New 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara Ultimate Adventure Edition

New 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara Ultimate Adventure Edition Preview Information

As a whole the automotive industry has begun to turn a corner, but not without first having endured a difficult couple of years full of unprecedented challenges. The most recent for Suzuki, as well as for many other OEMs, was the tragic earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan in March. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the millions affected, which include family members and friends of many of our own Suzuki employees. From an operations standpoint, our Hamamatsu-based headquarters is situated well outside of the region directly affected by the devastation. Nevertheless, we expect a slowdown in production volume in the months ahead, mainly due to parts and supplier shortages.

While sales in the U.S. have begun to turnaround and trend upwards, so have fuel prices, making Suzuki’s diverse line of small, affordable vehicles even more relevant to American consumers.

With Sales up nearly 17% year-to-date, Suzuki will continue to refine and improve upon the
competitiveness of its line-up in MY12 with more standard safety features, upgraded in-vehicle
technology, improved fuel-economy, new colors for every model and added special value
packages to further build on the brand’s value commitment to practicality and unparalleled value.

The Kizashi mid-size sedan enters MY12 with terrific sales momentum (+47% year to date) on the heels of earning new awards in consumer satisfaction from multiple premiere consumer research organizations. Recent unveilings of two Kizashi concepts at the New York International Auto Show – the fuel efficient EcoCharge model and the turbo APEX model – hinted at how the Suzuki can broaden the Kizashi’s appeal to broaden its fan base in the future. For 2012, the Kizashi improves on its winning value story by maintaining its starting price of $18,999 (plus Destination & Handling charge of $765) and adding a new high-value leather equipped Kizashi trim (SE Leather Edition) to the line-up with a starting price $2,000 lower than the top-trim SLS model. Overall, the Kizashi line-up pricing is up less than 1% for MY12 and builds on its reputation as a category “Best Buy” as recognized by Consumers Digest in 2011.

The on and off-road capable Grand Vitara compact SUV will arrive with a new model, named the
Ultimate Adventure Edition, featuring black chrome-finished 18-inch alloy wheels, water resistant
two-tone heated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, and integrated outside turn and fog lamps at a special value oriented price. Beginning in spring of 2012, the Grand Vitara will show off its new profile with a new rear tailgate design, eliminating the spare tire on some models. In addition, the Grand Vitara receives improvements to its class-exclusive standard navigation system, now featuring voice command recognition and an enhanced suite of standard interactive features such as traffic information, weather forecast, 3D maps including lane guidance, Google Local Point-of-Interest Search, among the highlights. The Grand Vitara’s starting price increases by $200 in thenew model year, and overall weighted average price increase is limited to just over 1% for the new model year.

Suzuki continues to refine and improve the ever-popular SX4 line – Sedan, SportBack and
Crossover AWD – with enhancements to technology, safety, and fuel economy. All SX4 models will adopt upgraded Garmin Navigation System with Voice Command Recognition (Navigation remains standard on all SX4 Sedan Sport trims and optional on other SX4 configurations) along with a suite of interactive features similar to those in Grand Vitara. The sedans will also receive standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC1) and rear disc brakes across the line up (currently standard on Crossover and SportBack), as well as improved fuel economy on the SX4 Sedan LE automatic (improvement of nearly 8% in MPG).

The MY12 SX4 Crossover AWD will retain its status as America’s most affordable all-wheel-drive
automobile with no increase to its starting price of $16,999 (plus $765 for destination & handling
charge) and will adopt standard Alloy Wheels on all automatic transmission equipped models.
Overall, the SX4 line-up will experience an average 1% price increase in MY12.

Last, but not least, Suzuki’s award-winning Equator midsize pickup truck will return to fill the needs of both our work-oriented customer as well as our weekend warrior customers whose passions are fueled by motorcycle and marine-related activities. For 2012, the Equator 4-cylinder models will adopt standard Electronic Stability Control now making ESC standard throughout the entire Equator line-up. The Equator will continue to offer a class-leading V6 motor and off-road hardware along with America’s #1 Warranty (7-years/100,000 miles of limited powertrain protection). Pricing for Equator will be released at a later date.

configurations, the Equator has found favor both with activity-oriented consumers and the enthusiast publications that serve them. The Equator is the only pick-up in America to offer a
