Supply chain: Suzuki Spacia

The Suzuki Spacia is a super-high-roof kei car that underwent a full model change in November 2023. All models are equipped with a mild hybrid system.

The safety feature "Dual Sensor Brake Support" now utilizes a monocular camera and millimeter-wave radar manufactured by Denso.
While front seats are supplied by SNIC and the CVT shift lever by Hamana Parts Industry — both group companies — the vehicle also actively sources components from non-group suppliers, such as Denso for HVAC, Aisin for the power sliding door system, and Mitsubishi Electric Mobility for engine controls.
The fuel pump is supplied by TI Automotive, and the fuel tank by Plastic Omnium, demonstrating a broad adoption of components from both Japanese and overseas companies.
