Suzuki will offer a 10 year warranty on the new e Vitara, its first electric model, when it goes on sale this Autumn. This means it will match the cover offered by Toyota on its version of the car, the Urban Cruiser.
Launching to its UK and Republic of Ireland customers on 1st May, the Service Activated Warranty is offered once the Suzuki reaches the end of its manufacturer warranty period of three years / 60,000 miles and is booked in for its next scheduled service within the Suzuki Dealer network.
This warranty stays in place until the next qualifying service and is then simply renewed again up to a maximum vehicle age of 10 years / 100,000 miles - whichever comes first.
Major components are covered, and should a customer decide to sell their vehicle between services and within the 10-year qualifying period, the warranty can simply be transferred to the next owner free of charge.
Additionally, Service Activated Warranty can also be applied to a Suzuki vehicle that has been purchased privately or has a gap in its dealer service history.
Commenting on the launch, Denis Houston, Director Aftersales, Suzuki GB PLC, said: “At Suzuki, customer experience and retention are paramount, the extension of Service Activated Warranty will certainly enhance this for the future, ensuring our customers get the best levels of service, fitment of genuine parts and avail of the expertise within our dealer network rather than going to a non-franchised repairer once their manufacturer warranty expires. Offering Service Activated Warranty free of charge for both UK and Irish customers is something we are very proud to offer as a strong message”.
