Aluminum 16 valve engines use long-stroke designs and long-branch intake manifolds to generate ample torque at low revolutions to carry multiple occupants in comfort. For added performance, the 1.6-litre engine offers exceptional output and torque yet is very fuel-efficient. The smooth-shifting 5-speed manual(GL) and electronically controlled 4-speed automatic (GLX) transmissions excel in performance and ideally suit the torque engines.
Hydraulic power steering enhances driving comfort. Fold down front and second row seats let the occupants take a break on long drives. Available center armrests for second and third row seats add comfort. (GLX) The APV offers high levels of flood resistance with measures including high ground clearance and elevated air intake.
Suzuki's proprietary Tech body directs collission-impact energy away from the occupants, with the nose acting as a buffer for increased protection. The cabin's rigid construction includes side impact beams to resist deformation and help secure a survival space. All models have ventilated disc brakes in the front and reliable drum brakes in the rear.
The elevated positioning of headlights and tailights provides better all-round visibility while reducing their vulnerability in minor collisions. Front ELR seatbelts are available with height-adjustable anchors. ELR seatbelts and head restraints are also available for the outer second- and third-row passenger seats. (GLX)
