Review: 2023 Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC33S) - Sorry purists, the 6AT is the only option if you want warranty

Review: 2023 Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC33S) - Sorry purists, the 6AT is the only option if you want warranty 01

The moment Naza Eastern Motors, Suzuki’s latest distributor in Malaysia, announced prices of the ZC33S Suzuki Swift Sport here, many lamented that it was too expensive.

When the ZC33S Swift Sport made its debut here, it was priced at RM 139,900, exclusive of sales and service tax (SST). Now that ST has made its return, this B-segment pocket rocket’s price has increased to RM 145,900 – right smack into the FE Honda Civic’s price range (RM 130,700 to RM 166,500).

The FE Civic may offer better value-for-money, but the ZC33S Swift Sport offers more smiles per miles

While the FE Honda Civic offers a far more extensive list of standard features (think Honda Sensing ADAS suite, remote engine start, walk away auto lock, and rear air-cond vents), the ZC33S Swift Sport makes up with more smiles per miles.

Naza Eastern Motor only offers one variant of the ZC33S Swift Sport in Malaysia, powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre K14C 4-cylinder petrol engine that does 140 PS and 230 Nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Sorry manual lovers, there’s no official 6-speed manual on offer.
