Result of verification tests by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on fuel efficiency and exhaust emission tests

Following the improper conduct in the course of fuel efficiency and exhaust emission tests, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) was to conduct verification such as measuring performance of some of the models.

Suzuki hereby makes notice that MLIT announced today, that as the result of verification tests on driving resistance, fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions carried out by National Agency for Automobile and Land Transport Technology, fuel efficiency data (value of fuel consumption indicated on our product brochures) and exhaust emissions data were found to be without any problem.

We take special notice of the fact that our improper conduct in measurement of driving resistance, different from regulations set by MLIT, had caused our customers, clients and stakeholders inconveniences and concerns, for which we hereby deeply apologise and will place our utmost efforts to work on measures to prevent recurrence of such an incident in the future.

Suzuki wishes to ask customers to continue use of its products at ease.
