Suzuki 4×4 Day Event with CMH Suzuki Pinetown

By

On the 10th of April our 4X4 extraordinaire joined a handful of our 4X4 Suzuki family members for the day. Our 4X4 adventure started bright and early at 8am, where we all gathered at our CMH Suzuki Dealership for coffee and muffins to start our day off right. We then headed out in convoy with full tummies and lot’s of energy for the adventure ahead to the Mariannhill toll plaza.

Our 4X4 family set off in there Grand Vitara’s and Jimny’s, and made their way through to the secret waterfall in Shongweni, it wasn’t easy but an hour in and the secret waterfall was no longer a secret! We then cruised off in convoy to our next adventure to the sugar cane farms. A lot of obstacles such as ditches rocks and mud where in our way but our 4X4’s proved who where tougher in the end. The day was filled with many laughs, a lot of 4X4 demonstrations and some thorough explaining but eventually after some fun 4X4 antics we settled at Giba Gorge!

A wonderful and muddy day took place, we are lucky enough to have such a big family of 4X4 enthusiast, who loves their vehicles and love learning what they can do all through a little adventure and we would like to thank all those who attended and made the day such a fun adventure.

The next best car to a new Suzuki is a pre-owned Suzuki…here’s why!

Automotive research specialists, JD Powers, recently found Suzuki to be one of the best quality mass-market brands in the UK, when measured by the number of problems that customers have experienced during the first three years of ownership.
The tests show Suzuki quality, after three years of use, was rated at 30% better than the industry average. This, when combined with high levels of sales and service satisfaction, makes Suzuki one of the most rewarding brands to own.

The JD Power Vehicle Dependability study is considered one of the most comprehensive quality studies of its kind. Apart from asking owners for a general assessment of the quality of the vehicle, it studies 177 specific areas in each vehicle.

These include engine and transmission, driving experience, paint, panel fit and finish, seats, heating and ventilation, in-car entertainment and the general quality of the interior after three years of use.
The UK JD Power report mirrors Suzuki’s internal customer satisfaction ratings in South Africa.

Since its official local launch in 2008, Suzuki has seen its customer satisfaction ratings track positive to its growth in market share, with a high point recorded in 2014, when it was officially recognised as the second-fastest growing brand in the country.

Suzuki in South Africa

Over the past two years, Suzuki has also increased its dealer footprint in South Africa by doubling its dealer network from 23 in 2014 to 47 dealers by the end of 2016, including new dealerships in Lesotho and Swaziland.
“Each one of our passenger models and SUVs has a loyal following, but in the lead is the Suzuki Swift, our most popular passenger vehicle in South Africa,” says André Venter, divisional manager for sales and marketing at Suzuki Auto South Africa. “The Swift is a best seller with combined sales of over five million units across the globe.”
The Swift has amassed over 60 awards in recent years, including quality awards across Europe and consumer choice accolades in Europe, Asia and South Africa.

In South Africa, the Swift was named in several large consumer choice and magazine awards, alongside the Celerio, Vitara, Ciaz and Ertiga.

2016 Suzuki Baleno Gets Ready for Geneva

By

Geneva Suzuki Auto will give visitors to the Geneva International Motor Show a glimpse of its future when it introduces the new European-bound Suzuki Baleno on 1 March.

The production version of the new Suzuki Baleno is hailed as the most advanced hatchback yet for the compact car specialist and it will introduce a new platform and creature comforts. The South African introduction is slated for the second half of this year. The Baleno will be the first new Suzuki model to feature the company’s lightweight new generation platform. The platform was created as the foundation for several new models and offers greater rigidity, which will benefit the Baleno’s ride and handling performance, and a lower kerb weight, which scores positively for fuel consumption and power-to-weight ratio.

The platform draws on Suzuki’s compact vehicle expertise and is said to offer Csegment space in a B-segment market, with an overall length of under 4 000 mm. The increased space will benefit the driver and passengers, and the boot space is best in its class. With the Baleno, Suzuki Auto continues its rapid pace of new vehicle introductions, which has seen it launch new models such as the Vitara, Celerio, Ertiga, SX4 and Ciaz in rapid succession. These new models are partly responsible for the popularity of this Japanese brand, which this year celebrated the sale of the 50 millionth Suzuki globally and the overall sale of 40 000 Suzuki vehicles in South Africa since 2008. Apart from being the first vehicle to use Suzuki’s new-generation platform, it also introduces the world to its Liquid Flow design language. The new design language gives the Baleno an air of sophistication, while being one of the most aerodynamic models ever built by the company.
