About the Suzuki Spacia Custom
The Suzuki Spacia Custom is a tall-roof kei car minivan with aggressive styling, designed specifically for the Japanese domestic market. It suits buyers looking for a compact, urban passenger transport vehicle that offers practicality in a smaller footprint. In Australia, these cars are popular for city driving and short trips, where their size makes parking and manoeuvring easier than in a standard minivan.
As of November 2026, the current SEVS approval covers all variants (MK54S, MK94S) built from November 2023 onwards. There is no end date to this approval. Because the vehicle is relatively new, eligibility relies entirely on this specific SEVS approval. We confirm the exact car's SEVS eligibility before you bid to ensure it meets the current compliance requirements.
We can search the Japanese auctions for a Suzuki Spacia Custom for you and work out a landed estimate for the exact car before you bid. If you have a specific colour, condition, or budget in mind, let us know and we will look for examples that match your needs.
