful throttle control
• Very low CO₂ emissions (90–110 g/km WLTP) — appeals to eco-conscious buyers and company car schemes
• Tight turning circle and nimble handling make it ideal for narrow Irish city streets
• Affordable maintenance and service parts, simple 48V hybrid architecture reduces long-term repair costs
