What does it cost?
For This is a good version to go for, because it keeps the Swift cheap and still provides a good amount of standard kit. The engine gives good running costs.
Against The petrol engine is a little noisy and a little gutless; plus, you might miss the air-con and alloys that the SZ4 gives you.
What Car? says
A good choice of Swift if you want to keep your car as cheap as possible, but you’ll have to do without air-con and alloys.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Suzuki Swift buyers have the choice of three engines. The 93bhp 1.2-litre petrol is a little on the sluggish side, but it gives good fuel economy and emissions. The 78bhp 1.3 diesel, meanwhile, has a good slice of low-end pull, so it feels a lot perkier than the petrol. Trouble is, it comes only in SZ3 trim and is quite a bit dearer than the equivalent petrol-engined model. The 1.6 Sport has 134bhp, so it's more of a junior hot hatch, but it needs revs to do its best work.
The most basic SZ2 cars come with powered front windows, remote central locking, electric door mirrors, and a CD player with USB connection and steering wheel controls. That’s pretty good for the money, so this is the trim we’d recommend. SZ3 models add air-con and alloys, while the SZ4 and Sport models have climate control, Bluetooth, keyless entry, rear privacy glass and cruise control.
