In case people started putting the Splash out of their mind, Suzuki decided to liberate a revised version of the latest press release and while they were at it, they threw in a bunch of new images included one with the interior which is 100% identical to the one found in its Opel clone, the ’08 Agila. We remind you that, with identical engineering, the main visual differences between Splash and Agila include different styling at front (bonnet, wings, headlamps and bumper) and rear (tailgate, tail lights and bumper). Both cars will be built at Suzuki’s European factory in Esztergom, Hungary.
Back to the Splash, based on a 30 mm shorter wheelbase version of the Swift’s platform, it will rival cars like the Fiat Panda and the forthcoming Hyundai i10 (Atos). Suzuki will offer the Splash with three engine options, a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol unit producing 65Hp, a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 86 Hp and a 1.3-litre common-rail direct injection diesel engine producing 75Hp. Like the ’08 Agila, the Splash will make its first public appearance in Frankfurt with sales staring in Europe next spring.
