Suzuki Splashes Into Spring Season

Good news for those hatchback lovers; introducing the all new Suzuki Splash which joins an already extensive range of Suzuki passenger cars, SUVs, and MPVs on offer in South Africa and will boost the demand of the brands products even further.

The Splash range comes in three models with a choice of two transmissions and two specification levels for the South African market. The 1.2 GL, which comes with a choice of a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission meanwhile the 1.2 GA is only available with the five-speed manual transmission.

The feisty newcomer’s fresh, youthful styling and versatile layout are expected to endear it to a wide range of buyers – from singles and young families to empty nesters. A compact footprint, tall roofline, comparatively long wheelbase and short overhangs create a surprisingly spacious and practical interior.

The Splash boasts a useful array of standard features. Even the affordable GA derivative features dual airbags and ABS brakes, while the GL version includes additional comfort and convenience items.

“The new Suzuki Splash usefully fills a gap between our popular, entry-level Alto minicar and the highly successful Swift subcompact hatchback,” says Francois van Eeden, national marketing manager at Suzuki Auto SA.

“It provides a level of space and practicality not usually available in the minicar segment. But it’s also fun to drive, thanks to its agile road manners and composed ride. At the same time, its efficient drivetrain keeps running costs low.”

The Suzuki Splash is sold with a three-year/100 000 km warranty, and a two-year/30 000 km service plan. Scheduled services are at 15 000 km intervals.

Prices for the Suzuki Splash are as follows:

1.2i GA            : R124 900

1.2i GL             : R134 900

1.2i GL (Auto): R 149 900
