Suzuki Swift Sport – Interior and tech
A cabin with personality; some of it decent quality, some not. Infotainment is a little dated
Equal effort was expended on the interior, which benefits from well bolstered front seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel, though the seating position is more ‘sitting on a bar stool’ than in a bucket seat.
There’s a generous helping of red trim accents – there are red inserts in the doors, dashboard and centre console, plus the same colour is used for stitching in the seat and wheels. Not even the dials (improved by the addition of boost gauges and an oil temperature indicator) escape the paintbrush.
The cabin looks good and is well equipped and laid out, but some of the plastics used lower down look a little cheap and cheerful. It’s also disappointing to find the gearknob is plain plastic item – you’d expect leather at this level.
Still, the Swift is very well equipped and decently spacious. Factor in the improved refinement and you have a car that’s a much more mature proposition for daily driving duties than either of its predecessors.
