√Suzuki Australia prices rise by up to $3500

The cost of most Suzuki cars and SUVs has increased by up to $3500, as the budget brand moves into new pricing territory.

Suzuki Australia – the distributor for Suzuki vehicles in all states and territories except Queensland – has increased prices across its hatchback and SUV range by up to $3500, even though no extra equipment has been added.

From September 7, prices have risen by between $1000 and $3500 drive-away – or $1000 to $3000 before on-road costs – depending on the model, with the largest increases applied to the Vitara Turbo small SUV.

All Suzuki models are affected by the price rises – except the Baleno city car, stock of which is depleting as it is discontinued from Australian showrooms over the coming months.

Drive-away prices for the Suzuki Jimny are not listed online. However, before on-road costs, prices have risen by $2000 for September, to $30,490 plus on-road costs for the Lite manual variant.

“The recent price increases are related to parts and materials shortages as well as the increase in shipping costs,” a Suzuki Australia spokesperson told Drive.

The latest price rises follow increases of up to $1000 earlier this year – and a range of increases applied last year.

It means that within a two-year period, the price of the cheapest Suzuki Swift has risen by a staggering 37 per cent – from $18,990 to $25,990 drive-away – while the base Ignis has increased from $18,990 to $23,490 drive-away.

Before on-road costs, the price of the standard Suzuki Jimny manual has risen by at least 25 per cent – or $6000 – since launch in early 2019, from $23,990 to $29,990 plus on-road costs.

Standard specifications are unchanged with the latest Suzuki price rises. The Swift range was upgraded earlier this year with new GL S and GL S Plus models, replacing the GL and GL Plus grades.

Price lists provided by Suzuki Australia show a $1000 before on-road costs price rise for the Swift GL and GL Plus, which are not listed on Suzuki’s website – but are still in stock at dealers as new cars.

September has also seen the launch of a heavily-updated Suzuki S-Cross, which has increased in price by $10,000 to $12,500 compared to its 2021 predecessor. As a new model, this is not directly affected by the September price rises.
