The Suzuki Access has been in the market since 2007. The company also launched few special editions of the scooter, such as the Access Limited Edition as well as the Being Human edition. Now, the Japanese bike maker has launched the Access facelift in India, priced at Rs. 53,223/- (on-road, Delhi). The facelift is a very minor cosmetic update and does not carry any significant changes on the product.

The Access facelift is available in a choice of five colours – Glass Sparkle Black, Metallic Sonic Silver, Candy Antares Red, Pearl Mirage White and Metallic Matte Fibroin Grey. Apart from this, the scooter gets no changes whatsoever. SEP technology was expected but hasn’t been given to the Access yet.
