expecting the upgraded Vitara line-up to offer driver assistance technologies like autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control – stuff becoming increasingly standard across competing models. |
the Vitara Series II gets a new front grille and lower intake design, the latter also incorporating a radar sensor and update will include autonomous emergency braking. |
there's new tail-lights which are a darker shade of red, and the reversing light has been relocated from the tail-light clusters to the centre of the rear bumper. |
updates on the outside that consist of a redesigned grille, modified bumper, new taillights and two extra colors added to the palette |
Suzuki has also redesigned the instrument cluster, which features a color central information display. Moreover, the vehicle has soft touch plastics inside, and the company talks about “new technology”, which will likely be detailed in September, when the car will be officially unveiled. |
the 1.0-liter unit, which delivers 111PS (109hp / 81kW). The AllGrip four-wheel drive system is available as an option on the SZ-T equipped with a manual gearbox |
the 1.4-liter unit, which generates 140PS (138hp / 103kW) and 220Nm (162lb-ft) of torque. Standard equipment includes Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Traffic Sign Recognition, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Dual Sensor Brake Support |
There's a new 1-liter base turbo mill under the hood, which will deliver 111 HP, 9 less than the older 1.6-liter, which will still be available in some markets but only with FWD. The updated Vitara will continue to have a pack a 140 HP 1.4-liter turbo, available with AWD. |
Cosmetic changes aren't radical. At the front, the 2019 Suzuki Vitara gets a new radiator grille with six vertical bars and chrome accents, a more defined front bumper, fog lamps and LED DRLs. Slight tweaks have also been made to the fog lights and lower bumper. Rear end revisions are even smaller, mainly focusing on adding LED technology to the taillights |
Suzuki is big on safety technology, so the crossover is now available with forward collision alert, auto braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert. Most of this stuff will be standard on the top-end models |
Although the design is basically a keep concept, the exterior design of the new model is more sophisticated than the current model that has a somewhat car-like impression, giving a more SUV-like atmosphere. |
the powertrain will be equipped with a direct 4 1.4L direct injection turbo (136ps / 21.4kgm), just like the current model. |
New Escudo expected specifications ・ Length × Width × Height: 4200mm × 1780mm × 1620mm ・ Wheelbase: 2500mm ・ Vehicle weight: 1220kg ・ Engine: Inline 4-cylinder DOHC turbo, 1371cc ・ Maximum output: 136ps / 5500rpm ・ Maximum torque: 21.4kgm / 2100 ~ 4000rpm ・ Price : 2.8 million yen |

This design has been softened down several nothches, from the looks of it. |
With a 5-slot grill adopting the Indian style, the front lower grill looks like the new Toyota "RAV4" |
Maruti Suzuki had originally sold the long-wheelbase 5-door version "Gypsy", so the possibility of Indian 5-door Jimny is very high. In fact, there is information that Maruti Suzuki will also start sales in December at the final stage of development. |
Even with a gasoline particulate filter (GPF), control of particulates is never exceptional. On the other hand, NOx emissions are consistently low in all tests. Efficiency is unexceptional for a car of this low weight but greenhouse gas emissions are low, especially for 'laughing gas', N2O. |
The new generation must go a step further in this regard and although current information indicates that light hybrid technology will remain present, Suzuki is expected to raise the stakes and offer a superior alternative in terms of electrification. This is where there has been speculation about the possibility of the arrival of a full hybrid version (HEV) and even a plug-in hybrid variant (PHEV). |
Suzuki will introduce a new 1.5-litre petrol engine that will become the centerpiece of the fifth generation mechanical section. And despite this race to maximize consumption and emissions, the new Vitara will continue to have full-wheel drive versions to maintain certain ties to previous generations. |
The size of the vehicle will be slightly increased. It will grow especially far and wide. This will improve the available space in the cabin and the load volume of the trunk. And on an aesthetic level it will remain recognizable as a Vitara. The main changes will occur on the front. It will take a new look that will convey a more dynamic and modern air. |
