Suzuki is diving head-first into the supermini-MPV sector with this model, the Splash. And following on from our spyshots in Issue 926, Auto Express can bring you the first official picture of the newcomer, which is set to replace the Wagon R late next year.

Getting its public debut at the Paris Motor Show, the Splash is sure to make waves with its striking lines. At the front, a big grille and large headlamps complete with bright orange indicators give a bold look. Meanwhile, neat details such as the silver A-pillars and roof, kinked-up C-pillars and bulging wheelarches help provide a sporty appearance.

With a tall stance and a platform shared with the Swift, there should be generous space inside for five, while the cabin design is said to mirror the exterior. An all-new 1.2-litre petrol engine should provide decent performance. When sales start in 2007, a price tag in the region of £9,000 is expected.
Another report claims that the new Splash will use a Hayabusa-based motor, which would be complete unadulterated awesomness. :D Lets hope it makes it to Australia!

A little too hairdresser-ish for my liking. Some OK details though.
Would love to see how it goes though. :)

what a let down.
when the page first loaded, the first image didn't show up, and i only saw the last 2. I though "hey this looks ok", got curious, got the first pick showing and nearly threw up.

(i don't like it incase you didn't notice)

Would be fun to drive with a 'busa motor though! (even if you look like a yuppi/hairdresser)

Of course it looks a bit "out there" - it is only a concept at the moment.

You have to see the potential though, I mean Suzuki have produced "faggy" looking concept cars that would look great with a bit of work:

I'd drive it if it had a hyabusa engine.
I'm sure it'll look much more toned down before they release it.
