• Suzuki has added a longwheelbase 1.3-litre model to its SJ multi-purpose four-wheeldrive range. The Santana SJ413 LW13 is 570mm longer than the SJ413, and Suzuki GB Cars sales manager Andrew Pallister says its main advantage over the short-wheelbase version is increased luggage capacity — up to 1.7m3 with the rear seats folded.
It will not be available as a utility or pickup, and there are no immediate plans for a "blind" version.
"It is aimed mainly at our own Si customers who are maturing and want something more practical," says Pallister, "but we do expect some spinoff against Japanese competition." The long-wheelbase Santana will be available next year and will be priced between the SJ410 and the Vitara.
