Suzuki sets new sales record in October
Suzuki Auto South Africa (Suzuki SA) has set a new overall monthly sales record, breaking through the 7 000-unit barrier for the first time.
The Japanese importer moved 7 292 passenger and light commercial vehicles in October, surpassing its previous record of 6 890 units, achieved in October last year, by 402 vehicles.
Dealer sales accounted for 5 058 vehicles, while government, rental and fleet customers contributed 2 234 units.
This result means Suzuki maintains its standing as South Africa's second-best-selling vehicle manufacturer in a year that has seen continued overall growth in new-vehicle sales.
Toyota remains the South African market sales leader by a significand margin. Volkswagen is in second place, Ford in fourth, with Hyundai rounding off the top five.
Of the 15 models in Suzuki's line-up, the Swift led October sales with 2 344 units.
This was followed by the Ertiga multipurpose vehicle (1 234 units), the Fronx (1 118 units), Baleno (556 units) and Dzire (543 units).
“Breaking the 7 000-unit barrier for the first time is a significant milestone for Suzuki Auto South Africa, and one that reflects the continued support of our customers and the hard work of our dealer network,” says Suzuki SA sales and dealer development senior manager Cristine Knight.
“It reflects the strength of our model line-up, the trust South African motorists place in the Suzuki brand and the commitment of our dealer partners to delivering a positive ownership experience.
“Our focus remains on offering South African motorists vehicles that deliver on reliability, quality and value, while continuing to strengthen our presence in the local market.”
