Suzuki has added a low emissions 1.3-litre DDiS diesel model to the recently launched Swift range.
The new Swift DDiS uses a new 75bhp 1.3-litre engine with low CO2 emissions of 109g/km. It also offers a combined fuel consumption of 4.2 litres per 100kms or 67.3mpg, giving it an estimated driving range of around 1,000kms.
The new Swift DDiS is available for €17,500 as a five door GLX model which includes seven airbags, ESP, air conditioning, 16 inch alloy wheels, USB port, and heated electric door mirrors as standard equipment.
The Euro 5 emissions turbo charged engine is now even smoother and more responsive than before with maximum torque of 190Nm from just 1,750rpm and 0-100 km/h (62 mph ) in 12.7 seconds.
It offers an eight per cent improvement in fuel consumption and produces nine per cent lower exhaust emissions than the 1.3-litre diesel used in the previous Swift. Emissions of 109g/km mean the Swift DDiS costs €104 in road tax.
Suzuki says driving a compact car does not mean settling for less. It boasts that within its modest dimensions, Suzuki has condensed all the performance, impact safety, handling and other essentials for great enjoyment and satisfaction, while easing the environmental burden.
Launched last September, the Swift range with Dual VVT 1.2-litre petrol engine starts from €13,650 for the three-door GL up to €17,550 for the range-topping, five-door GLX with automatic transmission. Emissions for the petrol engine with manual transmission are 116g/km making it one of the cleanest compact superminis on sale, according to Suzuki.
Niall O’Gorman, general manager of Suzuki Ireland, says: “The new Swift DDiS is a great addition to the expanding range of Suzuki diesel vehicles and gives choice and variety to the discerning Suzuki customer.”
