2006 Suzuki Verona: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Suzuki's largest car trims its model offerings and gets additional standard equipment for 2006. Verona drops its S, LX, and EX trim levels and now comes in base and Luxury versions. Both have a 2.5-liter inline 6-cyl engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes front side airbags, and--new for '06--antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Also standard are power windows/locks/heated mirrors, keyless entry, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, height-adjustable driver seat, CD/cassette stereo with steering-wheel controls, and split folding rear seat. The Luxury adds 16-inch alloy wheels to replace 15-inch steel wheels, plus automatic climate control, sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and power driver seat; optional is a traction-control system.
