What is the Suzuki Across?
The Suzuki Across is a standout choice in the UK’s plug-in hybrid SUV market, offering a blend of efficiency, practicality and SUV versatility. Based on the Toyota RAV4 PHEV platform, the Across features a 1.8-litre petrol engine paired with a 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, giving drivers the flexibility of around 40–50 miles of electric-only range for daily commuting while retaining the petrol engine for longer trips. This combination delivers a smooth, responsive drive with strong fuel economy, low emissions, and a more environmentally friendly footprint compared with conventional petrol or diesel SUVs.
Inside the Across
Inside, the Across balances comfort and technology. The cabin is spacious and family-friendly, with seating for five and a practical boot that expands when rear seats are folded. Equipment levels are generous even on mid-spec models, including touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, climate control, keyless entry, and a suite of safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. The elevated driving position, comfortable seats, and electronic four-wheel drive (E-Four) system make it suitable for a variety of UK road conditions, from city streets to wet or snowy rural routes.
