For example, for a Swift 1.5 GLX three door model purchased under the Government scrappage scheme, no further deposit is required and monthly payments are from £130.90, payable over three years.

The APR for Swift on the PCP scheme has been reduced to 4.9 percent from 6.3 percent previously..

Suzuki is also continuing the zero per cent finance offers on selected Swift, Splash, SX4 and Grand Vitara models until the end of the year. Swift requires a 30 percent deposit, Splash and SX4 require 50 percent and Grand Vitara 40 percent.

According to Suzuki, there have been 8,600 orders taken and more than 7,700 already delivered to customers under the Government scrappage scheme.
