Suzuki Across Plug-in Hybrid facelift
Suzuki has pulled the wraps off its updated Across Plug-in Hybrid, and the flagship SUV is now sporting a fresh design, a beefed-up powertrain and a serious dose of new tech. The new Across Plug-in Hybrid 2.5 TOP 4WD AT lands on the price list from 20th July, with a launch price of 55,900 euros, and Suzuki is throwing in a tasty incentive for anyone who signs on the dotted line early.
Pricing And Launch Offer
Kicking things off with the numbers that matter most, the new Across Plug-in Hybrid 2.5 TOP 4WD AT is priced at 55,900 euros turnkey (VAT and MSS included, with IPT and PFU excluded). Suzuki is also sweetening the deal with a customer benefit of €4,500 for anyone who finalises their contract by 30th September 2026, making now a rather good time to be eyeing up this hybrid SUV.
A Bolder, More Muscular SUV Look
The design overhaul is impossible to miss. The new Across Plug-in Hybrid rocks a completely reworked exterior, with sharper, more decisive lines and muscular proportions that give it an even stronger SUV presence on the road. A redesigned front end, Full LED light clusters and new 18-inch wheels all play their part in making the Across look more purposeful than before.
Colour options have also had a refresh, with three new shades — White, Grey and Green — joining the existing Black to round out the palette.
Inside The Cabin: More Comfort, Better Quality
Step inside and the Across Plug-in Hybrid has been treated to a proper overhaul focused on comfort, functionality and perceived quality. The new interior layout has been designed to make controls and displays feel more intuitive to use day to day.
On the equipment front, buyers get heated front seats, 10-way electric adjustment for the driver’s seat complete with memory function and electric lumbar support, plus — new for this update — electric adjustment for the passenger seat too.

New Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain: 309 HP On Tap
The real headline here is under the bonnet. Suzuki’s new Hybrid Plug-in system sits at the heart of the Across’s evolution, pairing a 2.5-litre petrol engine with two electric motors and a new 22.7 kWh traction battery. Together, this setup produces a combined 309 hp, which is a properly punchy figure for the segment.
Performance backs up the numbers too, with the Across Plug-in Hybrid capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds, all while still holding onto the efficiency perks that come with electrified power for everyday driving.
AllGrip E-Four: Smart All-Wheel Drive
Suzuki’s AllGrip E-Four electric all-wheel-drive system remains a defining feature of the range, and it’s been carried over to distribute torque intelligently between the front and rear axles. The result is better stability, safety and control across a range of driving conditions. Drivers can pick between Normal, Eco, Sport and Trail modes depending on what the road — or terrain — throws at them.
A Fully Digital Cockpit
Tech-wise, the new Across Plug-in Hybrid steps things up with an advanced digital cockpit setup. That means a 12.3-inch instrument panel, a new 12.9-inch central display and a Head-up Display all working together to keep the driver informed.
The infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a suite of advanced connectivity features and voice command functionality, keeping things properly modern behind the wheel.
Driver Assistance And Safety Tech
Safety hasn’t been left behind either. The Across Plug-in Hybrid comes loaded with a wide range of advanced driver assistance systems, including:
Pre-Collision System (PCS) for proactive braking support
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC + ACC) for adaptive cruise control
Lane Keeping Assist (LTA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDA) to help keep things straight
Proactive Driver Assistance (PDA)
Driver Monitor system to keep tabs on driver attentiveness
360-degree camera for all-round visibility
Space And Practicality
Despite all the tech and performance upgrades, Suzuki hasn’t forgotten about practicality. The new Across offers a luggage compartment capacity of 672 litres, which expands to a generous 1,647 litres with the rear seats folded flat — plenty for everything from the weekly shop to a proper road trip.
Suzuki’s Long Road To Here
Suzuki’s story stretches back well over a century, and it’s worth a quick look at how the brand got to this point:
1909: Michio Suzuki founded Suzuki Loom Works in Hamamatsu, originally producing automated textile looms, which later evolved into Suzuki Motor Corporation.
1952: Suzuki launched its first motorised bicycle, the Power Free, marking its entry into the world of motors.
1955: The Suzulight became Suzuki’s first automobile — a compact front-wheel-drive keicar packed with cutting-edge features for the era, kicking off Suzuki’s automotive business proper.
1965: Suzuki’s first outboard engine, the two-stroke D55, was born.
1970: The Suzuki Jimny (LJ10) debuted as the brand’s first compact 4×4 off-roader, starting a tradition of light, capable off-road vehicles.
1988: The Suzuki Vitara arrived as the brand’s first true compact SUV, blending off-road ability with everyday usability to become something of an icon.
2024: The Vitara returned as Suzuki’s first 100% electric model.
Today: Suzuki continues to build on its international presence with global production and models tailored to markets around the world.
Suzuki has also flagged its ongoing commitment to sustainability, working across its car, motorcycle and outboard motor divisions to strike a better balance between mobility and environmental responsibility — with an eye on both current users and future generations.
