The verdict

What's good

  • Mild hybrid gives fuel-economy leadership in the mini-hatchback segment
  • Tall wagon stance delivers class-surprising headroom front and rear
  • Suzuki reliability is among the best in any segment it occupies
  • Optional AWD is genuinely rare in the budget micro-SUV class

What's not

  • Road and wind noise intrude on highway drives at normal speeds
  • Rear seat is cramped for adults on journeys over an hour
  • Infotainment and safety-tech feel a full generation behind rivals
  • Performance is the weakest in Suzuki's current lineup

The engine

Dualjet SHVS

1.2L I4 Mild Hybrid

The same efficiency-minded Dualjet four paired with Suzuki's lightweight SHVS mild-hybrid assist, giving smoother stop-start and a faint electric nudge off the line. The character stays gentle and economy-focused, just with the edges of low-rev hesitation smoothed away.

SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) is the brand's deliberately simple, low-cost electrification path, layered onto the proven K-series engines that power lightweight cars like the Ignis and WagonR.
