By Byron Mathioudakis · 14 Jun 2024

The Suzuki Swift is, by far, Australia's longest-serving supermini nameplate, and widely regarded as amongst the best. For its sixth generation, a complete redesign inside and out brings a mild-hybrid powertrain, matched to the carryover architecture.

Suzuki S-Cross 2024 review: FWD

By Byron Mathioudakis · 26 Apr 2024

Old and nearly forgotten, the Suzuki S-Cross has struggled to stand out against far fresher and flashier rivals. But, if you're seeking a small yet spacious SUV with effortless performance, unexpected refinement and a practical, functional interior, then the Plus 2WD Turbo deserves a closer look.

Suzuki S-Cross 2023 review: Allgrip Prestige

By Emily Agar · 07 Nov 2022

Is it a wagon or an SUV? Technically, it's an SUV but despite the new rugged facelift, the S-Cross doesn't seem 100 per cent convinced which category it fits into, either. After a week driving it with my family of three, I found that it's a neat little package but it doesn't always deliver.

Suzuki S-Cross 2023 review

By Byron Mathioudakis · 10 Sep 2022

Now in its second facelift, the MY23 S-Cross addresses two previous faults: dated styling and insufficient safety equipment.
