The new Suzuki Across officially hit the market in South Africa in March 2026. So, how many examples of the Japanese brand’s mild-hybrid crossover – which has a pricing overlap with the Grand Vitara – were sold in April 2026, its first full month on the local market?
Well, according to figures reported to industry-representative body Naamsa, Suzuki Auto SA registered 231 units of the new Indian-built Across last month, all via the dealer channel. For the record, that’s in addition to the 131 units registered in its (partial) launch month of March.
While the Swift (1 556 units), Fronx (1 113 units) and Ertiga (874 units) led the sales charge for Suzuki Auto SA in April – with all 3 ranking on the list of SA’s 10 best-selling passenger vehicles last month – the Across finished not too far behind the Baleno (337 units) and S-Presso (332 units). That made it the 6th most popular of Suzuki’s 15 model lines.
In the end, the new Across outsold the Dzire (187 units), Jimny (155 units), Celerio (113 units), Grand Vitara (96 units), XL6 (36 units) and Ignis (19 units), not to mention the Eeco panel van (230 units) and Super Carry mini-truck (84 units) that operate in SA’s light-commercial vehicle (LCV) space.
As a reminder, the local Across portfolio comprises a trio of front-wheel-drive derivatives, each employing the Hamamatsu-based automaker’s 76 kW/137 Nm naturally aspirated 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol motor (K15C) equipped with a mild-hybrid system. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic cog-swapper.
The Across 1.5 GL 5MT is priced from R349 900, while the Across 1.5 GL 6AT is positioned in the middle of the range, available from R372 900. Finally, the Across 1.5 GLX 6AT tops the line-up at R464 900.
