Coming to a fleet near you
Suzuki isn't just about crossovers and off-road vehicles. It has a long heritage of small cars, and the next part of that story will arrive with the launch of the Celerio next year.
"There will be fleet opportunities with the likes of community nurses," said Suzuki's Dale Wyatt. "It's the most practical car in the segment with a high driving position, really low CO2 and space; it's a really good straightforward proposition." He also claimed it would be the most efficient petrol engine in the city car sector when the Celerio hits the UK, although figures aren't yet available.
The Japanese firm is also adding a new Dualjet petrol engine to the supermini Swift range, with the 90hp 1.2-litre engine cutting emissions by 16% to 99g/km. That figure has helped make the decision to end sales of the diesel Swift, which only accounted for 5% of sales.
