Now available in the country, the XL7 SUV, and S-Presso compact crossover, boasts the modernized classic Suzuki trademark look.

"We have seen our customers progress over the years and it is only fitting that we in Suzuki make sure that we are able to provide them with top-notch vehicles which champion the Suzuki Way of Life! in their everyday lives.

The S-Presso that proudly boasts of the iconic Suzuki SUV design is perfect for our customers who appreciate compact cars that deliver excellent engine performance made to match their needs when it comes to conquering daily challenges on the road," says Suzuki Philippines Vice President and General Manager for Automobile Division, Mr. Keiichi Suzuki

The All-New XL7 is powered by a 1.5-liter K15B engine that delivers an output of 103hp and 138Nm of torque. It is equipped with a new-generation HEARTECT platform that allows for a quiet drive due to improved NVH performance. According to SPH, the HEARTECT platform effectively disperses energy during collision for better safety and gives the XL7 high maneuverability by its greater front wheel turning radius. The XL7 comes equipped with a 10-inch infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto and is priced at Php1,068,000.

The second model introduced, the S-presso, is powered by a 1.0-liter K10B engine mated with a five-speed manual transmission that can produces an output of 67hp. Priced at Php518,000, the compact crossover features Suzuki's Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) body, which scatters collision energy across the vehicle frame to mitigate damage to the car and passengers.

The two new models are available in various new colors such as pearl-finished Brave Khaki and Snow White and mettalic-finished Magma Gray and Sunrise Orange for the XL7 and Sizzle Orange for the S-presso.
