International Motoring news - Fun to Drive Daily

This writer was flabbergasted driving this Suzuki Swift Dzire 1.2 5MT; it was so nimble with hardly any body roll, it felt like the vehicle was running on rails when tackling turns at extra-legal speeds, considering it had 185/65R15 eco tires mounted on steel rims with full wheel covers as standard. While the front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum brakes when engaged, puts the vehicle to a halt when the need arises. The 2015 Suzuki Swift Dzire 1.2 5MT size is ideal for our local roads and in tight parking spaces, with optional rear parking sensors; it not only aids the driver but definitely prevents a collision. Aside from the well-lit red needle gauge pointer, the instrument cluster provided information from range, actual km/l, trip meters, average km/l, odometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge and a clock all came standard. The cool air-conditioning system together with the single din CD/MP3/AM/FM/AUX wired to speakers could keep the passengers cool and with the right music…relaxed. The cabin was fitted with dual front airbags and had a light colored interior that would require more care than a dark colored one while the interior space had adequate elbow, leg and head room and the cargo space was ideal for shoppers. Even at extra-legal speeds the cabin noise was at a very low decibel and the vehicle was stable. Running at 100 km/h the rpm was averaging at 2400 and with 2000rpm it was running at 80km/h, for this writer, this was quite a good formula for fuel economy.
The 2015 Suzuki Swift Dzire 1.2L was pulled by a K12M 1197cc 4-inline DOHC 16 valves VVT MPI petrol engine bolted on to a 5-speed manual transmission that could deliver a lusty 87hp/6000rpm maximum power and 114nm/4000rpm maximum torque to the front wheels. A 42 liter petrol tank maybe small in terms of quantity but for the 1.2 liter petrol engine, this was more than enough to run your errands and go to places where long stretches of roads were of abundance with twist and turns.
