New Suzuki Jimny was launched successfully in the Russian market

The new generation Suzuki Jimny SUV, as expected, caused a stir among Russian motorists. Sales of new cars started on August 1st and by the end of the month reached 127 cars. The growth was a record 694% in compare with July, when the company sold the previous generation of SUVs, informed the press service of Suzuki Motor Rus.

Recall that the new Suzuki Jimny is presented in two trim levels - GL and GLX - at a price from 1 million 359 thousand rubles to 1 million 569 thousand rubles, respectively. Mainly due to Jimny, the Japanese company expects to implement ambitious plans to increase sales in 2019 to 8.5 thousand cars. Meanwhile, the Vitara crossover remains the locomotive for Suzuki sales, which was chosen by 374 Russian customers in August. For eight months of 2019, 2,984 vehicles of this model were sold - 23% higher in compare with the same period of the previous year.

In addition, Suzuki SX4 crossover sold 88 cars. “Jimny certainly played a big role in the August figures. This car was waited by Russians for a year. But it should be noted that our flagship Vitara is still in demand among customers,” - said the CEO of Suzuki Motor Rus, Mr. Takahashi Utah.
