The Suzuki Swift is back! Did it ever leave though? Technically speaking, the refreshed Suzuki Swift is almost identical to its pre-facelift sibling, but there are some changes and improvements from the old model that modernise it to compete with the current generation of compact hatches.

Putting the Sport in SUV with the Suzuki Vitara
Suzuki is no stranger to the world of off-roading, having the utilitarian Jimny, their first 4WD model as the bona fide option for trail-hungry enthusiasts from as early as 1970. Towards the end of the millennium however, scores of consumers were beginning to show interest in more usable utility vehicles but without the bare-bones build… Continue reading Putting the Sport in SUV with the Suzuki Vitara
The updated Suzuki Swift is all about the right feels!
Suzuki recently hosted automotive press for the national launch of their mid-cycle refresh of their best-selling Swift model.

Suzuki Baleno Launch
Suzuki launched its newest model last week, the Baleno. Believe it or not, there are two previous versions of this car that I am too young to remember, so this makes it Baleno number 3.

Suzuki Vitara meets a Tzaneen road trip.
A different holiday with a different car: Is it just us, or does it feel like the last three months have gone by quicker than one can say the word “holiday”? Yes it feels like a mere few weeks ago when the Johannesburg roads were quiet, the Durban roads were congested and the Cape Town… Continue reading Suzuki Vitara meets a Tzaneen road trip.

What if you had to drive a Suzuki for the rest of your life? for fast food. But let’s for a moment use our imagination and picture a world where we only had one brand of cars to choose from.
