Swift Sport

The ZC33S Swift Sport

Suzuki announced the third Swift Sport on 13 September 2017 and put it on sale a week later. It was the first Swift Sport with a turbo: the K14C Boosterjet, a 1.4-litre direct-injection four-cylinder making 140 PS at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm from 2,500 to 3,500 rpm, which drives the front wheels through a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The new HEARTECT platform made it about 70 kg lighter than the car it replaced, at 970 kg as a manual.

Wider tracks than the ordinary Swift made it the first Japanese Swift Sport in the larger three-number size class. Monroe dampers, a torsion beam at the rear, bigger front brakes and 195/45R17 tyres were standard, and the dashboard shows boost and oil temperature. Regular production ended in February 2025, and the Final Edition closed the run in November 2025.

What Swift Sport owners upgrade

Looks come first for ZC33S owners. Aero kits from the exterior range and tail lights and headlights from the lights range, where Valenti is a favourite, are the top sellers.

The small turbo engine gains from freer breathing, so intakes and ducts from the intake range and an exhaust system are the usual first steps, with blow-off valves, catch tanks and coil packs to follow and complete turbo kits for bigger power. Lowering springs, seat rails and LSD upgrade kits finish most builds. GReddy, HKS, Cusco, Monster Sport, Suzuki Works Kurume and Kawai Works are among the names owners choose.

Genuine parts

Check the fuel pump. In May 2025 Suzuki recalled 56,746 ZC33S cars built between 9 August 2017 and 20 April 2022, because the low-pressure fuel pump's resin impeller can swell, rub on its case and stop the pump, in the worst case stalling the engine. A replaced pump is marked by a yellow-green sticker on the ID plate. Service and replacement parts are in our genuine Suzuki parts catalogue.

Wheels

The ZC33S has five studs on a 114.3 mm PCD with M12 x 1.25 nuts, and came on 17x6.5 +50 wheels. Other sizes are listed under wheels that fit the ZC33S Swift Sport.
