Suzuki iV-4 concept revealed

Although Suzuki is calling the iV-4 a concept, it closely resembles a production model that’s due to be launched in Europe.

Measuring 4,215 mm (13’ 10”) long and 1,850 mm (6’ 1”) wide, the five-door iV-4 will be joining an increasingly crowded compact SUV segment. Among its various potential rivals are the Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008 and Chevrolet Trax.

Apart from its dimensions, the promise of low carbon dioxide emissions and confirmation that the range is to include all-wheel drive versions, specification details are sparse for now. However, Suzuki has said that there’ll be plenty of opportunities for personalisation.

Buyers are going to have to wait a while for the iV-4’s arrival in dealers though, as sales aren’t scheduled to begin until sometime during 2015.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
