Suzuki reviews, ratings & community

The new Vitara is beautiful, almost like the RAV4.

The Vitara is powerful, light and practical, with a 4-cylinder engine; flaws: plastic upper door trim and a less modern appearance.

De Vitara voelt aan alle kanten royaler aan dan de TYC. Geeft duidelijk meer zicht rondom de auto. De TYC is zeker in de bebouwde kom superzuinig. Het rijden met de Vitara geeft het gevoel in een grotere auto te rijden dan de TYC.

I have the Swace — it drives much more frugally than you state: 1:23. A downside as you get older is that getting in, and especially getting out, becomes harder because of the low seating position. The advantage of the low seat is better fuel economy. 16‑inch wheels are also likely to be more economical than larger ones. Rear legroom is poor. It would be nice if the rear bench were on rails like the Renault Twingo. Shrinking the boot would give more rear legroom. The 2014 Toyota Prius was the last to offer lots of rear legroom — after that it’s been rubbish.

Superb quality, fun to drive, and every bit of well layed out kit you'll ever need.

A very pleasant car for an affordable price. The only downside is poorly soundproofed doors and windows.

Proven reliability — it’s sold on every continent, and a real pleasure as a 4x4.

After trying both, I chose the Vitara for everyday use. In my view, its balance of performance, quality and price is superior.
