Comparison: Boot space Suzuki Swift vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this Schrägheck?

Imagine this: you're Jeremy Clarkson, and you've just been handed the keys to the latest Suzuki Swift... but all you can think about is boot space. Yes, that's right, the cavern at the rear end of this feisty little hatchback that's more typically concerned with nipping through city streets than hauling your antique chest of drawers. But let's dig into it, shall we? The Suzuki Swift, a car that's zippier than a caffeinated squirrel, has undergone a transformation or two in its time, especially in the boot department. Absurd as it might seem to focus on this, when there’s a whole car to talk about, boot space is the unsung hero of practicality amidst the Swift's charm.

Suzuki Swift - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

How has this cargo-carrying capability evolved, you ask? Well, back in the days of yore (the 1980s), the first generation Swift boasted a boot space of 250 litres - not that you'd fit a grand piano in there, but maybe a small orchestra's worth of violins. Fast forward to the present, the latest model (the Swift 7. Generation 2024-now) stands proud with a 265-litre boot, having seen a slight dip in capacity over the years, most notably during the 4th generation when it dropped to a mere 213 litres. What were they thinking? Nonetheless, Suzuki has seen the error of its ways and steadily increased the space to the current 265 litres, even managing to push it to 980 litres with the seats down. It seems Suzuki's engineers have been playing Tetris on their lunch breaks.

The boot space compared to other Suzuki models

In the grand lineup of Suzuki's wheeled warriors, the Swift finds itself in a rather peculiar position. It rubs shoulders with the likes of the Ignis, sporting a practically identical boot size of 267 litres, just a whisper more capacious and arguably more quirky. And let's not even start on the Jimny - a model that laughs in the face of luggage with a boot space of 85 litres, essentially a glove box on wheels. Meanwhile, the Vitara lounges in the corner, boasting a boot so voluminous (375 litres) it might as well have its own postcode, dwarfing the Swift's comparatively modest offering. Yet, the Swift holds its own with dignity, striking a balance between being a city slicker and a weekend escape pod.

How does the boot space of the Suzuki Swift compare to it's nearest competitors?

But how does our valiant Swift square up against the automotive riff-raff? The VW Scirocco, for instance, sits there with its 312 litres of boot space, smugly thinking it's got one over on the Swift, with an extra 47 litres. The Mazda 3 taunts with its 346 litres, leaving the Swift trailing in its compact dust. Yet, in the arena of wheelbases and overall length, the Swift cleverly compensates with nimbleness and a footprint that's as city-friendly as a scooter. On the other end, the VW Beetle, a direct competitor in terms of quirkiness, offers a paltry 209 litres, making the Swift seem like a cargo ship by comparison. Even the Honda HR-V, with its 285 litres, bows down to the mighty Swift's clever use of space. In the grand scheme of things, Suzuki's marvel proves that size isn't everything, unless we're talking boot space, of course, where every litre counts in the urban jungle.
