Suzuki, Fiat, to develop SUV

12 April 2003: Suzuki and Fiat have agreed to jointly develop an SUV based on the new Suzuki A-segment platform. Production will begin in the second half of 2005 at Suzuki's Hungarian plant near Budapest.

The new SUVs will be produced as a five-door version, with either a petrol or diesel engine.

From the autumn of next year, Suzuki also plans to start producing its Concept S model in Hungary, which was shown last year in Paris (above).
