1.2 (91 Hp) Mild Hybrid CVT Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

The most powerful 2WD option with the convenience of a CVT. Provides a noticeable boost over the 83 Hp variants, making it more capable for highway driving while maintaining urban agility.

Fuel Economy

Very good fuel economy, slightly better than the 4WD CVT due to less drivetrain drag. The mild-hybrid system ensures competitive running costs.

Best Use Case: Mixed city and highway driving for those who prefer an automatic transmission and slightly more power without needing 4WD.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Excellent fuel economy across the range due to mild-hybrid technology
  • • Compact size makes it highly agile and easy to park in urban environments
  • • Optional AllGrip 4WD system provides genuine capability for light off-roading or challenging weather
  • • Surprisingly spacious interior and practical boot for its exterior dimensions
  • • Distinctive and charming styling that stands out from competitors
  • • Suzuki's reputation for reliability and low running costs

Cons:

  • • Modest engine power, especially the 83 Hp variants, can feel strained on highways
  • • CVT transmission, while smooth, can be noisy under hard acceleration
  • • Interior materials are generally hard plastics, reflecting its budget-friendly positioning
  • • Rear passenger space is adequate but can be tight for taller adults on longer journeys
  • • Small fuel tank capacity (30L) means more frequent refueling stops despite good MPG
  • • Basic safety features on entry-level trims (referencing 3-star NCAP without safety pack)
