Power and Performance
The Mazda 2 Hybrid is equipped with a full hybrid engine that delivers 116 HP (85 kW) through a front-wheel-drive system paired with a smooth CVT automatic transmission. It achieves a remarkable fuel consumption of 3.8 - 4 L/100km, and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.7 seconds, with a maximum speed of 175 km/h. The combination of a 1490 cm3 engine displacement and a lightweight curb weight of 1180 kg ensures both agility and efficiency, found in a 3-cylinder layout.
On the other hand, the Suzuki Swift offers a mild hybrid engine with 82 HP (61 kW). It comes with both manual and automatic transmission options, and presents the flexibility of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Swift achieves a fuel consumption of 4.4 - 4.9 L/100km, with a varied top speed of 165 - 170 km/h, depending on the model. While it may seem less potent compared to the Mazda, the Swift's engine capacity stands at 1197 cm3, providing a well-balanced performance for its lightweight body, curbing at around 1069-1145 kg.
