At the Paris Motor Show Suzuki unveils Project Splash, a design study based on the "a car for everybody" idea. The key elements that guided the development process were driveability, passengers comfort and interior modernity.

As Toshihiro Suzuki, Board Member and Senior Executive Director, explains "our goal is a car for all people: young and senior, male and female, single, couples and families in every driving situation [...]."

Future production will depend on the public's appreciation level.

Exterior Design

According to Suzuki, "the exterior design of Project Splash embodies the energy, youthfulness, and delight suggested by a splash of water. Sharp lines, bold contours and chrome accents give the body a sporty and appealing look."

The strong-looking face incorporates long, slim LED headlights and a large grille. The side view is characterized by floating-look chrome A-pillar covers and by chrome side mouldings. The side mirrors incorporate a turn-signal lamp and a rear-view camera.

The relatively tall body allows for ample occupant space, and the rounded-designed rear-end features LED lamps and integrated dual exhaust tailpipes.

Interior

The interior is focused on enjoyment and ease of use concepts. The entire cabin features a contemporary look defined by gentle curves and the blue-based colour scheme. A panoramic roof gives passengers a sense of openness.
