Suzuki Shines Again

Suzuki has once again proven its reputation for dependability, securing another impressive result in the 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey. The brand achieved a score of 95.7%, earning 3rd place out of 30 manufacturers — a testament to Suzuki’s long-standing commitment to building cars that drivers can trust.

Conducted annually, the What Car? Reliability Survey gathers insights from real vehicle owners with cars up to five years old. This year, more than 32,000 readers provided feedback across 227 different models, offering one of the most comprehensive assessments of vehicle dependability in the UK.

Suzuki Models Lead the Way

Suzuki’s performance wasn’t just strong overall — individual models also excelled in their respective categories:

• Suzuki Swift (2017–2024): Achieved an outstanding 95.9% in the Supermini class.

• Suzuki Vitara (2015–present): Scored 95.4% in the Small SUV category.

• Suzuki S-Cross (2021–present): Earned a solid 93.5% in its class.

Expert Insight

Claire Evans, Consumer Editor at What Car?, commented:

“Suzuki is a consistently high scorer in the What Car? Reliability Survey. It has remained in the top five manufacturers for the past five years, showing not only the durability of its models but also the quality of its dealer support. This year, Suzuki covered 88% of repair costs for cars under five years old, with 42% of issues resolved within a day.”

Extended Peace of Mind for Suzuki Owners

Suzuki owners can also enjoy long-term confidence with the brand’s up to 10-year warranty, introduced earlier in 2025. The warranty is automatically extended when vehicles are serviced at an official Suzuki dealership once the standard 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty ends.

Additionally, the new e-Vitara model includes an up to 10-year EV battery warranty (eight years manufacturer + two years service-activated), further enhancing ownership value for electric vehicle customers.

The warranty remains valid until the next qualifying service and can be transferred free of charge to a new owner — adding further appeal to Suzuki’s already strong resale value.
