If you live or work in Dublin, you’ll know the city’s traffic and parking can test anyone’s patience — especially with tighter emissions rules and rising fuel costs. That’s where Suzuki’s low-emission range of compact city cars steps in. At Gerry Caffrey Motors in Terenure, Dublin 6W, we’ve seen a huge shift towards drivers choosing eco-friendly, hybrid, and mild-hybrid Suzuki models that deliver the perfect balance of power, fuel efficiency, and fun behind the wheel.
Between carbon reduction targets, cleaner air initiatives, and ever-rising fuel prices, Dublin drivers are looking for smarter ways to commute. The Irish Government’s Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) now heavily favours low CO₂ cars, while Revenue’s VRT calculator rewards cleaner engines with lower costs at registration.
Driving a low emission Suzuki means you’re not only saving at the pump — you’re also doing your bit for the environment and your wallet. Suzuki’s commitment to reducing emissions aligns perfectly with Ireland’s climate goals, making these vehicles a smart choice for city driving.

The new Suzuki Swift is a compact car designed with advanced tech and helpful safety features that make it perfect for Dublin’s urban landscape. Featuring a 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid engine paired with Suzuki’s Smart Hybrid Vehicle System (SHVS), the new Swift offers exceptional fuel efficiency and low CO₂ emissions, typically around 4.9L/100km.
With features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a keyless entry system, and a 9-inch multimedia display, the Swift delivers a modern driving experience with excellent visibility and agile handling. Its spacious interior and flexible boot space make it more than just a compact city car — it’s a vehicle designed for everyday practicality.
Don’t let the rugged look fool you — the Suzuki Vitara Hybrid combines SUV comfort with a hybrid model that reduces emissions and fuel consumption. Ideal for Dubliners who want a vehicle with a spacious interior and versatility for weekend trips to Wicklow or the coast.
With its mild hybrid system, the Vitara offers smooth performance, lower CO₂ output, and reduced running costs, helping you save on road tax and fuel. Its advanced tech and helpful safety features ensure a secure and comfortable ride in all weather conditions.
The Suzuki S-Cross takes the hybrid advantage further with a 48V mild hybrid system that keeps emissions impressively low. Designed for families or commuters, it offers a spacious interior, modern styling, and a host of safety features designed to keep you and your passengers safe.
Many Dublin drivers choose the S-Cross to reduce annual motor tax and fuel costs, making it a practical and economical choice for city and country driving alike.

Suzuki’s Smart Hybrid Vehicle (SHVS) system is unique because it’s light, simple, and highly efficient — perfect for city driving where start-stop traffic is the norm.
Unlike traditional hybrids that rely heavily on large batteries, Suzuki’s setup uses a compact lithium-ion unit that assists the petrol engine, helping you use less fuel and emit less CO₂.
