Suzuki Across 2026: price, electric range and specs
© suzuki-media.jp
The clearest sign of the Suzuki Across's generation change isn’t the styling — it’s two numbers. Battery capacity has grown from 18.1 to 22.7 kWh, roughly a 25% increase, while the claimed electric range has jumped from 75 to 129 km, up 72%. The new plug-in hybrid can now be ordered in Germany for €55,490, with first deliveries arriving this autumn.
There’s no powertrain choice to make. The Across is offered only as an all-wheel-drive PHEV in the top Comfort+ trim. The system pairs a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with two electric motors for a combined 227 kW, or 309 hp. The 22.7 kWh battery delivers up to 129 km of WLTP electric range, and CCS fast charging tops out at 50 kW DC.
By comparison, back in spring the previous Across appeared in our plug-in hybrid roundup with a range of around 74–75 km. The new 129 km isn’t a cosmetic bump: for an owner driving roughly 50–60 km a day, the car can potentially cover two workdays without starting the gasoline engine.
The technical donor is once again the Toyota RAV4. In Germany, the new RAV4 PHEV starts at €49,990, or €5,500 cheaper than the Across — though it’s not a direct comparison: the base Toyota is front-wheel drive with 272 hp, while the Suzuki comes straight in with 309 hp, E-Four all-wheel drive, and the top trim. That lineup gap was already visible in our story on the new RAV4’s European launch. Toyota officially offers PHEV versions with 272 and 309 hp, with up to 137 km of range.
Equipment on the Across includes a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, power-adjustable front seats, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and a power tailgate. Super White is included in the price; the other three colors cost €990 extra.
It’s a telling case: Suzuki isn’t trying to make the Across a cheaper RAV4. The German-market model arrives straight away with the top trim, all-wheel drive, and the most powerful PHEV system — and the main change from the previous generation is an electric range that’s now nearly twice as usable for daily driving.
