Suzuki, a multinational automobile and motorcycle manufacturer based in Shizuoka, Japan, has reached an impressive milestone by selling a total of 80 million vehicles worldwide as of August 2023. The company operates 15 production facilities in 10 countries, producing cars, bikes, outboard marine engines, and other products. Suzuki’s vehicles are sold in 184 countries. Out of the 80 million cars sold, 36 percent were in Japan, 10 percent in Europe, 13.5 percent in Asia, 32.6 percent in India, and 7.8 percent in the rest of the world.

Suzuki began its journey towards 80 million sales with the launch of Japan’s first mass-production mini-vehicle, the Suzulight, in October 1955. The company expanded its presence in the global automobile market by introducing the Fronte 800 in 1965, a compact vehicle.
