The Suzuki Across is Suzuki's take on a roomy, efficient plug-in SUV handed down from its Toyota cousin, marrying sensible practicality with a polished, grown-up driving character. It won't thrill those chasing sporty drama, but for buyers who value measured refinement, low running costs and lots of usable space, it's an unexpectedly accomplished and subtly premium package.
