Suzuki Takes on a Ssang Yong N O R T O N WAY S U Z U K I • I S S U E 1 4 • D E C 2 0 1 5

Last month we looked at the Celerio Versus the Vazhaul Viva, this month we take on the bigger cars. The Contenders: The Suzuki Vitara Vs. The Ssang Yong Tivoli

N O R T O N WAY S U Z U K I • I S S U E 1 4 • D E C 2 0 1 5

While Ssang Yong is gaining a more positive place in people’s perceptions, Suzuki still leads in front and here are the reasons why. The Vitara is a fashionable crossover that also keeps your bottom line happy, the diesel has already impressed and the petrol is now here to make us smile a little more. Featuring rugged looks, nimble handling and low running costs, the Suzuki makes an interesting alternative to workaday superminis and hatchbacks. The raised driving position and light steering make it well-suited to driving around town, but if you do order the optional ALLGRIP four-wheel drive system and fancy some light offroading, it’s more than happy to oblige.

Suzuki has a long history of building hardwearing, affordable small 4x4s, so its no surprise that the Vitara is offered in both front and fourwheel drive configurations. There’s a choice of a 1.6-litre petrol or 1.6-litre diesel engines, both of which feel sportier than you’d expect, as well as manual and automatic gearboxes.

Inside, the interior design is lifted by a large central clock and a smart, seven-inch touchscreen that’s standard on mid-grade trims and above.

The instrument cluster is simple and easy to rear, while a strip of plastic that stretches across the dash can be ordered in a variety of colours and textures.

In Auto Express’s final reckoning, it’s the Vitara that takes victory. Not only is it faster, better to drive and more refined, but it costs less to buy and comes with all the kit you could need. Plus, it’s practical, robustly built and reasonably cheap to run.

Apple CarPlay will feature in the new Baleno CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE ONLINE

We have some exciting news about the Suzuki Baleno that is expected to land in 2016. It will be one of the first vehicles on the road to feature one of Apple’s latest products- CarPlay.

This innovative car infotainment display will enable your music, messages, phonebook contacts and internet radio apps to be displayed on a central screen, creating the perfect antidote to your traffic madness.

The vehicle was first seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show a few months ago, and has been confirmed to give you a choice between a 1.2L petrol engine (In CVT or manual) or a 1.3L diesel. It has a fantastic selection of features, including UV-blocking glasses, steering audio controls, voice commands, keyless push startstop, reverse parking camera, LED daytime running lights and 16” alloy wheels to name a few!

But let’s get onto the feature that will make the Baleno truly stand out against its rivals - Apple CarPlay.

Apple have confirmed that CarPlay won’t mirror your phone’s display, but provide a way of using your iPhone in a safe manner. No more phone holders, no more Bluetooth pairing and most importantly helping you keep your eyes on the road.

CarPlay allows you to use your apps. Best of all, it’s extremely simple to use- plug in your iPhone via USB, click on connect and you’re done.

MAPS The power and simplicity of Apple Maps come to your dashboard- complete with turn-by-turn directions, traffic conditions and estimated travel time. CarPlay can predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts and calendars.

PHONE Make calls, return missed calls and listen to voicemail. Siri can help you do all these things. All you have to do is ask.

MESSAGES Reading and writing is now listening and dictating. Siri can send, read and reply to your text messages for you, so you never have to look at your iPhone while driving. CarPlay now plays audio messages too, so you can hear from people in their own voices.

MUSIC Access your artists, songs, playlists and your Apple Music membership using your car’s built- in controls.

Or just tell Siri what you’d like to hear. CarPlay also supports additional audio apps that you’ve downloaded to your iPhone for enjoying podcast, music and radio.

The Tokyo Motor Show saw Suzu designs- The Air Tris

The Air Triser

The Air Triser is a versatile compact MPV which features an interior layout to give a feeling of a private lounge. When Parked the Air Triser can be configured to relaxation mode, where the seats swivel to face each other or alternatively into lounge mode, where the seats will move to form a u-shaped sofa.

Passengers can enjoy the entertainment capabilities of projecting media from their smartphones onto a large digital display which extends from the B-pillar up to the roofline.

Other features of the Air Triser include a twotone colour scheme. The vehicle is powered by a 1.4-litre dual-jet engine which aided by an electric motor. We await to hear from Suzuki if this car will be put into production.

uki release two brand new concept ser and Might Deck.

The mighty duck

This fantastic compact pick-up was also revealed at the Motor Show. This motor show centrepiece is described as an ‘urban, fun-orientated minicar.’

It features a pick-up style loading bay and canvas roof, the rear deck can also be raised or lowered and features a hidden storage compartment.

The Mighty Deck has the dinky proportions of a Japanese Kei Car with squared off panels and boxy dimensions. The cabin features a minimalist but modern design with a square steering wheel, wooden dashboard and plenty of aluminium detailing. As far as we know, Suzuki have no plans for production of the Mighty Deck currently, not even in Japan!
