  • Suzuki has launched the Spacia Gear crossover variant with a new "NOCT" exterior kit from modifier DAMD, aiming to compete with Mitsubishi's Delica Mini.
  • The NOCT kit features a retro design with a black honeycomb grille, matte silver accents, and round LED headlights, offering a distinct vintage look.
  • Optional accessories include 15-inch Cantabile wheels and a wooden roof rack made from New Zealand pine, enhancing the outdoor aesthetic.

Suzuki is entering the burgeoning outdoor micro-van segment with its Spacia Gear crossover, now enhanced by a retro-inspired "NOCT" exterior kit from renowned Japanese customizer DAMD. This move positions the Spacia Gear to directly challenge the popular Mitsubishi Delica Mini, which has sparked a trend in Japan for rugged, outdoorsy compact vehicles.

The DAMD NOCT kit eschews the Spacia Gear's original styling for a distinctly vintage aesthetic. Key changes include the replacement of the standard grille with a sophisticated black honeycomb design, accented by matte silver trim. Complementing this are redesigned round LED headlight surrounds and a new front bumper garnish, all finished in matte silver to create a charmingly retro front fascia.

To further amplify the Spacia Gear's outdoor appeal, DAMD offers several optional accessories. These include 15-inch "Cantabile" wheels with a classic design and a unique wooden roof rack crafted from premium New Zealand pine. The wood is expected to develop a unique patina over time, adding to the vehicle's character and complementing the retro theme.

The Spacia Gear retains its original powertrain options: a 0.66-liter three-cylinder engine available in naturally aspirated or turbocharged variants. Both options feature mild-hybrid technology, contributing to an impressive fuel efficiency of 25.1 km/L. Buyers can choose between front-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations.
