Suzuki will introduce the revised Across generation in October, which is technically almost unchanged and adopts the hybrid drive and many components from the Toyota RAV4. The plug-in hybrid combines a 150 kW electric motor at the front with a 105 kW combustion engine and a rear motor of up to 40 kW; the combined system output is 227 kW. The 22.7-kWh battery enables a WLTP range of 129 km, charges three-phase up to 11 kW or by DC at 50 kW, and combined petrol consumption is stated as 5.4 l/100 km. The Across comes with limited equipment options and a list price of €55,490. » More on heise.de

Suzuki unveils the crossover bike SV-7 GX, which surprisingly uses the old 645 cc 90‑degree V2 from the SV 650 instead of the new 776/800 cc inline twin. The model shares many components with the SV 650 but adds new bodywork, a TFT display, quickshifter, three riding modes and improved touring comfort, with a likely price below €9,000. With a larger tank and practical equipment, Suzuki aims to revive weak sales; the brand recorded a 37.5% drop in new registrations through October. » More on heise.de

However, the ambitious pricing compared to the base version may raise questions about value for money. » More on heise.de
