Suzuki Planning Product Onslaught

Just as Suzuki prepares to wrap things up in the North American market, their global product line is set to be revamped entirely, with a focus on vehicles like the Nissan Juke.

AutoExpress is reporting that no less than five new cars will debut in the Suzuki lineup, including

  • A new three-cylinder city car to replace the Splash
  • A four-wheel drive version of the highly acclaimed Swift
  • A new B-segment crossover
  • A production version of the Suzuki G70 concept car using Fiat's TwinAir two-cylinder engine
  • An MPV-type vehicle slotting above the Swift

Right now, the last two are under consideration with the others being given a green light. Given that none of those products would really fly in North America, save for the Swift (and that's a longshot at best) it's easy to see why the decision to close up shop was made, rather than invest in North American-specific product.
