Vitara

Suzuki Vitara

  • Engine Type : Petrol MHEV, Full Hybrid, Electric
  • Transmission : Manuel, Automatic
  • Drive Type : Front-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive
  • Power HP : 110 - 184 HP
  • Consumption L/100km : 5 - 5.9 L/100km
  • Consumption kWh/100km : 14.9 - 16.6 kWh/100km
  • Electric Range : 344 - 426 km

Design & Presence

The Vitara wears Suzuki's compact-SUV look with chunky wheel arches and a high ride that reads practical rather than showy. At 4,185 mm long, 1,775 mm wide and 1,595 mm tall it sits neatly in tight urban parking while still feeling substantial on the road. Styling is conservative with small touches like a two‑tone roof option to add personality without courting controversy.

Interior & Usability

Cabin quality has stepped up with soft‑touch surfaces where it counts, although hard plastics remain in less visible areas to keep costs down. Seats are supportive enough for longer trips and ergonomics are straightforward, with controls easy to reach and operate. Infotainment includes smartphone mirroring and a responsive interface that keeps daily use simple and familiar.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot capacity sits around 375 litres in standard guise and can be expanded to roughly 1,046–1,120 litres with the rear seats folded, while some hybrid variants report slightly smaller figures — enough for a pram plus groceries or weekend luggage. The Vitara seats five with sensible rear legroom for school runs and short motorway stints. Payload figures of roughly 375–395 kg mean everyday loads and a set of bikes on a weekend won’t overwhelm the chassis.

Driving & Handling

The Vitara is offered with a punchy 1.4 Boosterjet mild‑hybrid at about 129 hp and a smoother 1.5 Dualjet full‑hybrid producing 116 hp, available with manual or automatic gearboxes and in front‑ or all‑wheel‑drive setups. The 1.4 produces around 235 Nm of torque and gives the car a willing mid‑range, while the 1.5's hybrid assistance smooths off‑take at low speeds. Expect 0–100 km/h in roughly 9.5–12.7 seconds depending on engine and gearbox, with composed handling, light steering and a comfortable ride that suits both town runs and country B‑roads.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Official consumption figures sit between about 5.0 and 5.6 L/100 km, with MHEV models around 5.3–5.4 and the full hybrid nearer 5.0 in ideal conditions. With a 47‑litre tank that equates to a theoretical motorway range approaching 800–900 km, though real‑world urban driving and cold weather will reduce that number. CO2 output varies between roughly 113–129 g/km, underlining that the hybrid options are aimed at buyers who prioritise low running costs.

Assistance & Infotainment

Safety equipment is now competitive for the class, with autonomous emergency braking, lane‑keep assist and traffic sign recognition available on higher trims to ease busy commutes. Adaptive cruise and parking sensors are optional extras that add convenience rather than headline‑grabbing autonomy. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with clear menus and sensible functionality for everyday use.

Who is it for?

The Vitara suits buyers after a compact, affordable SUV that prioritises practicality and low running costs rather than premium flair. Choose the 1.4 Boosterjet MHEV for sharper performance and occasional light off‑road work with AWD, or the 1.5 Dualjet full‑hybrid for the best fuel bills and smoother urban manners. Its manageable dimensions, decent boot space and straightforward equipment make it a sensible pick for small families, rural commuters and anyone wanting an uncomplicated everyday SUV.

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