Suzuki Swift Hybrid Named Best Small Car at the 2025 UK Car of the Year Awards

Date Posted: 21 February 2025

Sherwoods Suzuki is thrilled to announce that the Swift Hybrid has been awarded the title of Best Small Car at the 2025 UK Car of the Year Awards (UKCOTY). The Swift was selected as the winner after undergoing extensive testing by the judges, who assessed it against its main competitors.

Several jury members shared their thoughts on the decision:

“Practical, value-for-money small cars are rare these days, but Suzuki comes to the rescue with the Swift, offering honest motoring at an affordable price and low running costs. It’s enjoyable to drive and packed with features, even in its entry-level version,” said Alex Robbins.

“The Swift strikes a perfect balance between value, efficiency, and style. Despite its small size, its boxy design provides excellent boot space, especially when the seats are folded down,” added Trinity Francis.

“The Swift offers an unbeatable mix of reliability and fuel efficiency, thanks to its simple yet effective powertrain. In a market dominated by complex vehicles, the Swift stands out with its refreshing simplicity and affordable price, making it accessible to a wide range of drivers,” explained Natisha Chatten.

Launched in Spring 2024, the latest Swift Hybrid has been well-received for its extensive standard equipment, which includes the latest technology and an enhanced safety specification. With CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km and a competitive price of £19,199 for the Motion model with manual transmission, it offers impressive value.

The Swift Motion grade comes with a comprehensive list of standard features, including 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, navigation, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, Adaptive Cruise Control, wireless smartphone connectivity, keyless entry and start, a Driver Monitoring System, upgraded Dual Sensor Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning, Weaving Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, and advanced Traffic Sign Recognition.

The Ultra grade adds 16-inch polished alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, a rear passenger heater outlet, and electric folding door mirrors with integrated side turn indicators.

Sherwoods Motor Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sherwoods Motor Group Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
