New Suzuki Equator Pickup Rendered - The Motor Report
Suzuki’s Equator pickup , not offered in Australia, had never been a particularly successful product for the Japanese carmaker. Based on the D40 Navara , the Equator was built in the US alongside Nissan’s own pickup, known there as the Frontier. But, while the Frontier pulls in around 5000 sales in the US each month, the Equator managed an average of 150 per month in 2012 - the year that Suzuki pulled its automotive arm from North America after 30 years of business there. Likely not to the US market, but a new Suzuki pickup could potentially do good business in Asia and here in Australia. Neither brand is likely to confirm any such plans at this stage, and Suzuki has already outlined its new-model plan for the next five years. Still, an offering in the hugely popular pickup market could go a long way to boosting sales and profit for Suzuki. Source: www.themotorreport.com.au
