• Suzuki's yearly South African sales surpassed Volkswagen's for the first time in 2025, with 68,847 cars sold compared to Volkswagen's 62,382.
• Suzuki's sales growth in South Africa was influenced by the company's launch of its own operations in 2008, including the establishment of a head office in Johannesburg and the introduction of its iconic Swift model.
