The plug-in hybrid SUV market is more competitive than ever, but the new Suzuki Across arrives with a distinct advantage: a foundation built on one of the world’s most successful hybrid platforms.
As a product of the deep-rooted collaboration between Suzuki and Toyota, the new Across is a sophisticated, rebadged version of the latest-generation Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid. By combining Toyota’s world-leading electrification tech with Suzuki’s rugged brand identity, the Across offers a compelling alternative for those seeking reliability and high-end performance.

Bold Exterior Design: Strength at a Glance
The new Suzuki Across makes a powerful first impression. While its silhouette and core structure are shared with the RAV4, Suzuki has introduced a unique front fascia to give the vehicle its own assertive personality.
The design features a commanding front grille and a distinctive bumper that emphasizes its SUV DNA. Large wheels paired with rugged wheel arch cladding highlight the vehicle’s “go-anywhere” capability, making it clear that this SUV is designed for more than just paved city streets.
Available Exterior Colors:
- Massive Grey Metallic
- Ever Rest Metallic
- Super White
- Attitude Black Metallic
Interior: The “Island Architecture” Concept
Inside, the Across mirrors the high-quality interior of its Toyota sibling but adopts what Suzuki calls “island architecture.” This concept organizes displays, audio controls, and the electronic shift selector into a clean, driver-focused layout.
Premium Comfort & Usability
The cabin is designed for both ergonomics and luxury:
- Driver & Passenger Comfort: The driver’s seat offers 10-way power adjustment with a two-position memory function. The front passenger enjoys 8-way adjustment, and both seats feature three-stage heating.
- Premium Materials: Upholstery is a sophisticated mix of fabric and high-quality synthetic leather.
- Generous Space: With a 446-liter (VDA) luggage capacity and a hands-free electric tailgate, the Across is as practical as it is comfortable.
Performance: Next-Generation PHEV Technology
Under the hood lies the heart of the Toyota-Suzuki partnership. The Across uses the same 304-horsepower plug-in hybrid system found in the RAV4 PHEV, ensuring class-leading efficiency and punchy performance.
- 2.5L Engine: The four-cylinder gasoline engine uses a dual-injection system to maximize thermal efficiency.
- Extended Electric Range: Thanks to a high-capacity 22.7 kWh battery and advanced silicon carbide semiconductors, the Across offers a significantly increased pure electric driving range compared to previous generations.
- 0–100 km/h: Despite its size, the Across can hit 100 km/h in a brisk 6.1 seconds.
Standard E-Four All-Wheel Drive
The intelligent E-Four system uses an independent rear electric motor to distribute torque between the axles. For off-road enthusiasts, the manual TRAIL mode provides a fixed torque split and targeted braking to manage low-grip surfaces like mud or snow effectively.
A Fully Digital Integrated Cockpit
The latest generation of the Across sees a massive leap in onboard technology, keeping it at the top of the segment.
- 12.3-Inch Digital Instrument Cluster: Fully customizable with various views, including a dedicated Eco monitor.
- 12.9-Inch Center Touchscreen: Controls everything from the automatic climate system to smartphone-integrated navigation.
- Head-up Display (HUD): Making its debut in the Across, the HUD projects speed and navigation guidance onto the windshield, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road.
Comprehensive Safety & Driver Assistance
Leveraging the latest safety suites, the Across acts as a vigilant co-pilot. Key features include:
- Pre-Collision System: Uses millimeter-wave radar to detect pedestrians and cyclists.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Now features map-data integration to predictively slow down for intersections or toll booths.
- Emergency Steering Assist: Helps maintain lane stability during sudden evasive maneuvers.
The Best of Both Worlds?
The new Suzuki Across is more than just a rebadged RAV4; it is an invitation to own a world-class hybrid with Suzuki’s unique styling and flagship status. By utilizing Toyota’s proven PHEV powertrain and adding a more premium digital experience, Suzuki has delivered a versatile, efficient, and powerful SUV that is ready for the future of driving.
