Suzuki plans to show two new fuel efficient cars at the 41st Tokyo  Motor Show later this month. The Swift Plug-in Hybrid is ideal if you are travelling low mileages of around 12miles every day and has been designed to run on electric power.

The other car is the SX4 FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) which combines a high performance fuel cell with a high pressure hydrogen tank plus a light compact compacitor. This combination allows Suzuki to offer reduced cell loading and the car is being tested on public roads in Japan.

The Tokyo motor show starts on the 21st October and will run until the 4th November.

Suzuki Grand Vitara

Suzuki GB has added a 1.9 DDiS engine to the Grand Vitara SZ 5-door range and offers two specification levels, the SZ4 and SZ5 grades. Both of the new vehicles have 18-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, in-dash 6CD changer with radio, MP3 audio-compatibility and seven speakers, heated leather seats and automatic climate control air conditioning.

CO2 emissions are reduced to 185g/km and the combined fuel consumption is 40.4mpg. The Suzuki Grand Vitara is the world’s original compact SUV and has been on sale in the UK in the UK since 1988. This new car has also had extensive work implemented to reduce noise engine and drive train noise levels.

Suzuki Alto celebrates 30th birthday

Suzuki has introduced a seventh generation Alto city car this month. The Alto, which was originally launched in Japan in 1979 was a huge success and was exported to Europe in 1981.

This economical “A segment” compact car emits only 103 g/km of CO2 and has a combined mpg of 64.2 and offers fun, style and exceptional value for money.

David Seward, Director of Sales and Marketing, Suzuki GB, explains ” The economic case for the Alto remains just as valid as it did 30 years ago. Motorists are still looking for a car which will make their money go further and a vehicle to enjoy without the worry of stretching their finances or leaving a larger carbon footprint behind”.
