Certainly from the language Suzuki have been using, it seems safe to say the new model builds on the previous one, rather than being 'all-new.'
So far, we know the chassis incorporates a new x-member plus two new cross-members for increased torsional rigidity, the eight body mounts have been redesigned, the front stabiliser bar is thicker, the front axle housing is made from 'more robust' high tensile steel, and the rear axle is of a larger diameter with 30% higher 'flexural strength.'

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Seems like they are fixing a chassis problem we never had, what are those rust-trap boxes on the side rails for?
