1.2 (91 Hp) Mild Hybrid 4WD CVT Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Offers adequate power for its class, especially with the mild-hybrid boost. The CVT ensures smooth, albeit not sporty, acceleration. 4WD provides enhanced traction in varied conditions.

Fuel Economy

Excellent fuel economy for a 4WD vehicle, benefiting significantly from the mild-hybrid system. WLTP combined figures are very competitive for its segment.

Best Use Case: Mixed driving, light off-road, and urban environments where extra traction is beneficial.

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)
