Alto Leads Record Sales for Suzuki

LAVERTON, AUSTRALIA – Aug 4, 2010: Record sales for Suzuki’s economy busting Alto sub-light car have the company on track for another record year.

A total of 569 Altos –Australia’s least expensive car to own and operate according to the industry leading NRMA annual costs survey – represented the best ever sales figure for the car.

It helped Suzuki to 2004 sales for the month – its best ever July result on record.

Year to date sales for Suzuki total 14,331, an increase of 27 per cent over last year and easily exceeds the industry average of 15.6 per cent.

The year to date figure is also four per cent higher than the company’s record 2008 figure.

“Suzuki has reconfirmed its position as one of the fastest growing brands in the country and the record Alto result has the company poised to register another record sales year,” said Suzuki Australia general manager Tony Devers.

“We have sorted our supply issues and now have good stock of Alto throughout the country and customers are responding to a driveaway price of just $12,490,” said Devers.
