Suzuki Ireland is launching the all-new mini multipurpose vehicle (MPV) Splash with bags of practicality designed specifically for the European market. It encompasses everything needed for the urban family transportation. Attractive, dynamic styling combined with a colourful interior, it represents a departure from all purely practicality-orientated, traditional models yet is uncompromised in terms of interior roominess, functionality and configurability. The Splash is the first model in the second phase of Suzuki’s world strategy, a phase whose theme is families. It follows the Swift, Grand Vitara and SX4 and epitomizes Suzuki’s ‘Way of Life’ philosophy. It contains Suzuki’s own 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 86 PS (63 kW) and offers a sophisticated combination of smoothness, good low-end torque and fuel efficiency. A 1-litre version will be introduced for 2009. Emitting just 131g/km of carbon dioxide, Splash is eligible for the tax band of €150 per year. It offers cost-effective motoring with fuel consumption of just 5.5L/100km.
