Overview

Although well known for its inexpensive four-wheel-drive models, Suzuki is less renowned for its conventional cars. The Swift supermini has sold steadily but is now showing its age, the bigger Baleno was keenly priced and well equipped but sold poorly. With the Liana (the name means ‘Life In A New Age’), Suzuki hope to raise their profile in this highly competitive market, winning sales with individual looks and low running costs.
