The Suzuki Across is Suzuki's largest SUV: a five-seat plug-in hybrid with 298bhp, all-wheel drive and a 490-litre boot, sold in a single, heavily equipped trim. This guide explains who it suits, what the powertrain means day to day and what to check before you order.
The Suzuki Across is a five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV. It pairs a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an 18.1 kWh battery for 298 bhp, all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, in a body measuring 4.64 metres long.
It suits drivers who want a family-sized SUV with a proper plug, real electric-only commuting and the security of four driven wheels. Company car drivers have always been its natural audience, because plug-in hybrids with a usable battery sit low on the benefit-in-kind scale.
The choice here is refreshingly simple: one body, one powertrain and one trim, called Across. You pick a colour and that's largely that.

The Across is Suzuki's plug-in hybrid family SUV, on sale in this form since 2020, and it sits well above the brand's smaller models in size, power and price. Five seats, a 490-litre boot with the rear seats up and 1,168 litres folded.
Reviewers consistently make two points. First, the plug-in system is one of the better ones in the class, with performance that catches people out - 0-62 mph takes 6.0 seconds. Second, the ride is firm and the petrol engine gets vocal when you work it hard through the single-speed automatic.
Warranty cover is three years or 60,000 miles, with the drive battery covered for five years or 60,000 miles. Servicing is every 12 months or 12,500 miles.
Because every Across arrives with the kit list already filled in. There are no trim decisions and no long options sheet to price up, which removes most of the guesswork from a lease order - you're choosing colour, term and mileage, not specification.
Adaptive cruise control, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, keyless entry and start, a hands-free tailgate, dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are all standard.
So is the safety equipment: blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. Practical touches include roof rails, privacy glass and braked towing of up to 1,500 kg.
There's only one, so the real question is whether a plug-in hybrid fits your life. It does if you can charge at home or at work most days and still want petrol range for longer trips.
A 2.5-litre petrol engine works with an 18.1 kWh battery (14.5 kWh usable) for 298 bhp and all-wheel drive, through an automatic gearbox. Charging is AC only at up to 7 kW, with 0-100% in 2.8 hours at 7.4 kW on the best version. Without regular charging, you're carrying the battery around for nothing.

There's one trim, named Across, so the decision is made for you - and it's the generously equipped end of the scale rather than a starting point.
The Across rides on 19-inch polished alloy wheels and has artificial leather upholstery with a synthetic leather instrument panel. A smartphone link display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a heated steering wheel and a rear parking camera are included, along with 298 bhp and all-wheel drive.
Six colours are offered across the range: Attitude black, Dark blue, Grey, Platinum white, Sensual red and Silver. Availability of any particular colour and delivery timing depend on what's in the system when you order, so it's worth checking the individual Across deals before you settle on one.
If you're weighing up contract length and annual mileage against a plug-in hybrid's running costs, our guides to electric and hybrid leasing and choosing your car are a sensible next read. You'll find the rest of the range on our Suzuki leasing page.
Shoppers looking at the Across often also look at the Volvo XC60, the JAECOO 8, the Hyundai Santa FE and the Lexus NX. All are mid-to-large family SUVs offered with electrified powertrains.
