Suzuki Owners The Most Satisfied Drivers
Roy Morgan Research last night revealed the winner of its 2nd annual Customer Satisfaction Award for Car Manufacturer of
the Year at a gala dinner in Auckland.
Throughout 2012, Roy Morgan Research surveyed over 12,000 consumers across New Zealand. Based on their responses, each
month we awarded the Car Manufacturer with the highest proportion of satisfied customers.
Suzuki wins 2012 Car Manufacturer of the Year
The automotive industry is one that has traditionally held the highest levels of satisfaction in New Zealand. Kiwis
really do get excited about their new cars. But Suzuki has stood out, winning back-to-back Car Manufacturer of the Year
Awards.
Suzuki CEO, Bill Grice, has just announced his plans to retire next month, after 35 years of service to the company. He
leaves the company with 2012 customer satisfaction levels as high as 98%.
Pip Elliott, General Manager, Roy Morgan Research NZ, says:
“Now in only its second year, these Awards are becoming recognised as currency in the automotive industry, being the
most accurate and trusted indicators of customer satisfaction in New Zealand.
“By integrating customer satisfaction measures with our world-leading Single Source survey of over 12,000 Kiwis, we
offer businesses incomparable research into just how satisfied their customers are and areas where they could improve.
“Roy Morgan Research congratulates not only Suzuki, but all car makers, large and small, that consistently aim to satisfy their Kiwi customers.”
