The ladder frame has been reinforced, the angular design has been retained and the chassis is defined by rigid axles at the front and rear with trailing arms and Panhard bar. Allgrip Pro all-wheel drive with off-road reduction can be engaged. The engine is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that produces 102 hp. Consumption is said to be 6.2 to 6.9 liters, depending on the transmission. A traffic sign recognition system is included in the range for the first time at Suzuki.
Reminder of the brand off-road classic
The A-pillars have a steeper design, the hood is flatter and the black radiator grille with vertical struts, the round headlights and the separate turn signal lamps are reminiscent of past Suzuki off-road classics. The rain gutters above the side windows are also in no way inferior to their predecessors in terms of functionality.
Flexible trunk and plenty of space for luggage
The luggage compartment can be expanded to 377 liters by folding down the 50:50 split rear seats. That is 53 liters more than in the predecessor. The back of the rear seats and the floor of the cargo area are covered with plastic for easy removal of dirt and stains. Provisions for luggage hooks and other attachments on the sides and floor should allow flexible use of the trunk.
Four-speed automatic transmission is available as an option
Power is transmitted via a five-speed manual transmission as standard. The shift lever has been redesigned to reduce vibrations. A modified four-speed automatic transmission is also available as an option.
