Suzuki Australia joins Toyota in committing to hybrid powertrains for most models, first BEV to launch in 2025

AutoExec Summary: Suzuki Australia plans to transition to a hybrid-focused range over the next 18 months, starting with the Swift Hybrid on June 15. By late 2025, most models will feature petrol-electric hybrid drivetrains, with the introduction of a flagship battery electric vehicle (BEV) expected by the end of that year. General manager Michael Pachota aims for a complete hybrid platform, although some models like the Jimny and Ignis will remain non-hybrid during the transition. The BEV is anticipated to be priced around $50,000.
