The model
Read full Suzuki Vitara reviewWhile the Suzuki Vitara comes with loads of standard kit and efficient engines, many of its rivals don’t cost that much more but are better to drive, more spacious inside and feel more upmarket. If you do get one, we recommend entry-level SZ-T trim and the mild-hybrid engine for the best value.

That’s because it keeps the price down while coming with plenty of standard equipment, including 17in alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic air conditioning, automatic LED headlamps, automatic front windscreen wipers, heated door mirrors and a 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
The engine
