In Japan, the Suzuki Landy primarily competes with the Honda StepWGN, Nissan Serena and the Landy’s mechanical twins – the Toyota Noah and Voxy.
The Suzuki Landii, launched in 2007, has been a popular mid-size minivan in the Japanese market. For three generations, it shared its underpinnings with the Nissan Serena. With the fourth-gen model launching in 2022, Landry shifts to Toyota’s modular TNGA-C platform. In its current form, the Landii is essentially a rebadged version of the Toyota Noah. Following mid-cycle refreshes for the Noah and Voxy minivans earlier this year, a similar set of updates has now been introduced with the Landii.
2026 Suzuki Landry – What’s new?
The exterior profile of the updated Suzuki Landy closely resembles the higher-spec versions of the Toyota Noah. Key features include an extra large grille with horizontal slats, sleek top-mounted LED DRLs, sharp headlamps and a sporty lower lip spoiler. The side profile features U-shaped wheel arches, conventional door handles and sliding rear doors.
The black painted pillars ensure a prominent floating roof effect. The Landii has a box-like profile with a straight front fascia and a largely flat roofline. All the glass pieces are large enough to provide a panoramic view of the outside world. At the rear, key features include a distinctive design for the tail lamps, a flat rear windscreen, a roof-mounted spoiler, a flat tailgate and a modest bumper section. Suzuki is offering three color options with the updated Landii – Metal Stream Metallic, Platinum White Pearl Mica and Neutral Black.
In terms of functionality, one of the major updates for the Landi is the addition of a new 8-seater option. The earlier 7-seater variant will remain available. In the cockpit section, Suzuki has improved the overall comfort by adding soft padding to the dashboard. Another major update is the larger 7-inch instrument cluster.
While Landy follows Noah in most parts, the latter still maintains its premium status. It comes with features like a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the option of an 8-inch or 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. The seats are also slightly different for both minivans. The Landy misses a factory-fitted infotainment system. Users can install it as an accessory with the option of screen sizes ranging from 7-inch to 9-inch.
Pure petrol option closed
With the 2026 update, the Suzuki Landii is now offered only with a self-charging hybrid powertrain. It comprises a 1.8-litre petrol engine and an electric motor. The combined power output is around 138 PS. This powertrain has e-CVT transmission. Rated fuel efficiency is 23.2 km/l. While the Landii is primarily FWD, the E-Four variant has 4WD with dual electric motors. The e-four variants get a ‘Snow Extra’ mode for better performance in Japan’s winter conditions.
The Landii was also previously available with a 150 PS 2.0-litre petrol engine. This engine has now been discontinued, making the Landii the only hybrid minivan. The Toyota Noah and Voxi have also been shifted to hybrid-only models. This is presumably in line with emissions compliance targets and the need to boost fuel economy.
Price determination
The updated Suzuki Landy FWD is available at a starting price of JPY 3,845,600 (Rs 23 lakh). The AWD variant is priced at JPY 4,128,300 (Rs 24.71 lakh). Interestingly, the Toyota Noah is available at a more accessible price of JPY 3,261,500 (Rs 19.52 lakh). With the updated Landii, Suzuki is targeting sales of 1,200 units per year.
