Suzuki Access Arrives in the Philippines: Retro Style with Smart Commuting Features
04 October 2025 / Manila, Philippines – The much-anticipated Suzuki Access is now officially here. Unveiled during the “All Access” launch event at Market! Market! mall in BGC, the new scooter combines retro-inspired styling with modern technology designed for city-commuting.
A fresh retro look meets next-gen functionality
The Access takes cues from scooters of the past — think metal front fender, leg shield, clean silhouette — yet under the skin you’ll find features aimed squarely at the smart-commuter. Highlights include an external fuel filler cap, metal-finish fender and leg shield, LED lighting, and on the Ride Connect Edition model a TFT screen with smartphone pairing. You also get a quieter starter via a one-way clutch gear, supporting a smoother and more refined ride.
Specs that stand out
According to Suzuki Motorcycles Philippines:
- Engine: 4-stroke, single-cylinder, SOHC, 2-valve, air-cooled, fuel-injected, 124 cc.
- Output: up to ~8.3 hp and 10.2 Nm of torque (based on Philippine launch figures)
- Claimed fuel economy: approx. 57.3 km/l.
- Dimensions & weights: Ground clearance of 160 mm, curb weight of 106 kg.
- Tyres: Front 90/90-12, Rear 90/100-10, tubeless.
- Pricing in the Philippines: Standard version at P 84,900, Ride Connect Edition (with TFT) at P 93,900.
What it means for Filipino riders
For commuters in Metro Manila and beyond, the Suzuki Access offers a blend of convenience and style. Its retro looks will appeal to those wanting something different from the usual modern sport-scooter aesthetic. Meanwhile, features like smartphone connectivity, a quiet starter, and efficient engine make it relevant to daily ride demands. At 106 kg curb weight and a relatively low seat height (770 mm), it’s also poised to be accessible to a wide range of riders.
Our take at News Moto
From what we observed at the launch event, the Access presents a smart package for city riders who value both form and function. The TFT Ride Connect version is a standout — the integration of navigation and smartphone pairing raises the bar for what scooters in this segment can offer. For the standard version, the value proposition is strong given the features and the price point. That said, scooters in the PH market are highly competitive, so it will come down to how Suzuki support, dealer network and after-sales stack up.
Final word
If you’re in the market for a daily rider with personality, the Suzuki Access deserves serious consideration. Between retro heritage, modern features, and efficient performance, it hits a compelling sweet spot.
