Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced the Japanese launch of the Splash, a user-friendly new compact car that combines brisk performance with outstanding roominess and comfort. The Splash, which is Suzuki’s fourth world strategic model, was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007 and has earned high praise since going on sale in Europe this spring. The Splash is built in Hungary by Suzuki production subsidiary Magyar Suzuki and is the first Suzuki-branded model to be imported into Japan.
Suzuki created the Splash using a platform based on that of the Swift, which is renowned for its high level of driving performance. It newly developed the engine, body, chassis, and seats and tuned them through extensive road tests in pursuit of world-class performance, handling, and ride comfort.
The Splash has a youthful exterior design that’s also the result of extensive research. A tall body enables the Splash to be compact on the outside but roomy on the inside, allows people to step in and out with ease, and realizes great passenger- and luggage-carrying convenience.
