Suzuki breaches 6 000 new-vehicle sales mark for the first time
Suzuki Auto South Africa (Suzuki SA) set a new sales record in October, when it breached the 6 000-unit-a-month mark for the first time.
The local arm of the Japanese budget brand recorded sales of 6 006 new Suzuki vehicles, which places it third in total new-vehicle sales by manufacturer, with Toyota and Volkswagen still leading the pack.
Suzuki had ample support from the new-generation Swift, which sold 1 179 units.
This vehicle boasts the manufacturer’s new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which it says offers a combined fuel consumption of 4.4 l/100 km.
The Suzuki Fronx demonstrated a similarly robust performance, with 1 109 units finding new homes over the course of October.
“Given the challenges of the current economic climate, breaking the 6 000-unit barrier is a hard-fought milestone that everyone in our South African unit can be immensely proud of achieving,” says Suzuki SA sales and marketing GM Henno Havenga.
“I believe this record is also testament to the products we’re putting out: quality vehicles offering strong performance, low running costs and excellent value for money.”
“At Suzuki Auto South Africa, we are thrilled to see sustained growth in our sales performance – especially when rising living costs have so many consumers tightening their belts,” adds Havenga.
“This encouraging result is an excellent way to begin the fourth quarter, and we are confident the launch of the fourth-generation Swift will continue to help drive sales right the way through it.”
