The New Suzuki Splash

The New Suzuki Splash

The new Suzuki Splash is Suzuki’s  new 5-seater compact MPV that’s packed with style and equipment…

Suzuki Splash Design

The Suzuki Splash’s high roofline gives it street presence as well as more headroom and a commanding view of the road. It’s high driving position gives great all-round visibility. The gently rising nose and A-pillars that flow into the roof give a streamlined look and help the new Suzuki Splash cut through the air helping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, its sharp design gives a sleek, agile look on the road. The rear light clusters are set right at the corners to allow a wide tailgate for easy loading. The large multi-reflector headlamps cut through the darkness. Sporty features such as alloy wheels and front fog lamps on the GLS and DDiS models add to its stylish looks. Inside, it’s remarkably big on space with enough room to seat five adults in comfort so even the longest trips can be enjoyed instead of endured. The rear seatback splits 60/40 for extra load-carrying versatility. There are bottle holders everywhere. Air conditioning, remote central door locking, a trip computer and CD/Radio with MP3 are standard.  The range also features a leather steering wheel, a stylish metallic silver ringed centre console featuring a large easy-to-read speedometer with a dashboard mounted rev counter pod.
