AllGrip four-wheel-drive technology
Suzuki’s principle of consistent product development and more than 50 years of experience in four-wheel-drive technology have resulted in a wide range of four-wheel-drive Suzuki models that have earned recognition and satisfied customers all over the world.
Suzuki is known and valued as a maker of especially durable four-wheel-drive cars. Suzuki presented its first four-wheel-drive model in Japan as early as 1970, and quite soon Suzuki four-wheel-drive cars became popular all over the world.
In the demanding road and weather conditions of the Baltic countries, four-wheel drive is a necessary addition to a car’s safety equipment. Thanks to Suzuki’s four-wheel-drive system, pulling away is confident on rain-soaked roads as well as on roads slippery with ice and snow.
Top-level technical know-how. Suzuki has long been developing engine technology and drivetrain systems, and the result is reliable, long-lasting cars.
Simple and functional design. Suzuki always looks for simple, well-functioning solutions that help reduce possible faults.
Production quality. Suzuki cars are mostly made in Japan, or in other countries following strict Japanese quality requirements, with great attention to detail and precision.

Better grip, greater driving safety, versatility and ease of use. In short, Suzuki’s AllGrip Select is an especially versatile and effective system that gives the driver greater safety and comfort in changing weather and road conditions.
Japanese culture emphasises the importance of continuous improvement and development. This approach also applies to designing and producing cars, where new methods of raising quality and efficiency are always being sought.
Suzuki makes cars whose equipment is very good for their price. This makes them an attractive choice for customers who value a good price-quality ratio.
Founder of Suzuki
In 1909 Michio Suzuki founded the textile company Suzuki Loom Works in Hamamatsu. With this company he laid the foundation for the brand’s worldwide success story.
AllGrip Auto is an automatic four-wheel-drive system that engages when the front wheels lose traction, transferring power to the rear wheels as well.
AllGrip Select offers the driver a choice of four drive modes: Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock, so the car’s behaviour can be adapted to the prevailing conditions.
In Lock mode, engine power is divided equally between the front and rear axles. It is intended for driving in especially difficult conditions, such as deep snow or off-road. When the speed rises above 60 km/h, the system switches to Snow mode.
AllGrip Select drive modes
The basic mode for everyday driving. The system helps save fuel by mainly using front-wheel drive, but engages four-wheel drive as soon as the wheels start to slip.
Improves handling in corners by sending more power to the rear wheels when needed. It also makes the engine respond faster to the accelerator.
Ideal for snowy and unpaved roads or other slippery surfaces. Snow mode adds stability and improves grip by distributing power to all wheels.
With four-wheel drive locked, engine power is divided equally between the front and rear axles. Intended for especially difficult conditions such as deep snow or off-road.
