Suzuki Swift fuel economy questions
Why is the Suzuki Swift real MPG lower than the official figure?
Official figures come from a laboratory test cycle, not the road. Cold starts, short trips, hills, load, tyres and driving style all cost fuel the test does not see. A gap of 10 to 30 per cent is normal; a much bigger gap on one engine usually points at a fault, a heavy right foot, or a diesel that never gets warm.
Where did the Honest John Suzuki Swift Real MPG page go?
Honest John closed in August 2026 and its Real MPG section went with it. This page is where the Suzuki Swift figures now live: rebuilt from the archived Honest John dataset, with the official figures kept alongside, and reopened for new submissions.
