Suzuki has announced that it will be discontinuing a number of its models as it works to electrify much of its range.
The brand has stated that its Swift Sport, Jimny light commercial vehicle, Ignis and Swace models will be discontinued from the range by early 2025 – ‘or sooner if dealer stock depletes’. From that point, only Hybrid versions of the Swift, Vitara, S-Cross and Across will remain available.
The zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate has introduced a set percentage of new zero-emission cars and vans that manufacturers will be required to build each year up to 2030. Eighty per cent of new cars and 70 per cent of new vans sold in the UK will be zero-emission by 2030, rising to 100 per cent by 2035.
