The
Suzuki Vitara is affordable, practical, and easy to live with. Though this doesn’t sound exhilarating, the Suzuki Vitara is anything but dull. Although this vehicle first went on sale in 2015, it underwent an upgrade in 2020: a new engine, improved styling, and cost adjustments. It always distinguished itself from the competition due to its price, but the upgrade meant that it now offered a lot more and still does; it is a large competitor in the SUV market with monthly rentals that are hard to beat and comfortable interiors making it a great car for longer journeys.
Thinking of leasing a Suzuki Vitara?
So is the competition? The Ford Puma, Renault Captur, Seat Arona, Skoda Kamiq, and Volkswagen T-Cross are some of its rivals, some of which offer mild hybrid power. The very efficient Toyota Yaris Cross competes head-to-head with the standard hybrid Vitara. But where does the Vitara sit amongst the competition? Let’s find out together.
Suzuki Vitara Drive
The Suzuki Vitara's 1.4-litre petrol engine, which generates 127 horsepower and incorporates mild hybrid technology to provide just a little bit more performance without losing fuel efficiency, is our engine of choice. You won't even realise the extra help, but that doesn't mean everything will move slowly. For a compact SUV, the Vitara is rather nimble, with plenty of acceleration to reach motorway speeds or overtake slower-moving traffic on a country road. It takes less time to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (9.5 seconds) than the identical Ford Puma and Volkswagen T-Cross vehicles.
When driving on a winding road, the Vitara handles curves reasonably well, but the steering is very light when you first turn the wheel and provides little sense of connection to the front wheels. It works better for city driving, making it easier for you to manoeuvre into parking spaces and through congested roundabouts.
Suzuki Vitara Interior
The Suzuki Vitara's interior is designed to be both functional and comfortable, with high-quality materials and modern technology. The latest model features a spacious cabin that can comfortably seat up to five passengers. It also offers a range of convenient features, such as a touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera. The front seats are supportive and adjustable, and the rear seats can be folded down to expand the cargo area.
Suzuki Vitara Space
There is plenty of room in the Suzuki Vitara for passengers - up to five can sit in the cabin comfortably. To increase the space and add more storage for supplies such as luggage, groceries, or outdoor equipment, the rear seats can be folded down. The Suzuki Vitara has a 375-litre maximum cargo capacity, which can be increased to 1,160 litres by folding the back seats.
MWVC's Conclusion
There are more upscale small SUVs available, but the Suzuki Vitara is one of the roomiest and offers excellent value. Even the entry-level model is equipped with a tonne of features, and its mild hybrid technology helps to reduce operating expenses. However, competitors with similar prices are more enjoyable to drive and have a more upscale interior.
