Suzuki Swift is the 'Best Small Car' for 2025!

The Suzuki Swift has been named 'Best Small Car' at the prestigious 2025 UK Car of the Year (UKCOTY) Awards. 

The Swift came out on top following rigorous testing from the expert panel of judges, pitting the hybrid supermini against many of its market rivals. The Suzuki Swift will now face off against its fellow UKCOTY category winners for the honour of being named the overall UK Car of the Year 2025.

The panel, made up of motoring journalists and automotive experts, heaped praise on the Swift for its high level of equipment as standard, efficient hybrid system, and overall excellent value for money. 

“Practical, good-value small cars are few and far between these days, but it's Suzuki to the rescue with the Swift, which provides honest motoring at a reasonable price, and with low running costs to boot. It's good fun to drive and comes with plenty of equipment,” - Alex Robbins.

“The Swift strikes the right balance between good value, economy and curb appeal. Although it's a small car, its square proportions make the boot space - especially with the seats down - very practical,” - Trinity Francis. 

“An unbeatable combination of reliability and efficiency, thanks to its straightforward powertrain. In a market filled with complex vehicles, the Swift offers a refreshing simplicity, all while maintaining an affordable price tag that makes it accessible for a wide range of drivers,” - Natasha Chatten.

This latest award is yet another feather in the cap of the new Suzuki Swift, following its launch in Spring 2024. The Swift has also been named 'Best Small Car 2024' by Top Gear and 'Best Affordable Hybrid 2024/'25' by Best Cars of the Year. 

The entry-level Motion trim offers 16-inch wheels, LED headlights, navigation, rear view camera, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, Adaptive Cruise Control, wireless smartphone link, keyless entry & start, lane departure warning and blind spot monitor - all as standard!

The top spec Ultra model adds polished alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, rear passenger heater outlet, and electric folding door mirrors that incorporate side turn indicators. 

Performance was further fine-tuned too, with an improved 55.4MPG and CO2 emissions reduced to just 99g/km. You can find the award-winning Suzuki Swift at Chapelhouse Suzuki with up to 7 years warranty and 0% APR available!
