The Suzuki Swift’s fuel consumption per kilometer varies by model, transmission, and region, but it is widely recognized as a highly fuel-efficient compact car. Typical figures for the non-hybrid 1.2L petrol versions range from 4.4 to 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which translates to roughly 18 to 22 kilometers per liter depending on driving conditions and market specifications[1][3][4].
For city driving, the Suzuki Swift achieves around 18 km/L, while highway consumption can reach up to 21 km/L for the 1.2L automatic petrol variants[1]. In official combined cycle tests, recent mild hybrid editions of the Swift report values between 4.4 and 4.9 L/100km (about 20–23 km/L)[3].
The new Suzuki Swift Hybrid models offer even better efficiency, with independent test results reporting averages as low as 3.0–3.3 liters per 100 kilometers (about 30–33 km/L), depending on transmission and driving style[2]. Market-specific models in India, equipped with the 1.2L Z12E engine, are claimed by Suzuki to deliver up to 25.75 km/L for the automatic and 24.8 km/L for the manual variants under test conditions[5].
Overall, you can expect most Suzuki Swift models from recent generations to provide a real-world fuel consumption between 4–5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, or approximately 18–25 kilometers per liter when driving with moderate efficiency. Hybrid variants deliver even more impressive results, potentially exceeding 30 kilometers per liter under optimal conditions[2].
