The Suzuki Across, known as the Victoris overseas, will launch in South Africa soon.

Now, before this compact SUV’s imminent arrival, the Japanese marque’s local arm has revealed pricing for the newcomer.

The Across, produced at Maruti Suzuki’s Kharkhoda assembly plant in India, is underpinned by the brand’s Global C architecture. The Across measures 4 360mm in length and 1 655mm in height, making it both longer and taller than the compact SUV with which it shares a platform, the Grand Vitara. However, it shares the latter model’s width and wheelbase –  1 795mm and 2 600mm, respectively.

Locally, the Across will be powered by Suzuki’s ‘K15C’ powertrain, which pairs a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with the firm’s 12V SHVS (smart hybrid vehicle by Suzuki) tech – the latter utilising an integrated starter generator (ISG) and a lithium-ion battery to improve fuel efficiency. This mild-hybrid setup churns out 75.8kW and 139Nm of torque. Two transmission options are available: a five-speed manual or a six- speed automatic.
