What is the fuel consumption of the Swift 1.3?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Suzuki Swift 1.3 manual transmission is 6.3L to 7.2L per 100 kilometers. Environmental conditions affecting fuel consumption: Low temperatures cause the vehicle to take longer to warm up the engine, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Road conditions affecting fuel consumption: Factors such as road gradient, surface dryness or wetness, curves, and mountainous roads. Driving conditions affecting fuel consumption: Frequent city driving leads to higher fuel consumption, while normal highway driving results in lower consumption. Degree of tire wear affecting fuel consumption: This also impacts the vehicle's fuel consumption. When tires are severely worn, they may slip, requiring increased engine power output and thus higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Swift 1.3 for over three years, mainly commuting in the city. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, rising to 8 liters in congested urban traffic, and dropping to just over 6 liters on the highway. Maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden acceleration helps keep fuel consumption stable, but in cold weather, the higher air density can increase consumption by about 0.3 liters. Regular minor maintenance every 5,000 kilometers, including changing the engine oil and air filter, also helps save some fuel costs. Overall, this small car manages fuel consumption exceptionally well, making it particularly suitable for beginners or those on a tight budget—economical and hassle-free to drive.
