On its homepage, Suzuki Vietnam issued a recommendation to domestic customers regarding booking deposits for Suzuki models not yet distributed in the country.
Specifically, Suzuki Vietnam stated that recently, there have been reports of Suzuki dealerships accepting reservations for new models.
The Japanese automaker affirmed that it has not released any information related to product details, pricing, booking or delivery times for products not yet officially distributed in Vietnam.
Therefore, Suzuki Vietnam advises customers to be cautious when making reservations for models not yet officially distributed and recommends that customers contact authorized Suzuki dealerships directly for advice and support with deposit refunds, if necessary.

Without directly mentioning any model names, Suzuki Vietnam’s announcement appears to be addressing recent reports about accepting reservations for the new Suzuki Swift.
Previously, several sources confirmed that the Suzuki Swift would be returning to Vietnam. Instead of being imported from Thailand as before, the B-segment hatchback will now be imported from Japan, resulting in a significant price increase compared to the previous phase before sales were paused.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Suzuki Swift quietly disappeared from Suzuki’s passenger car lineup in the Vietnamese market. The Japanese automaker has never publicly confirmed the “death” of this B-segment hatchback, nor has there been any official explanation for the pause in sales.
Before being discontinued, the Suzuki Swift had only one version, imported from Thailand, with a selling price of 560 million VND. The car uses a 1.2L gasoline engine, delivering a maximum output of 83 horsepower and a peak torque of 113 Nm.

Last year, the Suzuki Swift accumulated sales of 225 units, making it the second slowest-selling name in Suzuki’s passenger car lineup in Vietnam. The Suzuki Ciaz was the slowest-selling model for Suzuki in the previous year, with only 8 units delivered to Vietnamese customers.
At this time, the Suzuki Ciaz has also been discontinued in the Vietnamese market. The number of Ciaz and Swift cars sold to Vietnamese customers were products of the Suzuki Thailand factory, which will cease operations this year according to the plans of the Japanese automaker.
