Author: Radomskyi Maksym VasyliovychSuzuki Swift Sport ZC33S is the “hot” Swift unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2017 and sold from 2018. The hatchback, weighing about 975 kg, received a 1.4-liter BoosterJet turbo engine producing 140 hp and 230 N·m, and in 2020 in Europe it gained a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The European version stayed on the production line until March 2024, while the final Japanese run, the Final Edition, lasted until November 2025. The new Swift for 2024 does not yet have a Sport version.

What Swift Sport ZC33S is
Swift Sport is the tuned version of the compact Suzuki Swift hatchback. The ZC33S generation is built on the same platform as the regular Swift from 2017–2024, but it received its own engine, suspension tuning, 17-inch wheels, and different styling. Unlike its predecessor with a naturally aspirated engine, the ZC33S got a turbo engine.
The main idea of the model is low weight. According to UK test drives, the Sport weighed 975 kg—under a ton and about 80 kg lighter than its predecessor. That is why 140 hp was enough for 0–100 km/h in 8.1 seconds.
What specifications the Swift Sport has
The table shows data for the first (2018) and hybrid (2020–2024) European versions based on publicly available specifications and the ADAC catalog.
| Parameter | Swift Sport 2018 | Swift Sport Hybrid 2020–2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.4 L BoosterJet, turbo, 4 cylinders | 1.4 L BoosterJet + 48-V starter-generator |
| Power | 140 hp (103 kW) | 129 hp (95 kW) |
| Torque | 230 N·m | 235 N·m from 2,000 rpm |
| Transmission (Europe) | 6-speed manual | 6-speed manual |
| Drive | front-wheel drive | front-wheel drive |
| 0–100 km/h | 8.1 s | 9.1 s |
| Top speed | about 210 km/h | 210 km/h |
| Weight | 975 kg | 1,095 kg (EU standard, with driver) |
| Length / width / height | 3,890 / 1,735 / 1,495 mm | 3,890 / 1,735 / 1,480 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,450 mm | 2,450 mm |
| Tires | 195/45 R17 | 195/45 R17 |
| Trunk | 265 L (579 L with seats folded) | 265 L (579 L) |
| Fuel tank | — | 37 L |
| WLTP consumption | — | 5.6 L/100 km, CO₂ 125 g/km |
Trunk volume differs across sources (242 or 265 L) depending on the measurement method. In some markets, including Japan and Australia, the Sport was also offered with a 6-speed automatic; in Europe, it was manual only.
How the 2020 hybrid version differs from the first
In April 2020, the European Swift Sport switched to the Smart Hybrid system with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery. A 10 kW starter-generator helps the engine during acceleration and provides higher torque at lower revs—235 N·m from 2,000 rpm.
The price of hybridization was EU CO₂ emissions requirements: the engine output dropped from 140 to 129 hp, and weight increased. On paper, acceleration worsened from 8.1 to 9.1 seconds, although in everyday driving the low-end pull became smoother. The Japanese version remained without the hybrid system.
How the Sport differs from the regular Swift
The body and dimensions are the same as the Swift 2017–2024, but the Sport has its own styling:
- a different front bumper with a large grille and honeycomb mesh;
- side sill trims and a rear diffuser;
- two exhaust tips;
- 17-inch alloy wheels with 195/45 R17 tires;
- sport front seats with pronounced side bolsters and red accents in the interior.
That is why body-related items (wind deflectors, sill trims, floor mats) usually fit the Sport as well, while bumpers and body kits do not: their geometry is different.
When production ended and whether there will be a new Swift Sport
In Europe, the hybrid Swift Sport was produced until March 2024, together with the generational change of the regular Swift. In Japan, production of the standard version stopped in February 2025, and as a farewell Suzuki introduced the ZC33S Final Edition series on December 17, 2024: sales started on March 19, 2025, and production ran until November 2025. The Final Edition differed in styling—a gloss-black grille, 17-inch wheels, stickers on the rear pillars, and gradient inserts in the interior; the engine remained the same.
The new Swift 2024 in Europe is offered only with the 1.2-liter three-cylinder naturally aspirated Z12E engine with a 12-volt mild-hybrid system (61 kW), a manual or CVT, and front-wheel or all-wheel drive. A Sport version based on it has not been officially presented: as of June 2026, the press has only rumors about development, and Suzuki has not confirmed anything. More about the new Swift is in our review of the Suzuki Swift 2024 and on the Swift 2024 tuning page.
Which accessories fit the Swift 2017–2024
Swift Sport ZC33S is a car people now look for on the used market, and owners usually tidy up what wears out: floor mats, sill protection, wind deflectors. Everything selected for the Swift 2017–2024 body is collected in the Suzuki Swift 2017–2024 tuning section.
- EVA floor mats hold water and snow in the cells and do not get soggy; for winter this is the most practical option. Color choices are in the floor mats for Swift 2017–2024 section.
- Trunk mat—EVA or textile, protects the lining of the compact trunk.
- Wind deflectors let you ventilate the cabin in the rain; see deflectors for Swift 2017–2024.
- Rear bumper sill plate made of stainless steel protects the paint from scratches when loading.
