Suzuki SX4 Starts An Avalanche
Exactly four years and three months later, the company sold its 20 000th vehicle on South African soil. "The wide market acceptance of our local model line-up has strengthened the commitment of Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) to the SA market," says Yamashita Kazuyuki, managing director of Suzuki Auto SA.
The debut of the Swift and the SX4 in June 2008 not only marked the first public activity of Suzuki Auto SA, but also heralded a significant commitment by SMC to the SA passenger car market. At the time, the initial investment was valued at R106-million.
The achievement is all the more remarkable because it was attained against the backdrop of the most competitive period in the history of the local motor industry, with in excess of 2 000 model derivatives vying for the attention of a demanding and value-conscious vehicle-buying public.
