Well when they try to sell stupid cars like the Suzuki Kizashi, of course can't sell. But their Suzuki Swift did quite well. Vitara was ageing and they didn't bring in new model. They pulled out cause of Proton deal bro, not because of bad performance.
The Suzuki Kizashi is a CBU and 2.4 litre which is quite stupid in Malaysia market.
The Suzuki Swift (besides the sport) is basically for people who thinks they're exotic animal.
The Alto is such a joke, it is being sold at myvi price point but so much less than a myvi.
The Vitara is just bad.
Suzuki got a real bad product line up in Malaysia, not competitive at all compared to the big T and H. The new swift is a joke as well, the specs are so weak compared to the previous gen.
Suzuki withdrawal from Malaysia is not caused by Proton, i dont even think Proton have the caliber to buy over any sub-well-doing manufacturer in Malaysia. Basically Suzuki is planning on withdrawing and Proton took over to leverage on Suzuki's dealer network.
