Suzuki: 150,000 cars sold in 35 years
Congratulations. Suzuki celebrates 35 years in Switzerland in 2016. The Suzuki era began in 1981 with the import of the legendary Suzuki LJ 80. With the takeover by the Emil Frey Group in 2004, Suzuki really took off in Switzerland. Since 2004 alone, Suzuki has managed to more than double its sales in Switzerland. [...]
Since 2004 alone, Suzuki has succeeded in more than doubling its sales in Switzerland. A total of over 150,000 vehicles have been registered. In its anniversary year, Suzuki is offering the Sergio Cellano models with attractive customer benefits. Suzuki Switzerland boss Hanspeter Bachmann: "Every vehicle in the collection surprises with design details. The Sergio Cellano special models are available now exclusively from Suzuki dealers in Switzerland."
More power with the Suzuki Vitara Boosterjet
Once Hanspeter Bachmann and his team get going, things really start to crack. A first test drive by AutoSprintCH with the new Suzuki Vitara Boosterjet - the model can be recognized by the red decorative stitching in the interior and the black sporty 17-inch aluminum wheels - clearly shows where the journey is headed: Suzuki wants to offer driving fun at a tolerable budget.
This means that the Vitara with enough space for five people is available with a manual 6-speed transmission, 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and 140 hp at the launch from 30,490 Swiss francs. What's more, the car offers plenty of driving pleasure on winding country roads and on the highway. The seats support perfectly and it is amazing how quiet this car is to drive. The new Suzuki Baleno will be available from spring 2016 with a high-torque 1.0-liter Boosterjet turbo engine with direct injection in addition to the hybrid version. The top version will be offered from 20,490 Swiss francs at launch.
Suzuki Grand Prix goes into the next round
Hanspeter Bachmann: "The Ignis 4×4 will be our next surprise at the Geneva Motor Show. The car does not simply stand for a new, innovative compact model, but the all-wheel-drive vehicle will establish a completely new vehicle segment and inspire with typical features such as the elevated seating position." Good news also for motorsport enthusiasts: in addition to activities in beach soccer, tennis, golf and field hockey, the Suzuki Grand Prix is also returning to the local slalom championship.
