This is how much the all-new Suzuki Across will cost in South Africa

Suzuki has announced local pricing for its all-new Across line-up, which will be launched to South African media next week.

Manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India — where it is known as the Victoris — Suzuki says the Across is its most advanced SUV yet. Positioned above the Grand Vitara in the model hierarchy, it is also the brand’s most spacious model, with a length of 4,360mm.

From launch, the Across will be offered with a 1.5l K15C four-cylinder mild-hybrid powertrain across the range and will be available in three variants: the GL with a five-speed manual transmission, the GL with a six-speed automatic, and the range-topping GLX with a six-speed automatic.

In overseas markets this unit produces 76kW and 139Nm of torque, while claimed fuel consumption is 5.3l/100km.

According to Suzuki South Africa’s website, the SUV is equipped with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch HD capacitive touchscreen infotainment system on GL and GLX models. Higher-spec GLX derivatives add features such as a Harman Infinity premium eight-speaker sound system, 64-colour ambient lighting, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and ventilated front seats. GL and GLX derivatives also feature a smart powered tailgate.

Pricing starts at R349,900 for the Across 1.5 mild-hybrid GL 5MT. The GL 6AT is priced at R372,900, while the flagship Across 1.5 mild-hybrid GLX 6AT costs R464,900. Customers opting for the GLX model can also specify a two-tone exterior finish for an additional R4,500.

All prices include VAT. The range is sold with a four-year/60,000km service plan and a five-year/200,000km promotional warranty.

Further details about the Suzuki Across will be released during the media launch taking place from March 17 to 19.
