In July 2024, sales of the Suzuki Swift car model decreased by 11% compared to June 2024 when only 8 cars were sold. Cumulative sales of this car model in 7 months of 2024 reached 225 cars, meaning a decrease of 2.2% compared to the same period last year.
With such a sales situation, it is not too difficult to understand that Suzuki's B-sized hatchback model is among the most sluggish car models in the auto market.
In addition, the once sought-after MPV Ertiga model is no better when sales in July 2024 only reached 19 cars. This is the first time this multi-purpose vehicle model has entered the Top 10 slowest selling vehicles of the month. This result also caused July sales of the Ertiga car line to decrease by 67.8% compared to the previous month.
However, cumulative sales of the Ertiga model in the first 7 months of 2024 still reached 1,200 vehicles, an increase of 298.7% over the same period last year. It is known that from 2022, Suzuki Ertiga has been upgraded to a mild hybrid engine with 3 versions with prices ranging from 538 - 678 million VND.
XL7 is another model in Suzuki's car product line with sluggish sales. After strong growth in June 2024, Suzuki XL7 sales in July could not maintain the upward momentum when only 20 cars were successfully sold, down 28.6% compared to the previous month and had the third month. 3 consecutive times in the list of top 10 slowest selling cars on the market in the month.
The decline in sales of the Suzuki XL7 was probably anticipated because the plan to launch the new hybrid version of the XL7 was scheduled for the end of August this year. With a selling price ranging from 600 - 640 million VND, Suzuki XL7 is currently the car model with the best sales and is the main selling product of this Japanese car company.
After June 2024 with 70 cars sold, the Suzuki Jimny lost steam again this July when sales decreased by 34.3%. Suzuki Jimny is imported completely from Japan and has just started selling in Vietnam since early April 2024. However, up to this point, the cumulative sales of this A-size SUV have reached 204 vehicles.
Also in July, Suzuki Jimny no longer caused a fever when the price of the car at dealers was basically sold at the company's listed price of 789 million VND. This A-size SUV is equipped with a 1.5L engine with 102 horsepower and 130 Nm of torque, combined with a 4-speed automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive system.
