Why Lease A Suzuki Across?

If you’re after a plug-in hybrid SUV, the Across has to be on your shortlist. The hybrid system is brilliant, it drives well and – if your lifestyle suits a plug-in hybrid – it will be very cheap to run. The same is true of the RAV4, of course, but the Suzuki badge gives the Across a slightly more left-field image. That will appeal if you’re someone who prefers not to follow the herd and wants to lease something with character. To find out more about how contract hire works, take a look at our easy-to-understand guide to car leasing.

What’s The Cabin Like?

Sharing a cabin with the Toyota RAV4 makes the Across one of Suzuki’s best-built cars. The plastics are much better than you’ll find in a Vitara and the layout is very ergonomic. Everything is just where you expect it to be. All the switches feel solid and substantial, with just the right amount of resistance and a smooth action. You also get plenty of technology, with a digital instrument display and a central touchscreen. The graphics aren’t especially modern, but the screen works well. It’s best when you make use of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems, which give you more intuitive access to your phone’s features, as well as more up-to-date imagery.

How Does It Drive?

The highlight of the Across driving experience is the hybrid powertrain. Not only is the claimed 46-mile zero-emission range achievable if you’re sensible and you don’t need the climate control, but the combination of 2.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor make it quiet and smooth. You barely notice when the engine is running.With the engine and electric motor joining forces, the Across produces 306hp – making this comfortably the most powerful production Suzuki yet seen – which is enough to get you from a standstill to 62mph in just 6 seconds. That’s faster than a VW Golf GTI. With 4-wheel drive, the Across is also capable of light off-roading, so you needn’t worry about inclement weather or farm tracks.Around town, the Across feels light and nimble, despite its size. You sit high up and visibility is good, while the array of sensors and cameras make parking very simple. The long range means you’ll almost certainly use electrical power in urban environments and that means the Across feels swift without being rapid. But the more you exploit its power, the fewer miles you’ll get from a full charge.

The Suzuki Across is a very practical car, with heaps of space for passengers. Those in the front have plenty of headroom, while those in the back also get ample space to stretch out. It isn’t palatial, but you can easily seat 4 fully grown adults in comfort. Kids will have plenty of room back there. The only real catch is the lack of a 7-seat option, but that’s par for the course with a plug-in SUV.
The boot is less impressive, but the 490-litre capacity is still more than respectable. Admittedly, there’s more space in a Ford Kuga PHEV, but the Across is still more than roomy enough for your holiday luggage. You definitely won’t have trouble fitting your shopping or the kids’ school bags inside. And if you do need any extra space, fold down the rear seats to free up almost 1200 litres.
How much the Across costs to run will largely depend on your lifestyle. If you mostly cover short distances and can charge the batteries regularly, you will barely spend a penny on fuel. The long-range battery makes the car perfect for short commutes, school runs and popping to the shops. And if you do need to go further, the petrol engine is still there to keep you moving.
But the real appeal is for company car drivers, who benefit from the low carbon dioxide emissions. The Across emits just 22g of CO2 per kilometre, putting it in a low company-car tax band. That makes it much cheaper to run than a conventional SUV, while the long range makes it even cheaper than some of its plug-in peers.

Models Available

The ‘standard’ Across is the 5-door, 5-seat SUV. It’s a spacious, practical thing with plenty of all-electric range.

Trim Levels

With just 1 trim level available, choices are limited. But that’s no problem because the Across comes with plenty of standard equipment. A 9-inch touchscreen, leather upholstery and a digital instrument display are all included, along with climate control, a reversing camera and heated seats. You even get a heated steering wheel and front parking sensors. The only thing missing is satellite navigation.

The Suzuki Across Vs Competitors

The Across’ most obvious rival is the plug-in version of the Toyota RAV4, with which it shares so much. But there’s an ever-increasing number of alternatives joining the hunt. There are plug-in models of the Ford Kuga and the Peugeot 3008, both of which are great cars, while the funky Citroen C5 Aircross is available in hybrid form.

Suzukis are known for their reliability, which bodes well for the Across. Perhaps more importantly, Toyota’s reputation is even better, so the hybrid Suzuki should have very few issues. And if by some fluke you do have a problem, rest assured there’s a 3-year/60,000-mile warranty.
The Across’ boot measures 490 litres, which should be plenty for most customers. Shopping, holiday luggage and sports equipment will fit in with no trouble at all. If you need extra space, you can fold the back seats down to free up 1198 litres of capacity.
Only 1 version of the Across is available, but it comes with plenty of kit. Touchscreen infotainment, part-leather upholstery and a reversing camera are all included.
Yes, front and rear parking sensors are included as standard on the Across. You also get a reversing camera to make parking even easier.
The Across is a practical car, with a good-sized boot and plenty of interior space. Adults will fit in the back with room to spare and children will have bags of space. There are also numerous cubbies in which to store loose items. Like almost all plug-in hybrid SUVs, there’s no 7-seat option.
A great zero-emission range, refined powertrain and impressive build quality are key to the Across’ appeal. It’s a solid, practical family SUV with everything you need included as standard. And it’s a little bit less conventional than the RAV4.
Leasing an Across with Vanarama is the smartest way to upgrade what you drive.
