Suzuki says its designers have retained the overall visual signature with only minor changes, among them a distinctive chromed line between grille and a large Suzuki badge and a lower section that carries the front registration plate.
The grille has is said to have a more distinctive mesh that emphasises what Suzuki describes as a sporty nature, and the GL and GL units have added are front foul-weather lights while the entry-level GA now has full wheel-covers and rear parking sensors while the GL adds rear parking radar and more two-tone paint options.
The range-topping GLX also adds a high-resolution reversing camera that displays its image on the touch screen infotainment system. On the GLX, you can specify any of the tone-colour options and you receive attractive, new 15″ polished alloy wheel rims.
