Swift Range Extender, an electric vehicle suited for daily usage such as shopping or commuting.
Overview of the Swift Range Extender
Swift Range Extender is an electric vehicle equipped with a motor, a battery, and an engine-driven generator, which focuses on its concept “drive the minimal distance needed for daily usage as an electric vehicle”. For short distances such as shopping or commuting, it can run as an electric vehicle by using its battery power charged from a household outlet for approximately 15km. When the battery runs low, it can run by generating with the 0.66L engine-driven generator, therefore it has no anxiety of stopping due to running out of battery.
From the fall of 2010, Suzuki is heading toward more practical development by conducting on-road trials with the purpose of collecting information such as driving data and service technology suited for traffic condition of each area.

Driving modes
EV mode
- It runs with the motor by using only the power charged to the battery.
Range extend mode
- When the battery runs low, it runs with the motor by generating with the engine when needed.
- It is equipped with Engine Auto Stop Start System, which stops the engine at stops such as traffic lights.
- It is also equipped with regenerative brake, which generates and charges to the battery when the brake is applied.
