Suzuki sales in the UAE grew 40 per cent in 2004, officials said.
"Consumers in the UAE have started to recognise the Suzuki brand as a premium Japanese make, offering the same quality and reliability as any other line of Japanese automobiles. We are on a high note. Our sales are very encouraging." said Marwan Al Rostamani, general manager of Al Rostamani Trading Co.
"We are embarking on serious efforts to enhance the after-sales support infrastructure. We want to increase consumer confidence. We think the outlook for Suzuki in the UAE is very positive," Al Rostamani said.
The star performer from the Suzuki line-up has been the popular sports utility vehicle (SUV) Suzuki Grand Vitara, demand for which grew by 75 per cent over 2003, officials said.
"The Grand Vitara remains our most popular vehicle. It enjoys legendary status and was one of the first small SUVs produced ever. The Grand Vitara's availability in a variety of engine types and also as a three-door and a five-door 4x4 offers the best choices to the consumer. The vehicles are priced exceptionally well," said Al Rostamani.
The Suzuki range of small and medium sized SUVs are positioned to do well, officials said.
