Suzuki continues to score in Reliability Index
Lowest cost per claim across all manufacturers
The latest Warranty Direct survey has been published by What Car? Magazine and Suzuki's renowned reputation for reliability has again been reinforced with another strong result for the brand, scoring 48 points in the Reliability Index. The lower the number, the more reliable the brand, and Suzuki's was considerably lower than the average score across all manufacturers measured which was 149.
Suzuki were in second place overall across 37 manufacturers this year and joined seven other Japanese manufacturers in the top 10.
The Reliability Index takes into account all factors of a repair including the cost of parts, frequency of failures as well as time off the road. Suzuki cars measured in the survey had an average age of 5.35 years, mileage of 39,200 with time off the road of just 1.93 hours in the event of a warranty claim. There were no nasty surprises in store either as the average repair cost across the Suzuki range was £256 - the lowest of all manufacturers.
In the Supermini / City car segment, Suzuki's low cost of ownership was highlighted even further with the Alto model at an average of 5.15 years old ranking as one of the cheapest cars to repair at just £118. Alto achieved a Reliability Index score of only 14.00 points with an average time off the road of only 1.2 hours.
Suzuki's reputation of low cost of ownership continues too with its recently launched Celerio City car now available with new technology Dualjet engine. Dualjet offers even lower CO2 emissions of just 84g/km and 78.4mpg on the EC Combined fuel consumption cycle. The Swift Supermini is also now available with the Dualjet engine with CO2 emissions of 99g/km, combined fuel consumption of 65.7mpg and no annual VED to pay.
