2015 Suzuki Solio Review
Did you know that the Suzuki Solio used to be known as the Suzuki Wagon R Solio? Then it abandoned the “Wagon R” moniker to become a standalone model. That’s why the 2015 Suzuki Solio has a striking resemblance to the Wagon R. It’s, however, been in production since 1999 and has established itself as a good choice for a daily urban commute or Uber car.
In this review, we’re going to look at why it makes a good city-drive car and what you should consider when buying a Suzuki Solio in Nairobi.

2015 Suzuki Solio Design and Comfort
Most people mistake the Suzuki Solio for a pretty basic car from afar. This is what they mean when they say looks can be deceiving. The interior, besides being spacious for a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), also has a relatively modern design to give the car an attractive vibe about it.
It can comfortably seat up to five passengers. The roominess in the back seats is even more abundant – two adults could stretch their arms without hitting out at the driver. It has ample space for cargo too. If you want more cargo space during your monthly shopping trips, you can simply fold the back seats.
But you’re likely to end up with cramped legs if you try to do a long-distance trip in the Suzuki Solio, so we wouldn’t recommend this for an upcountry drive.
2015 Suzuki Solio Ride Handling and Quality
Of course, you can’t drive the Suzuki Solio like an Evo. It’s not the car you buy for a Tokyo Drift. This is not to say that it will topple at the first fast corner it encounters. The car actually holds pretty well and has good handling on the road. It has a light steering wheel and can easily do U-turns and three-point turns.
One thing you’ll love about the Suzuki Solio is the car’s maneuverability in this jam-packed city of big buildings and small streets. Tight spots are where the Solio thrives best.
What Does It Cost to Run a 2015 Suzuki Solio?
Many people who buy the Suzuki Solio buy it for its fuel efficiency. It’s an affordable car to buy and run as well. Let the small fuel tank not mislead you, the car offers a very impressive range and you won’t have to pass by a Rubis every 500 meters.
Additionally, the Solio is an inexpensive car to maintain and is ideal for people on a tight budget. Service parts are available and well-priced in Nairobi and across Kenya.
When you consider the initial buying price plus running and maintenance costs, this is one of the cheapest cars in the market.
