Suzuki has unveiled two world-premiere concept models, the iK-2 and the iM-4 in Geneva.
New environmental technologies from Suzuki featured in the two models will also be introduced; these are a new-generation platform; the BoosterJet, a new downsized direct-injection turbo petrol engine; and the SHVS mild hybrid system.
The iK-2, the smartest compact car developed by pursuit of compact hatchback ideals and built around the theme of “Harmonised Force.” All elements expected in a car of this size — design, utility, comfort, manoeuvrability, driving performance, fuel efficiency are all combined at a high level to raise compact car values to the limit.
The iM-4, the iconic mini 4×4 which expands possibilities and enjoyment of a compact car. Following the theme of “Shape the Inspiration”, the iconic mini 4×4 integrates Suzuki’s DNA in the field of developing compact 4×4’s with the latest technology, all in a distinctively designed package, and gives real inspiration to drivers.
The S-CROSS was introduced in 2013, followed last year by the Celerio, and this year the Vitara will go on sale.
In its latest incarnation and as unveiled last year at the Paris Motor Show, the Vitara is a new kind of SUV: personalisable to match each driver’s individual tastes to meet today’s needs, yet offering superb 4WD performance and driving confidence thanks to Suzuki’s latest ALLGRIP 4WD system, plus advanced safety features. The new model will go on sale this spring with an annual target of 70,000 units. Suzuki will continue introducing new models each year in Europe, proposing drivers new values of compact cars.
