1. Improved finance offers for Hybrid Swift models
To further support customers looking at purchasing their new Hybrid Swift this year, Suzuki GB PLC is very pleased to announce some enhanced finance offers which are available immediately and until the end of December 2025.
Across the Swift range, Suzuki is currently offering a 0% APR PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) arrangement over 25 months with a minimum 20% deposit and now, to offer customers greater choice and flexibility, have introduced a 2.9% APR PCP arrangement payable over 49 months with £500 Finance Deposit Contribution (FDA).
Taking the highly specified 1.2-litre Hybrid Motion with manual transmission as an example and with the latest 2.9% PCP agreement chosen, an initial deposit of just £1,338 is all that’s needed followed by 48 monthly payments of £229; this is followed by the usual final payment for customers wishing to keep their car at the end of the agreement.
For customers looking at a Personal Contract Hire (PCH) option for a similar Swift Motion model, payments remain the same at £229 per month, payable over 36 months with an initial advance rental payment of £2,060 required.
Swift offers all the tech you need as standard and is renowned for its low cost of ownership, low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions. Swift Motion and Ultra models with manual transmission achieve 64.2mpg on the Combined consumption cycle and CO2 emissions are just 99g/km (both tested under WLTP regulation).
2. Recognition for Suzuki in ‘What Car?’ Used Car of the Year Awards
Suzuki once again achieves good recognition from What Car? magazine, this time the brand was awarded Runner-Up in the Best Used Car Scheme category in their recent Used Car of The Year Awards issue.
Judges were looking for various leading aspects of a manufacturer’s scheme to consider it as overall winner and Suzuki finished in second place by ‘the narrowest of margins’; these aspects included a long period of warranty cover which is up to 10 years / 100,000 miles for Suzuki cars, a full and comprehensive mechanical check, comprehensive breakdown cover as well as good hybrid and EV cover.
Suzuki certainly ticked all the boxes with its latest Approved Used Car Programme which is now also available for customers buying a used car from one of its 24 franchised dealers in the Republic of Ireland.
All customers choosing a Suzuki Approved Used Car that’s reached the end of its standard manufacturer warranty can benefit from one-year additional Suzuki warranty cover. For all Suzuki car owners Suzuki offers up to 10 years’ warranty free of charge, activated by the customer once their new car reaches the end of its manufacturer warranty period of three years / 60,000 miles and has its annual service completed within the Suzuki Dealer network.
The warranty stays in place until the next qualifying service and is simply renewed again up to a maximum vehicle age of up to 10 years / 100,000 miles. Major components are covered; and should a customer decide to sell their car between services and within the 10-year qualifying period, the warranty can simply be transferred to the next owner – again free of charge.
The recently launched e Vitara model also has up to 10 years EV battery warranty included with eight years manufacturer followed by a further two which are service activated.
