Suzuki road tax in Malaysia is calculated based on engine capacity (cc), vehicle type (saloon or non-saloon), and registration type (private or company-owned). The rates differ between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah/Sarawak, and duty-free zones like Langkawi and Labuan. Road tax is payable annually (12 months) or half-yearly (6 months), though most owners opt for annual payments for convenience.

How Much Is Suzuki Road Tax for Different Models?
Suzuki road tax costs vary by engine size and region. Below are annual rates for popular Suzuki models in Peninsular Malaysia (private ownership, saloon/non-saloon classification applies).
- Suzuki Alto 1.0L (996cc): RM20 per year (RM10 for 6 months).
- Suzuki Swift 1.4L (1372cc): RM70 per year (RM35 for 6 months).
- Suzuki Swift Sport 1.6L (1586cc): RM90 per year (RM45 for 6 months).
- Suzuki Jimny 1.3L (1328cc, non-saloon): RM100 per year (RM50 for 6 months).
- Suzuki APV 1.5L (1468cc, non-saloon): RM90 per year (RM45 for 6 months).
For Sabah/Sarawak, rates are typically lower. Example: The Suzuki Swift 1.4L costs RM56 annually instead of RM70. In duty-free zones like Langkawi, road tax is fixed at RM20 for engines below 1.0L and 50% of Peninsular rates for larger engines.
Does Ownership Type Affect Suzuki Road Tax?
Company-owned Suzuki vehicles incur higher road tax than privately owned ones. For example, a company-registered Suzuki Swift 1.6L may cost RM120 annually compared to RM90 for private ownership. Non-saloon vehicles (e.g., SUVs like the Jimny) follow commercial vehicle rates, which are generally higher than saloon cars.
How Is Suzuki Road Tax Calculated?
Road tax is determined by engine displacement brackets. For private saloon cars in Peninsular Malaysia:
- Up to 1.0L (e.g., Alto): RM20/year.
- 1.1L–1.5L (e.g., Swift 1.4L): RM70/year.
- 1.6L–1.9L (e.g., Swift Sport): RM90/year.
Non-saloon vehicles (e.g., APV, Jimny) use a separate rate structure. Example: The Jimny 1.3L falls under the RM100/year bracket for sub-1.6L non-saloon vehicles.
What Is the Cost of Suzuki Car Insurance in Malaysia?
Suzuki insurance premiums depend on model, age, and coverage type. Comprehensive insurance for a Suzuki Swift 1.4L typically ranges from RM1,200 to RM2,500 annually, while third-party coverage may cost RM500–RM1,000. Newer models like the Suzuki Swift Sport or Jimny may have higher premiums due to market value and repair costs. Insurance renewal requires an inspection for older vehicles, and no-claim discounts (NCD) can reduce premiums by up to 55%.
How Can You Renew Suzuki Road Tax Online?
Renewal is possible via MyJPJ, MyEG, or JPJ portals. Digital road tax eliminates physical stickers, and payments can be made via online banking or e-wallets. Late renewals incur penalties of up to RM150, so timely payment is advised.
Are There Exemptions for Suzuki Road Tax?
Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid Suzukis enjoy partial exemptions. However, Suzuki’s current Malaysian lineup consists mainly of petrol engines, so standard rates apply. In Langkawi/Labuan, all vehicles pay a flat RM20 for sub-1.0L engines and half the Peninsular rate for larger capacities.
