Suzuki launches new DF325A outboard

SUZUKI Motor Corporation is proud to introduce the new DF325A four-stroke outboard – a product that perfectly balances superior power and thrust, all within a lightweight and stylish design.

Unveiled at the Düsseldorf International Boat Show in Germany, the high-tech and innovative DF325A has been designed to be robust, easy to use and versatile, making it the ideal outboard for large boats, whatever the task and whether for commercial or recreational use. Sharing the same revolutionary technologies as the recently launched and highly anticipated flagship DF350A, including contra-rotating propellers, dual-louvre system and dual injectors, Suzuki has stepped it up with the new model by engineering it to run on 91 RON fuel – a world first and game changer for high-performance outboards over 300hp.

Suzuki executive general manager of Global Marine and Power Products Operation Osawa Yasuharu said the DF325A is a welcome addition to Suzuki’s range of ultimate four-stroke outboards. “The latest high-spec, high-output outboards all require high-octane fuel,” he said. “As far as we know, there is no other outboard over 300hp that runs on 91 RON, which is regular fuel in some key markets. This also makes the DF325A a very attractive outboard for the commercial sector because it is packed with the very latest outboard technologies, which will deliver the ultimate boating experience.”

Suzuki’s latest outboard features its proven 4.4-litre displacement block, which gives tremendous torque and makes it the largest-displacement V6 on the market today. Combined with a compression ratio of 10.5:1, the DF325A also delivers impressive fuel economy and reliability. The DF325A will be produced at the Toyokawa Plant in Japan, with first deliveries expected in March.
