Suzuki Equator

Suzuki Equator (2008–2012): specs, engines, mpg, dimensions

The Suzuki Equator is a Pickup double-cab from Suzuki. In the data for this catalogue it has 1 generation, produced from 2008-01-01 to 2012-12-31. That generation lists 4 versions: 2.5 AT, 2.5 MT, 4.0 AT (265 hp, AWD), and 4.0 AT (265 hp, RWD). Both engines are Gasoline, with No boost, a Front, longitudinal layout, and Distributed injection (multi-point).

Curb weight, gross weight, wheel size, CO2, and eco class are not measured.

People looking up a Suzuki Equator truck, 2008–2012 Suzuki Equator specs, engine options, horsepower, mpg, or whether it is a good truck for work will find the numbers below version by version, named exactly as in the database.

Suzuki Equator generations

1 generation (2008–2012)

1 generation ran from 2008-01-01 to 2012-12-31. Body type: Pickup double-cab. Number of versions: 4. All four share the same production window. There is no second generation in this dataset.

The four versions are 2.5 AT (152 hp, RWD, Automatic), 2.5 MT (152 hp, RWD, Manual), 4.0 AT (265 hp, AWD, Automatic), and 4.0 AT (265 hp, RWD, Automatic). Chassis pattern is the same across the generation: Independent, spring front suspension, Dependent, leaf spring rear, Ventilated disc front brakes, Drum rear brakes, 218 mm clearance, 80 L tank.

Suzuki Equator specs and engine options

Both 2.5 versions use the same 2488 cm³ Gasoline engine: 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, Front, longitudinal, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 9.5, bore × stroke 89 × 100, fuel 92. Output is 152 hp (112 kW) at 5200 rpm and 232 Nm at 4400 rpm.

Both 4.0 AT versions use the same 3954 cm³ Gasoline engine: 6 cylinders, V-shaped, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, Front, longitudinal, Distributed injection (multi-point), bore × stroke 95.5 × 92, fuel 95. Compression ratio is not measured. Output is 265 hp (195 kW) at 5600 rpm and 381 Nm at 4000 rpm.

The two 4.0 AT rows have the same name and the same 265 hp; they are not the same truck. One is AWD; the other is RWD. Fuel use, 0–100, and top speed are measured only on the AWD 4.0 AT.

2.5 AT and 2.5 MT horsepower is the same 152. 4.0 AT horsepower is 265, which is 113 hp more than 152. Torque on 4.0 AT is 381 Nm versus 232 Nm on the 2.5 pair — 149 Nm more. Displacement is 3954 versus 2488, a difference of 1466 cm³.

Performance and mpg

2.5 AT: 0–100 11.5 s; top speed 170; city 12.4 / highway 9.8 / mixed 11.2.

2.5 MT: 0–100 not measured; top speed 170; city 12.4 / highway 10.2 / mixed 11.

4.0 AT (265 hp, AWD): 0–100 9 s; top speed 185; city 15.8 / highway 10.2 / mixed 13.

4.0 AT (265 hp, RWD): 0–100 not measured; top speed not measured; city not measured; highway not measured; mixed not measured.

On measured figures, 4.0 AT AWD reaches 100 in 9 s versus 11.5 s for 2.5 AT — 2.5 s quicker. Top speed is 185 versus 170, 15 higher. Mixed use is 13 versus 11.2 on 2.5 AT (1.8 more) and versus 11 on 2.5 MT (2 more). City use on 4.0 AT AWD is 15.8 versus 12.4 on both 2.5 versions (3.4 more). Highway on 2.5 AT is 9.8; 2.5 MT and 4.0 AT AWD both list 10.2 (0.4 more than 2.5 AT). Mixed on 2.5 MT is 11, 0.2 below 2.5 AT’s 11.2.

CO2 is not measured on all four versions. Eco class is not measured on all four versions.

Suzuki Equator dimensions and weight

Curb weight is not measured for 2.5 AT, 2.5 MT, 4.0 AT (AWD), and 4.0 AT (RWD). Gross weight is not measured for all four. Wheel size is not measured for all four.

What is measured and identical: ground clearance 218 mm; tank 80 L. Front suspension Independent, spring; rear Dependent, leaf spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Drum.

A 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2012 Suzuki Equator in this generation does not get a separate curb-weight figure in the data. Weight searches for those years still resolve to not measured.

Which Suzuki Equator version to choose

Choose by engine size, gearbox, and drive. The data has two 2.5 trucks and two 4.0 AT trucks.

2.5 AT is the measured Automatic RWD 2.5: 152 hp, 232 Nm, 2488 cm³, fuel 92, 0–100 11.5 s, top speed 170, mixed 11.2, highway 9.8. It is the only 2.5 with a measured 0–100, and it has the lowest measured highway figure of the three versions that list consumption.

2.5 MT is the same 152 hp 2488 cm³ engine with a Manual 5-speed and RWD. Top speed is the same 170. Mixed 11 is 0.2 below 2.5 AT; highway 10.2 is 0.4 above 2.5 AT. 0–100 is not measured. Fuel is still 92.

4.0 AT (265 hp, AWD) is the only AWD Equator in this set and the only 4.0 with a full performance and mpg set: 265 hp, 381 Nm, 3954 cm³, fuel 95, Automatic 5, 0–100 9 s, top speed 185, mixed 13, city 15.8. Versus 2.5 AT it adds 113 hp and 149 Nm, cuts 2.5 s off 0–100, and adds 15 to top speed, at 1.8 more mixed use.

4.0 AT (265 hp, RWD) keeps 265 hp, 381 Nm, 3954 cm³, Automatic 5, fuel 95, tank 80, clearance 218, but drive is RWD. 0–100, top speed, and all three consumption figures are not measured. It is the same engine and gearbox as the AWD 4.0 AT without a measured economy or speed sheet.

If the question is engine only: 2.5 is 152 hp Inline 4; 4.0 is 265 hp V-shaped 6. If the question is 4x4: only 4.0 AT (265 hp, AWD) is AWD; the other three are RWD. If the question is mpg: use 2.5 AT mixed 11.2 / highway 9.8, 2.5 MT mixed 11 / highway 10.2, 4.0 AT AWD mixed 13 / highway 10.2; do not invent mpg for 4.0 AT RWD. Price, “for sale near me,” and India price are not in this dataset.

Suzuki makes the Suzuki Equator in this catalogue. Reliability and used-truck problems are not in the numeric data; the measured facts stop at the table above.
