Suzuki Vitara
VS
The Suzuki S‑Cross and Vitara live in the same family but play different roles: the S‑Cross is the sensible, spacious commuter while the Vitara is the cheeky all‑rounder with a touch more character. The S‑Cross wins on practicality — bigger boot, roomier rear seats and a cushier ride for long miles — while the Vitara dishes out sharper steering, bolder styling and peppier engine options for those who want a bit of fun. Choose the S‑Cross for economy and family duties; take the Vitara if you prefer personality and a small SUV that’s more adventurous than anonymous.
Suzuki Vitara
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Suzuki Vitara is the chunky, no-nonsense compact SUV that gives you more space, a tougher look and better off-road chops for less cash, while the Toyota Yaris Cross is the clever, hybrid-savvy city slicker that prioritises efficiency, refinement and tech. Pick the Vitara if you want practicality and a bit of adventure; choose the Yaris Cross if your commute is king and every drop of fuel counts — either way, you win, but for very different reasons.
