People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Suzuki Vitara:
The Suzuki Vitara is a series of SUVs produced by Suzuki in five generations since 1988. The second and third generation were known as the Suzuki Grand Vitara, while the fourth generation eschewed the "Grand" prefix. In Japan and a number of other markets, all generations have used the name Suzuki Escudo until 2024.
The choice of the name "Vitara" was inspired by the Latin word vita, as in the English word vitality. "Escudo", the name primarily used in the Japanese market, refers to the "escudo", the monetary unit of Portugal before adoption of the Euro. The original series was designed to fill the slot above the Suzuki Jimny. The first generation was known as Suzuki Sidekick in the United States. The North American version was produced as a joint venture between Suzuki and General Motors known as CAMI. It was also sold as the Santana 300 and 350 in Spain and in the Japanese market, and in select markets was rebadged as the Mazda Proceed Levante as well....(Read more on Wikipedia)
IV (facelift 2024) Overview:
Suzuki Vitara (IV (facelift 2024)). With 138 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1263 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. The top speed reaches 175 km/h. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Similar performance characteristics to its ALLGRIP counterpart, focusing on smooth, economical power delivery. The AGS remains a point of consideration for driving feel.
Fuel Economy
Likely the most fuel-efficient internal combustion option for urban driving, benefiting from the full-hybrid system and the absence of the ALLGRIP drivetrain's minor losses.
Best Use Case:
Primarily city and highway driving for those seeking maximum fuel economy without the need for all-wheel drive.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Diverse powertrain options including mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, and all-electric
- • Optional ALLGRIP system for enhanced traction and light off-road capability
- • Compact dimensions make it agile in urban environments
- • Suzuki's reputation for reliability and durability
- • Good fuel economy from hybrid variants
- • Competitive pricing in its segment
Cons:
- • AGS transmission in full-hybrid models may not appeal to all drivers
- • Interior design, while refreshed, might still feel less premium than some rivals
- • Limited rear legroom for taller passengers
- • Ride comfort can be firm on rougher surfaces
- • Some competitors offer more advanced infotainment systems
