What's the news?
Suzuki has announced that the VAT-free promotion on the Alto city car has been extended to the end of the year. All variants are included in the offer with the SZ model available for £5,999 - saving £1,200 on the list price.
Standard equipment on the SZ includes electric windows, central locking and a CD player. Suzuki describes the Alto as being ideal for younger drivers with a 4E insurance grouping. It is also zero rated for Vehicle Excise Duty thanks to 99g/km CO2 emissions, while the official fuel economy figure is 65.7mpg.
Personal Contract Plan finance is available until the end of the year. The minimum deposit is £779 with 41 monthly payments of £99 and a final cost of £2,352 to keep the car at the end of the plan.
Anything else?
This year Suzuki has enjoyed an increase in sales that makes it the second fastest growing brand in the UK. For the year-to-date 30% more cars have found buyers. A year end figure of 30,000 units is predicted, 8,000 more than in 2012.
