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.

I've been driving Mazdas for about ten years now without problems and with a lot of enjoyment. The last 3.5 years in a CX‑5. A really nice, smooth car that can tow quite a bit too, although I wouldn't recommend doing that with the FWD because it lacks grip on the front axle — so if you fit a towbar always choose the AWD. The only downside I can think of, after long consideration, is... nothing 🤔
