We are pleased to announce that the Suzuki mini vehicle, Wagon
R had achieved the accumulated sales of two million units in Japan as of December
2003 (surveyed by Suzuki Motor Corporation.) It took the Wagon R ten years and
four months since its launch to achieve this record.
The Wagon R was introduced in September 3, 1993 as a revolutionary pioneer in
the "mini wagon" segment. Its original styling, spacious cabin, seat arrangement
for easy entry, luggage space with convenience and other characteristics has been
attracting great popularity, which has made the Wagon R one of the leading mini
vehicles in Japan.
The Wagon R achieved 500,000 units in October 1996, in a short period of three
years and two months after the launch, and one million in March 1999. In September
2003, we introduced the third-generation Wagon R, which had been developed as
a "versatile wagon for various users in various occasions."
