| Under the discreet design of the SUV, hides almost a hot hatch |
| the efficient 1.4 turbo engine (BoosterJet) with gasoline direct injection, to 146 horsepower and torque kgfm 23.5 since 1,700 rpm, connected to six-speed automatic transmission. We tested the version with only front wheel drive, but there are 4 x 4 option, another differentiator of the Vitara. |
| Using the Vitara in the daily commute, had already noticed a fast car. But when it arrived the performance numbers on the track, we are surprised even more. With the data at hand, the Vitara has left all direct competitors eating dust |
| For example, the 8.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h make the Chevrolet Tracker 1.4 turbo back (9.3). This number to hit even the Chevrolet Cruze Sport6 1.4 turbo (8.7) and the VW Golf 1.4 TSI (8.6). In braking, it got even more serious. The 37.5 meters of 100 km/h to 0 shows that if we thought the Hyundai Crete (39.7 m) the reference, things have changed after this Japanese. In short, if we were in our Super-comparison of SUVs, this would take all the points of performance. |
| The same surprise appeared in numbers. Drinking gasoline only (it is not flex), we have no way to compare the consumption of the Vitara with direct competitors, which have been tested with ethanol, however the 13.5 km/l in town and 17.6 km/l on the road are trademarks of respect and that outweigh the small 47 litres tank-resulting in a nearly 635 km urban autonomy, and in addition to the road 820 km. |
| The surge was led by the Renault Captur and Peugeot 2008 and further propelled by strong year-on-year gains for the Fiat 500X, Suzuki Vitara, Ford EcoSport and Jeep Renegade. |
| Despite its small size, the rugged Suzuki Vitara boasts a very spacious interior and is one of the more affordable crossovers on the market (it’s also cheap to run). The ride and handling are a huge upgrade on the Grand Vitara, plus it also manages off road terrain with ease. |
| Radar brake support Ⅱ (RBS II ) as a standard equipment is applied as a collision damage reduction system based on millimeter wave radar system . Front collision warning function, front collision warning brake function, front collision damage mitigation brake assist function, automatic brake function are provided, and safety functions are enriched. SRS curtain air bag, front seat SRS side air bag as standard equipment. Adaptive cruise control which measures speed difference and inter-vehicle distance with the preceding vehicle and automatically accelerates and decelerates while maintaining the distance to the preceding vehicle at the preset speed (about 40 to about 100 km / h) , adaptive cruise control (ACC) as standard equipment |
| camouflage suggests cosmetic updates will be extensive. We're looking for a new bumper, lower grille and surrounds for the fog lights. as the 2018 Vitara prototype sports brand new headlights, while the headlights are obviously the old ones. They appear to be going for a more three-dimensional look to give it a modern touch. |

| For 2019, the front end will feature a new bumper with tweaked grille and fog lights. We also see a radar scanner installed right in front of the radiator, meaning the Vitara will have auto emergency braking and maybe even adaptive cruise control. |
| But it's also possible that the base naturally-aspirated 1.6-liter will be downsized to a 1-liter, thus competing with the Ford EcoSport. |
