How we use engine sizes.
Suzuki Swace fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Suzuki Swace from 2020 to 2024. On the WLTP test (listings 2020 to 2024), official combined fuel economy for its petrol hybrid versions ranges from 56.5 to 64.2 mpg, with CO2 of 102 to 103 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was

Suzuki Swace safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Suzuki Swace since 1992, the first in 2025. The most recent was launched on 10 December 2025.
Combination Meter Reprogramming or Replacement – Early Notification
Launched 10 December 2025DVSA recall R/2025/314Manufacturer ref. R25/03 & R25/04
Defect
On affected vehicles equipped with a combination meter system where various information is displayed (warning and indicator lights vehicle gauges messages etc.) due to improper programming the memory device within the combination meter can deteriorate. If this occurs the monitor will not be displayed after IG-ON and will remain in this state permanently. Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions.
Remedy
For Across (PHEV) models check and install modified software or if necessary replace the combination meter. For Swace models install modified software.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Suzuki Swace. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
