Neat score for this mild hybrid
The Suzuki Swift with mild hybrid powertrain is in theory very economical. It gives it sixth place in the top ten most economical petrol cars without a plug. How little does the Swift 1.2 Smart Hybrid consume in practice? The AutoWeek Consumption Monitor provides the answer.
They are mainly hybrids the list that the colleagues of Nu.nl recently made on the basis of AutoWeeks Fill Carbase. The first four cars for which we gave the practical figures (Nu’s list was based on the manufacturer’s specification) do it with a fully hybrid powertrain. The Suzuki Swift 1.2 Smart Hybrid has a so-called mild hybrid concept. In addition, a starter/generator provides support for the combustion engine, he cannot cover parts entirely electrically.
1 in 20.9 average for Swift 1.2 Smart Hybrid
Suzuki’s factory specification is 4.2 l/100 km (1 in 23.8) for this Swift. No Swift driver who keeps track of his or her consumption in the Consumption Monitor achieves that, but this one achieves, for example, a very deserving 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. That is a very neat score. On average, the Swifts with this powertrain come out at 4.78 liters per 100 kilometers, so a neat 1 in 20.9
The least economical driver records 1 in 17.9 for his Suzuki Swift 1.2 Smart Hybrid. This means that it is slightly higher than the test consumption that AutoWeek had in 2021, where 1 in 18.8 was achieved.
No Fiat 500 Hybrid drivers
The loyal follower will see that we skipped number five on the list. This is because there is only one Fiat 500 Hybrid driver who keeps track of consumption in the Consumption Monitor. Incidentally, the Fiat 500 Hybrid is also a mild hybrid, despite the type designation. In theory, it consumes less than the Suzuki Swift 1.2 Smart Hybrid.
