Outputs remain unchanged though at 75kW/135Nm.
Taking centre stage is the second option, the Toyota-made hybrid that combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 59 kW electric motor for a total system output of 85 kW.A first for Suzuki in South Africa, the hybrid will also come with the option of the brand’s AllGrip all-wheel-drive system sporting four modes; Auto, Snow, Sport and Lock. Selecting the all-paw system means a ground clearance of 210 mm and standard inclusion of Hill Descent Control.
