What is the fuel consumption of the Swift 1.5 manual?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Swift 1.5 manual is between 7-8 liters. Below is an introduction about the Swift: Introduction: Swift, an automobile brand. The Changan Suzuki Swift SWIFT's prototype comes from Suzuki, a Japanese specialist in compact cars, and is described as an "absolutely differentiated new product." Vehicle Design: The flat roof and rounded, cute front design, meeting the National 3 emission standard with OBD, features a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam suspension system, structured as a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. The Swift has a wheelbase of 2390mm; the front lines are rounded and full, the waistline is smooth and flowing, the headlights are adorable, and the flat roof exudes a classic vibe. The waistline on both sides extends from the headlights to the rear of the car, enhancing the vehicle's strong and dynamic image. The front air intake uses a chrome horizontal radiator grille, adding refinement and sportiness. A large Suzuki S emblem is embedded on the front mesh grille, showcasing strong brand confidence.
I've been driving a Swift 1.5 manual for three years. In city traffic jams, the highest fuel consumption I've recorded was 8 liters, while on highways it dropped to just over 6 liters at its lowest. For daily commutes mixing urban and suburban driving, the average is around 7.2 liters. I've found shift timing particularly crucial - shifting around 2000 RPM is most economical. Aggressive acceleration and braking significantly increase fuel consumption by over 1 liter. The AC has noticeable impact - summer city driving with AC can push consumption up to 8.5 liters. I always maintain standard tire pressure at 2.3; when pressure was low, consumption increased by 0.5 liters. Removing heavy items from the trunk reduced consumption by 0.3 liters. Regular maintenance is vital - I use 5W-30 oil changed every 5000km, replacing air filters when dirty, which keeps engine performance stable and prevents fuel consumption fluctuations.
The official combined fuel consumption for the Swift 1.5 manual is 6.1L/100km, but in real-world driving, it typically fluctuates between 6.5-8.5L/100km. City driving in congested areas consumes the most fuel, especially during peak hours with stop-and-go traffic, easily exceeding 8L/100km. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed of 90km/h is the most fuel-efficient, easily staying just above 6L/100km. Compared to similar models, the Honda Fit manual has an actual fuel consumption of around 5.8-7.5L/100km, making the Swift slightly higher by about 0.3L/100km, which is not a significant difference. Fuel consumption increases by about 0.5L/100km in winter due to slower engine warm-up. Older cars should pay attention to carbon buildup issues—before cleaning the carbon deposits in my 5-year-old car, fuel consumption rose to 8.8L/100km, but after cleaning, it returned to 7.5L/100km. I've tested both 92 and 95 octane gasoline, and the difference in fuel consumption is minimal, but higher-octane fuel provides slightly better performance. Overall, the Swift's fuel consumption is above average for its displacement class.
