In this paper we present new examples of $(2n+1)$-dimensional compact cosymplectic manifolds which are not topologically equivalent to the canonical examples, i.e., to the product of the $(2m+1)$-dimensional real torus and the $r$-dimensional complex projective space, with $m,r\ge 0$ and $m+r=n.$ These new examples are compact solvmanifolds and they are constructed as suspensions with fibre the $2n$-dimensional real torus. In the particular case $n=1,$ using the examples obtained, we conclude that a $3$-dimensional compact flat orientable...
