Suzuki does something special with the Swift. In fact, Suzuki has been doing something special with the Swift for years: just like the previous model, there is also an allgrip variant of the current generation. Indeed, four -wheel drive in the Segment of the Skoda Fabia, Toyota Yaris and Volkswagen Polo. Time for something unique.
Unique is this cool yellow metallic sprayed swift. He listens to the name Suzuki Swift Allgrip FX and is a Unicum developed by Suzuki Nederland. So there is really only one of them. Is it a technically adapted Swift that has been squeezed with napbleer, merino wool, suede and skin of a animal species with a much too expensive personalization department? Of course not, but that doesn’t make him any less fun.
The Suzuki Allgrip FX-where FX stands for ‘ F Un’ and ‘E X Plorer’-is, as his name says, an adventurous dressed Swift with allgrip-four-wheel drive. The playful creation has a roof rack from Thule with a cool box and a storage box. It is also equipped with black wheel arched edges and black alloy wheels that are folded around Allseason rubber with high profile. More adjustments: A rubber strip protects the rear bumper against scratches, the Suzuki logo on the tailgate has given way to the brand name written in black and a large LED bar of realert must provide lighting in the darkness. Suzuki Nederland also has the seats with leather and there are rubber floor mats in it, so that after a jar of framework in the mud you do not spread your complete interior with dredger. There has been thought about that.
Suzuki Swift: almost with the feet of the sand floor.
Not all these accessories can be found in the Swift brochure at Suzuki. The one-off is not a sign of what is optional with the Swift Allgrip. According to Suzuki Nederland, it wants to demonstrate with the festive Swift that a compact hatchback is also anything but boring and can do much more than connecting in the traffic jam. In addition, the Swift Allgrip FX helps Dutch consumers remember the existence of the four -wheel drive variants of the Swift. Can you eat a bit with that?
Almost cute
With the Jimny and his predecessors, Suzuki has been proving for decades that you do not need fierce power to get along in the field. With the Suzuki Swift Allgrip proves that you also do not need a low gearing or permanent four -wheel drive to get ahead in the Mulle Sand. Under normal circumstances, the Swift Allgrip is simply a front -wheel drive. The adventurer has a hydraulic coupling for the almost cute under its back, stabbing differential. As soon as the front wheels lose grip and there is a difference in rotation speed between the front and rear wheels, the oil expands through heat. The pressure that this creates activates the coupling. The result: the rear wheels assist when needed. So you hardly have to do anything for that, except for the accelerator pedal to keep kicking when the site gets a bit rougher.
If the whole thing starts to run in this differential, the Swift can suddenly a lot.
First of all: a Swift Allgrip cannot be at what a Jimny can do. Almost no sandy path or forest road is too much. On the sandy and pits, bumps and even steep slopes littered experience Island in Loon op Zand, the Swift Allgrip proves to be a skilled fun engine. Each Swift Allgrip is 2.5 centimeters higher on its feet than a regular Swift, the one-off is on Allseason slippers with a slightly larger size (195/55R16) and therefore hangs 3.2 centimeters above the sand. There is therefore no sand heights in a literal sense. And we cannot imagine that with a four -wheel -driven Swift area you can see where the nose digs in the sand.
The power of the Swift Allgrip is not only its four -wheel drive, but also his relatively low weight of only 970 kilos. The modest 83 hp and 112 Nm strong mild hybrid 1.2 petrol engine knows more than advice. Sturdy slopes are not a party for the Swift, although-especially as an off-road leek-you should not go back in the accelerator pedal in the event of a loss of grip loss. That is the moment after which the fishing cook coupling and therefore the rear wheels start doing their work. Extensive adjustable driving modes? Forget it. The only way to get more control over how De Swift behaves on unpaved terrain is to turn off the traction control. The Swift-with-Berg shoes is then-assisted by its low weight-struggling extremely controllable through terrain that gives a regular Swift nightmares.
Suzuki Swift: High enough not to dig in immediately.
More for more
In the Netherlands, the Swift Allgrip logically accounts for just a marginal part of the sales mix. Anyone who no longer misses the Jimny missing in Europe and does not aspire or does not need a real offroader from another brand, has a unique intermediate shape on the Swift Allgrip. In contrast to a Swift with front-wheel drive, the Allgrip variant is not available as an entry-level comfort. The extra-grip festival starts with the Select version, which results in a starting price of € 2 8,449. The CVT transmission passes his nose.
Also take into account (slightly) higher fixed costs and operating costs. For the MRB calculation, the Swift Allgrip is narrowly in a higher weight class than the lighter front-wheel drive flavors. The average consumption with 4.9 l/100 km is also slightly above that of the Swift without Allgrip (4.4 l/100 km). Those two liters that a Swift Allgrip likes per 100 kilometers more, seems to us more than worth the off -road arts. If you need it, at least. We can imagine that it as a forest ranger gets warm, but that the average consumer is not waiting for it in the Netherlands. They are in Switzerland. There, more than half of all Swifts sold are a copy with four -wheel drive. We understand why very well.

With the Jimny and its predecessors, Suzuki Has Been Proving for Decades That You Don’t Need Fierce Powers to Get Around Off-Road.

The Modest 83 HP and 112 Nm Strong Mild-Hybrid 1.2 Petrol Engine Knows More Than Enough What To Do With That. Steep Slopes are no match for the swift, although – especiate if you are an off -road novice – you should not shy away from continuing to press the accelerator pedal when grip is lost.
