Suzuki Vitara review (2024)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Value for money heads the positives.Well specked,especially liked the driving and passenger seats adjustment you can find a position to suit any size.The road holding and suspension over uneven surfaces is very good indeed.MPH has been a revalation,recently back from a short tour of Germany returning a stated figure of 68.5 mph.On average,mixed motoring never lower than 65.May be an illusion but slightly better figures prior to recalibration for the emission problem now hopefully Euro6.The other plus has been tires we have reached 33000mls front set just above 3mm rears plus4. A very reliable performer,easy to drive,the only downside is the cab noise,when in rain you could be excused of thinking you were in a tin shed.Stand outside when the engine is running sounds like a farm tractor.A little more insulation when upgrading please.

How reliable do you find the car?

The emission problem was the most serious,Suzuki finally admitting not to Euro 6 standard and recalling it for recalibration.
