Suzuki

A most peculiar portfolio from a brand better known for its motorbikes. But just when you’re tearing your hair out over Suzuki’s ridiculously tarty off-roaders and limp city cars, they give us the Swift – a bloody good hatch. Only snobbery stands in its way – and you could change that if you wanted.

  • Suzuki Alto

    Alto

    £7,312 - £9,252

    Suzuki has spotted a not-quite-wide-enough gap in its line-up between the Swift and Splash and filled it with this. A Tata Nano for people who value their legs. 

  • Suzuki Grand Vitara

    Grand Vitara

    £15,021 - £22,396

    The merest hint of real off-road hacking potential, Jeep Wrangler style, is all but obliterated by the spectre of Essex manicurists clip-clopping through Chingford. 

  • Suzuki Jimny

    Jimny

    £11,232 - £12,537

    Not the choice of manicurists, but equally alien to Land Rover Defender appreciators looking for a change. Less comfortable than Gordon Brown during PM’s Questions.

  • Suzuki Splash

    Splash

    £8,987 - £10,792

    Cardboard-box-shaped city car, twinned with Vauxhall’s Agila. Brave move to name it after the noise most owners would like to hear it make when they push it off a cliff.

  • Suzuki Swift

    Swift

    £9,702 - £13,017

    A hatch so cheeky it rocks up at the Mini’s party with a four-pack of Special Brew, trashes the bathroom and leaves with the Mini’s girlfriend. New order?

  • Suzuki SX4

    SX4

    £11,336 - £16,056

    One of those terrifically bad jacked-up superminis, the point of which nobody can fathom. Twinned with Fiat’s equally silly Sedici. Stop this nonsense, d’you hear?
