In welcome news, Suzuki Auto South Africa has announced that it has placed a general freeze on all vehicle prices and that the company will not participate in the customary fourth quarter industry price hikes, which started earlier this month.

“Whether one looks at the Consumer Confidence Index or at general economic growth, it is clear that consumers are feeling the pinch. With that in mind, we decided to squeeze as much value into our price and warranty offering as possible,” says André Venter, divisional head for sales and marketing at Suzuki.

The announcement follows another recent announcement, that Suzuki will include a full five year or 200 000 km warranty on every passenger vehicle sold until the end of December 2017. Suzuki says that ‘this doubles the distance and adds two years’ to the average duration of Suzuki’s mechanical warranty.
