Parts for your 2025 Suzuki Splash-Gas struts

2025 Suzuki Splash gas struts — are they actually a thing?

After checking credible technical sources, there isn’t a 2025 Suzuki Splash. The Splash nameplate was produced from 2008 to around 2014 in Europe, and sold in India as the Maruti Suzuki Ritz until 2016. Suzuki’s global line‑ups for recent years don’t include a Splash, so a “2025 Suzuki Splash” doesn’t exist as an official model year.

Because the vehicle itself isn’t in production, “2025‑Suzuki‑Splash gas‑struts” isn’t applicable. Any catalogue or marketplace entry that mentions gas struts for a 2025 Splash is almost certainly a database carry‑over, a generic year-range placeholder, or a mislabel tied to the earlier 2008–2014 Splash/Ritz fitment. There are no factory specifications or service procedures for gas struts on a 2025 Splash simply because that vehicle isn’t built.

For owners of the genuine Splash (2008–2014) or Ritz (2009–2016), the tailgate is supported by a pair of gas lift struts from factory. The bonnet is held up by a manual prop rod (i.e., no OEM bonnet gas struts). If someone sees a 2025 listing, it’s best to select parts using the vehicle’s actual build year and VIN, or by OE part number from the Suzuki EPC.

If a real Splash tailgate is slow to rise, drops in cooler weather, or leaves marks from leaking oil at the shaft seal, those are common signs the original struts are tired. Replacement is typically done in pairs to keep lift and balance even. Match the new struts to the OE part number or verify length, stroke, end fittings and force rating on the old unit’s label, and take care supporting the hatch during the swap.

• Technical sources referenced: Suzuki Motor Corporation global model catalogues and press communications noting Splash discontinuation after MY2014 (Europe).
• Suzuki EPC/parts catalogues showing Splash/Ritz production years and applicable tailgate strut fitments only to those ranges.
• European type‑approval/sales records reflecting Splash exit by 2014–2015, and Maruti Suzuki communications confirming Ritz discontinuation in 2016.
• Major aftermarket data services (e.g., TecDoc, Autodata) listing Splash gas struts only up to the final production years.

Popular questions

Does the 2025 Suzuki Splash have bonnet or tailgate gas struts?
No. There isn’t a 2025 Suzuki Splash model. The original Splash (2008–2014) did use gas struts on the tailgate, but had a manual prop rod for the bonnet. If a listing claims “2025 Splash” struts, it’s likely referencing those earlier model years.

Why do some parts sites show gas struts for a 2025 Splash?
That’s usually catalogue noise—generic year ranges, automated data rollovers, or regional naming confusion with the Maruti Suzuki Ritz. Always verify by VIN, build date, or OE part number from the Suzuki EPC before ordering.

What should someone order if they actually own a Splash tailgate that’s dropping?
Order to the real build year (typically 2008–2014 for Splash, 2009–2016 for Ritz) and match the OE part number. Replace both struts together, and confirm length, stroke, end fittings and force rating. If unsure, a VIN‑based lookup with a Suzuki dealer or a reputable parts supplier is the safest bet.
