Meet the One-Off Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: A Rugged Hatch for Off-Road Enthusiasts
Looking for a compact hatch with the spirit of a Suzuki Jimny but the comfort and agility of a city car? The Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX might just be the adventurous blend you didn’t know you needed. While this rugged little number isn’t on sale just yet, it’s the perfect demonstration of what the Swift could become with a few clever modifications—and it’s already generating buzz among Suzuki fans at Tynan Suzuki Kirrawee and beyond.
A Swift with a Jimny Twist
Created by Suzuki Netherlands as a one-off concept, the AllGrip FX is designed to inspire drivers who want a little more dirt-road capability in their hatchback. Built on the standard all-wheel-drive Swift sold in Europe, this special edition boasts lifted suspension, beefier tyres, and bold off-road styling cues that set it apart from the city runabouts we're used to seeing.
Although strictly a concept, the Swift AllGrip FX is a glimpse into how versatile and fun the Swift platform can be—especially for those who love to explore without stepping up to a full-fledged off-roader.
Lifted Suspension and Trail-Ready Features
The AllGrip FX receives a suspension lift that raises ride height by 32mm, giving it a total ground clearance of 172mm—still below the Suzuki Vitara, but enough to handle dirt roads and fire trails with confidence.
Key upgrades include:
- 195/55 all-season tyres on black 16-inch alloy wheels (up from the standard 185/55)
- Black wheel arch surrounds and Suzuki badging
- Thule roof rack for carrying adventure gear
- LED light bar by Tralert for added visibility on off-road tracks
- Rubber bumper guard and AllGrip decals for a tough, trail-ready look
Inside, the AllGrip FX features leather-trimmed seats with custom embossing, rubber floor mats, and even a Dometic cooler and storage box—a nod to weekend adventurers and campers alike.
Under the Bonnet: Mild-Hybrid Power with AWD Grip
Powering the Swift AllGrip FX is a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 12-volt mild-hybrid system, offering 61kW and 112Nm. This setup is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and employs Suzuki’s AllGrip all-wheel-drive system, which sends power to the rear wheels only when front wheel slippage is detected.
While this off-road-capable hatch won’t set any speed records (0–100km/h is a leisurely 13.6 seconds), it shares similar performance to a manual Jimny, making it a playful option for slow-and-steady adventurers.
What About Australia?
Currently, Australian Suzuki Swift models are sold as front-wheel drive only, making them lighter and quicker on paper—but less suited to rough terrain. At Tynan Suzuki Kirrawee, we’d love to see an AllGrip-style Swift make its way Down Under, offering a unique alternative for buyers who want compact dimensions without sacrificing weekend-ready capabilities.
