Suzuki Across 1.5 GLX (2026) Review
Suzuki has raised the bar in its lineup, now offering a new flagship crossover, the Across. We test the newcomer to see if it has what it takes in one of the most hotly contested segments in the passenger car market!
As Suzuki continues its aggressive expansion into the South African C-segment, the Across arrives as its most technologically advanced offering to date. Positioned to bridge the gap between frugal city dwellers and lifestyle SUVs, the Across prioritises efficiency and a massive equipment list over raw performance. It’s a calculated move by Suzuki to offer a premium-feeling family haulier without the premium price tag.
Design
The Across breaks away from Suzuki’s more utilitarian roots with a more dynamic stance and sculpted lines."The front end is dominated by a large trapezoidal intake and narrow LED projector lamps that give it a sharp, authoritative look. The rear is the highlight, featuring a 19-segmented LED light cluster that stretches the width of the car—a design cue usually reserved for much more expensive European SUVs.
Interior
The cabin is refreshingly free of clutter, focusing instead on a 10.1-inch touchscreen and a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster. While the GL model is practical with fabric seats, the GLX pushes into luxury territory with synthetic leather, copper stitching, and an eight-speaker Harman Infinity sound system. The addition of a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats in the GLX makes it feel like a genuine flagship.
Performance and Drive
Under the skin lies the K15C 1.5-litre engine paired with a 12V mild-hybrid system. The Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provides a silent restart and assists under load, but don't expect a performance powerhouse. This car is built for the urban commute and steady cruising. The 5.3 L/100 km fuel claim is the hero here, aided by an efficient start/stop system that makes it a sensible choice for the budget-conscious family.
Verdict
Starting at R349 900 for the GL and topping out at R464 900 for the GLX, the Suzuki Across is a masterclass in value proposition. It might lack the turbocharged punch of some competitors, but it compensates with futuristic styling, a tech-heavy interior, and class-leading efficiency. For the modern family, it’s a compelling package that should be on your shopping list.

2026 Suzuki Across — Plug-in Hybrid SUV Showcase
A full visual look at the 2026 Suzuki Across — a plug-in hybrid SUV offering premium comfort, advanced safety technology, and impressive electric driving capability. Built in collaboration with Toyota, the Across shares its platform with the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.
LEASE:
The 2026 Suzuki Across is not officially sold or leased in the United States or the Miami market. As a result, there are no manufacturer-backed U.S. lease programs currently available. Buyers interested in the Across must import the vehicle through specialty importers, where lease options, if available, are arranged through third-party finance companies.
FINANCE (BUY):
The 2026 Suzuki Across starts at approximately $58,000–$63,000 USD in international markets, depending on trim and destination country. Since the Across is not officially available in the U.S., there are no promotional APR financing offers through Suzuki or U.S. dealerships. Imported vehicles are generally financed through specialty lenders, with rates depending on the lender and buyer qualifications.
INSURANCE:
Because the Suzuki Across is not officially sold in the United States, there are no established U.S. insurance averages. If imported into Florida, owners should expect insurance premiums to be higher than average due to limited parts availability and imported vehicle status. Rates vary by ZIP code, driving history, annual mileage, and insurer.
