Recognition for Suzuki in What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards

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.
