Conclusion

We really like this mini facelift. Besides design, comfort and safety features we were impressed by the 2 litre mileage increase and smart engine off system which came in a right time when petrol prices are burdening us. On the flip side, Suzuki did not have an answer to unsatisfactory NVH level. This was a little disappointment. But even so, overall it had decent facelift campaign.
