Suzuki is opening orders for the second-generation Across, its plug-in hybrid SUV developed through its partnership with Toyota. More efficient and more spacious inside, it is built around a new-generation plug-in hybrid system combined with a 22.7 kWh battery and electric all-wheel drive. Its rugged design, off-road capability and very comprehensive standard specification are aimed at drivers looking for a versatile SUV: capable of running on electric power for everyday driving, it remains comfortable on long journeys. The new Across is now available to order from Segond Automobiles in Monaco and Menton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design and performance: a rugged, efficient and responsive SUV<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new Across has a much more assertive personality. Its front end stands out with a high-set grille featuring simple, powerful lines. Its planted stance, large wheels and generous wheel arches highlight its ability to venture off the beaten track. It measures 4.60 m long, 1.86 m wide and 1.69 m high, with a 2.69 m wheelbase. Four colours are available: Massive Gray, Ever Rest, Super White and Attitude Black.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the bonnet, a long-stroke 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with a high compression ratio (14.0:1) combines direct and port injection. The system automatically switches between the two depending on driving conditions. This engine produces 105 kW (143 PS) and works with two electric motors: 150 kW at the front and 40 kW at the rear. The system has a combined output of 309 PS and is more compact: the power electronics and DC\/DC converter are integrated into the front eAxle, and silicon carbide semiconductors reduce energy losses. Larger than on the previous generation, the 22.7 kWh battery extends the distance that can be covered in all-electric mode. The WLTP electric range of 125 km is currently pending homologation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of performance, the Across accelerates from 0 to 100 km\/h in 6.1 seconds and reaches 180 km\/h. Its E-Four electric all-wheel drive continuously adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear and helps correct both understeer and oversteer. In addition to the NORMAL, ECO and SPORT modes, the E-Four TRAIL mode locks this distribution and manages braking and power on challenging terrain. The chassis combines MacPherson strut front suspension with double wishbone rear suspension, along with ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trim, equipment and technology: a very comprehensive standard specification<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new Across is offered in a single trim level, Style, which includes most features as standard. Inside, the \u2018island architecture\u2019 concept brings together the screens, audio system, electronic gear selector and main controls in a single unit for intuitive operation. The lowered dashboard improves forward visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n
