Motor Minute: Suzuki Across review
The all-new Suzuki Across brings premium SUV styling, advanced tech, and mild hybrid efficiency to South Africa. Deon G finds out if it delivers above its weight.
It's an SUV that refuses to look or feel like a budget buy. The Suzuki Across arrives with a contrasting black roof, panoramic sunroof, and an interior dressed in ambient lighting and synthetic leather. Deon gets behind the wheel to see whether the style is backed by substance.
The big question is whether the Across can compete with more established names in the segment without asking you to spend like them.
Key Highlights
- Bold SUV styling with panoramic sunroof and ambient interior lighting
- 10-inch infotainment screen with wireless charging and USB-C ports
- Digital driver display and synthetic leather seats
- Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring
- 360-degree camera on the GLX trim
- 1.5-litre petrol engine with mild hybrid technology
- Fuel consumption around 5L/100km
- Priced from R349,900 to R464,900
It's practical, polished, and priced to make the competition nervous.
