The new 2026 Suzuki Across has officially arrived, and it’s more than just a rebadged Toyota RAV4. Suzuki’s flagship PHEV, now features a massive tech upgrade and a more powerful next-gen hybrid system.
With 304 HP, a lightning-fast 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, and an increased pure electric range of up to 75km, the Across is designed for those who want efficiency without sacrificing performance. We explore the new "Island Architecture" interior, the 12.9-inch touchscreen, and the debut of the Head-up Display (HUD).
Suzuki's flagship mild-hybrid SUV, the Across, has just launched in South Africa and it is priced BEAUTIFULLY! This makes me so happy. Sure, the engine is not the most powerful, and the transmission lacks a bit of finess and oomph, but these things can be forgiven when you look at the price, the space, the amount of spec and the overall look and feel of this winner.
The new Suzuki Across has been revealed, bringing Toyota plug in hybrid technology into a refreshed and more refined sport utility package. With updated styling, a smarter interior, and improved efficiency, this model quietly becomes one of the most interesting hybrids in its segment.
Suzuki latest Across blends rugged design with everyday usability, featuring a modern digital cockpit, advanced driver assistance systems, and a powerful plug in hybrid powertrain shared with the Toyota RAV4. Inside, drivers get a clean island style layout, large displays, heated seats, and thoughtful storage solutions designed for daily life. Under the hood, a 2.5 liter engine and dual electric motors deliver strong performance while maintaining low emissions and long range capability.
From all wheel drive traction and Trail mode support to a head up display and hands free power tailgate, the new Across focuses on comfort, safety, and efficiency without unnecessary gimmicks. This video breaks down the design, interior, technology, powertrain, and what makes the new Suzuki Across stand out in the plug in hybrid space.

- The design is mediocre. The grand vitara makes more of an impression with its bolder dimensions esp in glx spec. They haven't done enough with the design for ppl to upgrade. The rear looks like it's trying to be a budget Mitsubishi but meh. It's just the interior and features that's a winner here for Suzuki. Albeit would be Interesting to test drive one though to see if it's a real upgrade esp that it's now with a new engine and geabox- Engine too weak for this size car and the entry level will sell well but the glx at R460k has many competitors that is better. They should have made the top level one around R415k-R430k . Now the gap is almost R100k between top of the range and second, not a easy upsell.
- Hai they really need to work on these blocky interiors, they can honestly do better in that department. They make the car look like it has a 2016 interior. But the car as a whole is nice.
