The system output of the hybrid drive in the revamped Suzuki Swace is now 103 kW/140 PS. The additional power results from a more powerful electric motor, which now delivers 17 kilowatts more. The torque, increased by 22 Newton meters, ensures significantly better acceleration. This allows the sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds – 1.7 seconds faster than the previous model.

Proven Basis - Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

Like the Toyota, the Suzuki estate car receives the fifth-generation hybrid drive. Technical modifications are intended to provide a better driving experience, more power, and higher efficiency. Toyota has, among other things, modified the control unit and transmission and implemented a more powerful lithium-ion battery. A new control unit is also expected to reduce electrical losses by 14 percent. The drive is paired with a new lithium-ion hybrid battery. The Japanese managed to minimize the size and weight (minus 14 percent) of the battery while increasing the power by 14 percent.

Design – Upgrade

Modifications to the LED daytime running lights, the LED rear lights, and the rear bumper are intended to give the new Swace a more modern appearance. Additionally, the design of the seat upholstery has been revised in the interior. A new digital instrument cluster provides all important driving information. The infotainment is controlled via an eight-inch multimedia touchscreen with HD resolution. Furthermore, suitable smartphones can now also be integrated wirelessly into the vehicle's multimedia system via Apple CarPlay. Integration of smartphones with Android is done via Android Auto with a cable connection.

Safety Update

The new safety features include the revised Pre-Collision System (PCS) and an Exit Assistant (Safe Exit Assist – SEA). The system warns when a cyclist or another vehicle is approaching from behind and a vehicle door could open in its path. An emergency stop assistant detects severe driver inattentiveness and can consequently initiate an automatic emergency stop of the vehicle.

What does this mean?

The Suzuki Swace has so far not been a major success in Germany. Last year, about 600 vehicles were registered – compared to 11,711 Toyota Corollas (all body variants). The facelifted and optimized Swace is available from 34,790 euros and will be at Suzuki dealers from March.
