Record Year For Suzuki

SYDNEY – January 6, 2011: Suzuki Australia has confirmed its position as one of the fastest growing automotive companies, recording its best ever sales year after another strong sales result in December.

A total of 1996 Suzukis were sold in the final month of 2010, just 10 units short of notching another record month for the company.

The strong December result meant Suzuki finished the year on 24,789 sales, easily eclipsing its best ever sales record.

It meant Suzuki finished the year up 22 per cent, against a market that rose 10.5 per cent over 2009.

Suzuki smashed numerous records in 2010, with best ever sales results in nine of the 12 months.

It continued the company’s meteoric rise, with sales more than doubling since 2004.

Importantly, Suzuki not only increased volume but also its market share, up to 2.4 per cent.

The company is looking forward to another strong year in 2011, with the launch next month of an all-new version of its top selling Swift light car range.

Every model in the new range will come standard with seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag, and class leading fuel economy of just 5.5 litres per 100 km.
