2018 Suzuki Solio Bandit

The 2018 Suzuki Solio Bandit (MA36S / MA46S Generation) is a stylish, high-roof mini-MPV designed for maximum urban space efficiency and maneuverability. As the aggressive, sport-styled variant of the standard Suzuki Solio, the Bandit features a bold dual-tier front grille, sharp LED headlamps with distinct LED daytime running light signatures, dual power-sliding rear doors with low step-in heights, dynamic side skirts, and a roof spoiler. Following its mid-2018 facelift update, the Solio Bandit incorporates refined interior accents, upgraded safety tech, and two distinct hybrid options: the Hybrid MV mild-hybrid and the Hybrid SV full-hybrid. Under the bonnet, both variants utilize Suzuki's efficient 1.2-liter K12C Dualjet 4-cylinder petrol engine ($91\text{ PS} / 118\text{ Nm}$). The Hybrid MV pairs this engine with an ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) mild-hybrid system and a CVT transmission, available in Front-Wheel Drive (2WD) or All-Wheel Drive (4WD). The Hybrid SV variant adds a higher-voltage Motor Generator Unit (MGU) capable of brief EV-only cruising, paired with a 5-speed Auto Gear Shift (AGS) automated manual transmission in 2WD. Inside, the cabin offers class-leading vertical headroom and walk-through cabin flexibility. Features include a center-mounted digital instrument panel, a touchscreen infotainment system, climate control, flexible sliding/reclining 50/50 split rear seats, under-seat storage trays, and standard Suzuki Safety Support with dual camera brake support.
