Suzuki Auto South Africa today applauded the hard work of its team and dealer network after it set yet another overall sales record in April.
The company reported 3 696 new vehicle deliveries to
South African customers and a further five sales to regional customers for a total of 3 701 sales in the short month of April. This is the highest ever monthly total for
Suzuki and the fourth consecutive month that it has broken its overall sales record.
Naamsa – the industry business council – further reports that the
Suzuki Swift was
South Africa’s best-selling passenger vehicle in April.
Suzuki dealers and its corporate and rental sales team sold a combined 1 621
Swift units, nearly 100 units more than any other brand and model.
With the stellar month completed,
Suzuki is now firmly entrenched in the number three position in overall sales, behind Toyota (including brands
Lexus and
Hino) and Volkswagen (including sales of
Audi).
“In March, we welcomed the all-new
Celerio, one of
South Africa’s most affordable and fuel-efficient cars. It further strengthened our line-up of vehicles that are all designed and specified to offer the best specifications and performance for your hard-earned money, with
Suzuki’s proven Japanese quality and durability,” says Henno Havenga, manager for auto dealer sales at
Suzuki Auto South Africa.
“We have been able to secure a strong flow of new vehicle shipments from abroad and trust that we will be able to shorten our waiting lists and welcome more customers into the fold. This applies to both the
Celerio, of which we had limited stock in our launch month, and our other popular models, such as the
Swift, Jimny, Vitara Brezza and Baleno.”
Havenga says that all Suzuki’s sales channels performed exceedingly well in April. The dealer network sold 2 855 units; a few units shy of last month’s record of 2 933 units. Suzuki’s fleet and rental division, in turn sold, 839 units, with many orders from large fleet customers in the pipeline.
“There are many more exciting things ahead for
Suzuki. We have started delivering the new
Suzuki Jimny in
GL specification to excited customers and will soon launch the all-new
Baleno, which we introduced to the world in February,” says Havenga.
“There are several other
Suzuki surprises in the wings, and we cannot wait to share them with our dealer network and our
South African Suzuki family.”
