Suzuki will have shaken up most of its range in just 5 years
Suzuki, a specialist in small cars and the world's tenth biggest manufacturer, producing 2.9 million vehicles in 2015, will have overhauled its range in just 5 years:
- The S-Cross replaced the SX4 in 2013, the Celerio replaced the Alto in 2014, the Vitara replaced the Grand Vitara in 2015, the hybrid Baleno came out at the start of 2016 to accompany the Swift, the Ignis will go on sale at the end of 2016 to replace the Splash (Wagon R) and the Swift will be replaced in 2017. These are Suzuki's six most produced models, with almost 1.5 million coming off the production line in 2015, making up half of Suzuki's global production.
- It is the first time that the Japanese manufacturer has launched so many models (excluding midgets) in so little time. Suzuki explains that the large number of new models launched since 2013 is due to the conclusion of agreements with Volkswagen which had involved a specific study and then the postponement of new models for the period 2010-2013. Suzuki is therefore engaging in a catch up by launching several of its own new models between 2013 and 2017.
- Suzuki covers segments A and B with its new models, using SUV and sedan bodywork, in which it is a global specialist. It hopes to exceed 3 millions sales in 2016.
