Our latest weekday episode (powered by MOTORS!) features David Kateley, Suzuki’s UK Director of Automobile, in conversation with Curtis Hutchinson and Philip Nothard.
 
David’s been in the post since January 2025, when he succeeded industry legend Dale Wyatt as head of car operations.
 
Having joined the business in 2003 and previously served as the brand’s General Manager of Sales Operations and National Sales Manager, it’s fair to say that Suzuki is in his DNA!
 
Our interview covers the brand’s transitional strategy in 2025, with a focus on its long-awaited EV debut with the e-Vitara and how it plans to compete with emergent Chinese EV brands and established players.
 
David also sheds light on October’s trading, dealer satisfaction levels, the brand’s 10-year warranty package and strategic plans for 2026 and beyond.
