Suzuki Auto South Africa broke virtually every single sales record in one month.
This makes it the third best-selling vehicle manufacturer in January, just behind Toyota and Volkswagen.
This is on par with the highest rank ever achieved by Suzuki and the highest overall sales – 3 232 vehicles! The dealer network sold 2 551 of these units, its highest sales figure ever.
“A couple of new dealers joined the Suzuki family recently. This grew our network to 78 dealers,” said Henno Havenga, auto dealer sales manager of Suzuki Auto South Africa.
“And what a fitting welcome to our new dealers to see their peers outperform all previous sales records! In fact, our top five dealers sold a combined 530 new Suzuki models in January and 20 dealers, from Klerksdorp to Gqeberha, each sold more than 50 units in the month.”
The top five dealers were Bassonia (161 units, a new all-time dealer record), Northcliff (104 units), Menlyn (93 units), Bryanston (89 units) and Bramley (83 units).
In January, this division sold 681 vehicles to corporate, fleet and governmental customers.
“Today we also celebrate a new milestone for our much-loved Suzuki Swift and Swift Sport. In January, it became the first Suzuki model range to sell more than 1 000 units in a single month,” said Havenga.
The record sales in January set a firm foundation for Suzuki Auto, its dealer network, and its customers for the rest of 2022.
“We have been working hard with our head office in Japan to increase our order volumes and sourcing destinations, to widen our product offering and contain price increases. This is already evident in our range today, but will become even more clear as we introduce a host of product upgrades and new models in the coming months,” said Havenga.
