What brand of engine is used in the Suzuki Swift?
2 Answers
The engine of the Suzuki Swift is independently developed by the Japanese Suzuki company. The engine model of the Suzuki Swift is M15A1, with a maximum power of 76 kW, a maximum torque of 138 Nm, a maximum horsepower of 103 Ps, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. For daily maintenance of the Suzuki Swift's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've driven a Suzuki Swift for several years, and its engine is Suzuki's own product, with common versions mostly using the M15A or K-series engines. These engines are designed to be robust, making them particularly efficient for daily city commuting. They start smoothly with just a light press on the accelerator, and fuel consumption is quite economical, averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Although it's a Suzuki, there might be slight variations in different regions—some countries might use other tuned versions, but the core remains a symbol of reliability. I remember a long-distance trip where the engine ran as steady as an old dog, with low noise and high durability. Friends who've driven Honda Fits even said the Swift is more appealing in this regard. If I had to pick a downside, it would be the slightly insufficient power at high RPMs, but overall maintenance costs are low, so you don't need to frequently visit the repair shop. If you're considering buying a used Swift, make sure to check if the engine is an authentic factory-installed one—avoid randomly purchasing modified versions.
