Suzuki has unveiled a web site previewing its next supermini which will have a remarkably economical petrol engine when it is released in late 2007 with a price around UKP8,500. The Splash design study will be shown at the Paris Motor Show and will form the basis of the petrol-engined production car which has reportedly achieved a combined cycle figure of 78mpg according to Suzuki engineers. The motor is an all-new 1200cc 16-valve DOHC four cylinder with variable valve timing.

75 mpg that would be 31.9 km/liter

Depends... I think if that's in imperial gallons, it'll actually be 27+ km/l.

It's probably imperial gallons, though... since they're premiering it in Europe... Imperial gallons are slightly bigger than US gallons.

Still, 27 km/l is amazing... wonder if they can keep the low price if they bring it here? At a possible 700,000 Php maybe? (UK taxes are even wosre than ours for small cars...)
