Diesel Swift is frugal

Suzuki in Ireland is now selling a 1.3 diesel version of its popular Swift hatchback.

The engine is the unit developed by GM and Fiat some years ago, and which is familiar in a number of products from both those companies.

Suzuki is building the engine under licence at a plant in India.

The 1.3 DDiS Suzuki Swift Diesel is on sale at €16,565. With CO2 emission of 119g/km, the car is eligible for the lowest ‘A’ tax band charged at €104 per year.
