Parts for your 2024 Suzuki Splash-Gas struts

2024 Suzuki Splash gas struts — are they a thing?

Short answer: no. Based on technical references (Suzuki Motor Corporation model-lineup archives from 2015–2024, European type-approval listings, Suzuki EPC/parts catalogues, and ANZ market data such as RedBook and Glass’s Guide), the Splash nameplate was discontinued years earlier and was not produced for the 2024 model year. Because there’s no 2024 Suzuki Splash, there aren’t factory-fit “2024 Splash” gas struts to talk about, source, or service.

Why this matters: if someone’s searching for 2024 Suzuki Splash gas struts, they’re almost certainly dealing with an earlier Splash (sold in many markets from around 2008 to 2014, also known as the Suzuki Ritz in some regions) or they may have a different 2024 Suzuki hatch. For those earlier Splash models, the tailgate is supported by a pair of gas-charged lift supports (gas struts). The bonnet typically uses a manual prop rod from factory, with aftermarket bonnet strut kits available in some markets.

• There is no verified 2024 Splash fitment in OEM or aftermarket catalogues.
• Earlier Splash/Ritz tailgates do use gas struts, bonnet struts are generally not OEM.
• If a vehicle is believed to be a “2024 Splash”, double-check the VIN, build plate, and model badge.

If the vehicle in question is an earlier Splash and the tailgate is dropping, slow to rise, or needs a helping hand—especially on cold mornings—the gas struts are likely tired. Replacement is straightforward for a competent home mechanic: support the tailgate safely, pop off the retaining clips, swap the struts one side at a time, and confirm smooth, even lift. Always match length, end fittings, and force rating to the OEM spec listed in the Suzuki EPC or a reputable parts guide. Avoid mixing old and new struts, and never work under an unsupported tailgate.

Not sure what you’ve got? A quick VIN check or a look-up in a trusted parts database will confirm the exact model and the correct struts to suit. That way, the right parts turn up first time, and the tailgate behaves as it should.

• Does a 2024 Suzuki Splash have gas struts? No — there’s no 2024 Splash in Suzuki’s model range. Earlier Splash (circa 2008–2014) hatchbacks do have gas struts on the tailgate.
• Which gas struts fit my Suzuki Splash? Use the VIN to match OEM part numbers in the Suzuki EPC or a recognised parts catalogue. You’ll need the correct length, end fittings (commonly ball-stud), and force rating for safe, consistent lift.
• Does the Splash bonnet have gas struts? From factory, most Splashes use a bonnet prop rod. Aftermarket bonnet strut kits may be available, fit only kits designed for the model and follow the instructions closely.
