Suzuki Motor Corporation
The Suzuki Splash is one of 68 Suzuki Motor Corporation models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2008. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Suzuki Splash properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Roadster, the Nissan Nissan 370Z, the Hyundai Hyundai i30 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Suzuki Splash reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol; / 1.0 L Suzuki K engine#K10B / K10B Straight-three engine / I3 / 1.2 L Suzuki K engine##K12M / K12M Straight-four engine / I4 (India/Indonesia) / 1.2 L; kerb weight is recorded at 975-1050 kg; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / Continuously variable transmission / CVT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Suzuki Motor Corporation's own catalogue the Suzuki Splash sits alongside the Fuji Cabin, the Geo Metro, the Suzuki A-Star Concept (2005), the Suzuki APV. The record names the Suzuki Wagon R+ (Europe) as its predecessor and the Suzuki Ignis / Suzuki Solio (Japan) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Takashi Miyazawa. Assembly is recorded at Hungary: Esztergom (Magyar Suzuki) / India: Manesar (Maruti Suzuki) / China: Jingdezhen (Changhe Suzuki).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Suzuki Splash costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
