Thank you for this video 😍 The model presented is the “old” model released in 2021, and not the one released in mid-2023, so it only charges at 3.3 kW ! We see it in the old instrument cluster, and the old multimedia. And it is not a CVT box but an epicyclic gear train specific to Toyota. Besides it's a Toyota, built by Toyota, Suzuki simply put another front buckle and the acronym "Suzuki" Le modèle présenté est "l'ancien" modèle sorti en 2021, et pas celui sorti mi-2023, donc il ne charge qu'a 3,3 kw ! On le voit à l'ancien combiné d'instruments, et à l'ancien multimédia. Et ce n'est pas une boite CVT mais un train épicycloïdal spécifique aux Toyota. D'ailleurs c'est une Toyota, construite par Toyota, Suzuki a mis simplement un autre boucler avant et le sigle "Suzuki"
Why would anyone buy this Suzuki new when for the same money you get the Rav4 Phev which in top trim gets you a HUD, a pan roof, proper leather interior , sat nav and a ten year warranty compared to Suzuki's paltry three year warranty. No brainer as they say. However Suzuki gives you a heated steering wheel whereas for reasons that defy logic Toyota do not though Toyota also gives you heated and ventilated seats ....
Yup, it's strange how the Toyota right now is cheaper than the Suzuki. It didn't used to be the case, whereby the entry level Toyota would be the same price as the Across.
@@TotallyEV Thanks for replying. I note that on a Renault page, when referring to Phevs, they say “You can definitely drive your plug-in hybrid without a charged battery. Although it is designed as a combustion-assisted electric vehicle, the battery always has some energy stored away thanks to its self-charging technology.”.I have always assumed this is the case. So when driving a typical PHEV with battery ‘dead’ (ie at v low capacity) some charge is being fed back into the battery from the engine. Is this wrong?
Suzuki reliability! Rarely are the number of units taken into account with regards to reliability. Look at the number of vauxhall astras back in the day compared to the Suzuki swift. Always given bias.
Suzuki should also make fully electric cars, im sure they could themselves ...they make great motorcycle engines, electric cars work much more simpler!! 🐱👍🏿
That's the thing, both Toyota and Suzuki are behind the curb on this, so they're helping eachother out - wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more collaborations but in fully electric vehicles!
I drive a RAV4 Hybrid & it's a great car. Can't understand why anyone would buy this rebadged Toyota & suffer the higher depreciation? This is a Toyota & not a Suzuki!
Dude, the price of the ACross is the SAME as the RAV 4 300+bhp, PLUG-IN HYBRID! THE SAAAAAAAAAAAME! Can you tell me you'd RATHER get the Suzuki instead?! WTF?!

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Outlander PHEV would solve those regeneration issues for you.
Nice review. Planning to get this next year or rav4 phev
Thank you, glad you liked the review! Let us know which model you go for and why :)

Depends on the market. Plugin rav4 was not available when Across was on the market, in the showrooms already.
My Rav 4 PHEV has heated steering wheel........
I was a bit thrown by your opening section on Phevs. They all ‘self-charge’, don’t they?
They don't - however, most if not all have regenerative braking, which of course isn't quite like self-charging!

Only in some cases, most don't do that unfortunately. Which Renault are you looking at out of interest?
Suzuki reliability! Rarely are the number of units taken into account with regards to reliability. Look at the number of vauxhall astras back in the day compared to the Suzuki swift.

True
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I still prefer the Toyota RAV4
Glad you liked the review!
Just out of curiousity, are you the same person who is liking all our LinkedIn in posts? :)
Suzuki should also make fully electric cars, im sure they could themselves ...they make great motorcycle engines, electric cars work much more simpler!! 🐱👍🏿

They do. With Toyota.
toyota do with Subaru @@TotallyEV
Isn't it simply a rebranded Toyota RAV4 Plugin, down to Toyota infotainment and connected services?
even the engine is Toyota??
@@fidelcatsro6948 If I am not mistaken, it is. It's their standard 2,5l you can find in RAV and Camry.
@@japkoslav i see
Presume you watched the video? :)
@@TotallyEV Sadly just a small part yesterday, I plan to watch it in full length today.
I am pretty sure a lot of my point will be mentioned there 😇
This isn't a Suzuki, it's made on the same production line as the rav4. Great car though.
As pointed out in the review!
I drive a RAV4 Hybrid & it's a great car.
Can't understand why anyone would buy this rebadged Toyota & suffer the higher depreciation?
This is a Toyota & not a Suzuki!
What MPG are you getting?
It is a RAV 4 licenced to Suzuki, with a lower charge rate. Nothing to see here surely ?
almost £50000? damn
no pulleys... its an Ecvt
How can be better than Toyota!!!!(is just a Toyota RAV4)😮😮😮
As it has more features!
Still a Toyota RAV4 🙂🙂🙂😎
Dude, the price of the ACross is the SAME as the RAV 4 300+bhp, PLUG-IN HYBRID!
THE SAAAAAAAAAAAME!
Can you tell me you'd RATHER get the Suzuki instead?! WTF?!
Prices change all the time. Calm yourself down.
Man that look nothing like a hybrid lol
In what way?
99% Toyota.
1% better then 😎
@@TotallyEV yes the Suzuki emblems are better
Wel i hope you realize what you saying (is a Toyota my friend)su su susuki do they make cars,?😂😂😂😂😂
This is Totally not EV.
Actually, you'll find it is - an EV encompasses all electrified vehicles (be it part of fully electric) :)
