Compare Suzuki car loans and finance options

Suzuki was established in Japan in 1937 and first started selling cars in Australia in 1980. Today, the brand’s Australian headquarters is located in Melbourne, and it also has dealerships in other areas of Victoria, as well as New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, ACT, Western Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania.

As well as selling cars, Suzuki also sells motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and wheelchairs. Its range of vehicles is designed to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Suzuki offers a moderate range of vehicles, including hatchbacks, SUVs, compact SUVs and 4WDs. It doesn’t sell any sedan models in Australia.

Popular models include:

• Swift GL (from $16,990), a hatchback with a 1.2L Dualjet engine and cruise control
• Baleno GL (from $15,990), a hatchback with 5.1L/100km fuel economy for manual models and 5.4L/100km fuel economy for automatic models

As with many other car brands, Suzuki has an in-house financing arm – Suzuki Car Finance – that can be used to take out a car loan. However, comparing other Suzuki car loan options rather than going straight through the dealer could help you save on interest rates, fees or both.

There are three other ways to organise a Suzuki car loan that you might want to explore before making a decision:

• Use a comparison website to research your options
• Engage a finance broker to secure a loan on your behalf
• Go direct to the lender

The amount you can borrow will depend on a number of factors, such as your earnings, savings rate and employment history. Typically, borrowers with a higher salary and savings rate and a more stable employment record qualify for higher loan amounts than those with a lower salary and savings rate and/or an unstable employment record.

Here are the approximate running costs for three different Suzuki models, based on RACQ category averages:

Here’s how much a five-year loan will cost for three different Suzuki models if you borrow 100 per cent of the purchase price over five years:
