Suzuki Liana Sedan launched in Ireland

16 May 2002: Suzuki has launched its new four-door Liana in Ireland, replacing the Baleno.

The specification for the 1.3-litre GL model includes dual airbags, electric windows and mirrors, and central locking, while the 1.6-litre GLX model has, in addition, side airbags, air conditioning and ABS as standard.

Prices for both 4-door models are the same as the hatchback models. The 1.3 GL is 17,314 euros; the 1.6-litre GLX is priced at 19,879 euros.

Colours available are grove green pearl metallic, silky silver metallic and bluish black pearl. The 1.6-litre also comes in cassis red pearl.

The Liana Sedan returns a claimed fuel consumption of 42.1mpg for the 1.3 and 38.1mpg for the 1.6.

Niall O’Gorman of Suzuki Ireland said they hope to sell in excess of 500 units of all Liana models a year. Some 23 percent of these will be sedans if the model follows the segment profile, while within the 4-door sales he expects a 50/50 split between the 1.3- and the 1.6-litre versions.
