Suzuki Italia 50th anniversary

Overview

Suzuki Italia is marking its 50th anniversary of operations in Italy. The company, which began direct distribution in 1976 following initial motorcycle imports in 1970, has expanded its portfolio from motorcycles to include automobiles and marine engines.

During the Genoa Boat Show, the company showcased its sporty marine range and noted that the outboard motor market remains in good health. President and CEO Massimo Nalli indicated that the company expects to introduce a high-power engine exceeding the current 350 horsepower limit.

Reflecting on its history, the brand highlighted milestones such as motorcycle world championships in the 1980s, the 1982 introduction of cars like the Samurai, and the 2009 opening of its European Design Center in Italy. Looking ahead, the company plans to debut the VITARA, its first 100% electric model, in 2025.
