Suzuki Vitara (2015-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Good to drive, and comfortable too	Disappointing interior quality
Lively 1.4-litre engine	1.0-litre model is quite slow
Lots of space inside	Vague steering

Quick Summary

The Suzuki Vitara (2015-present) marks a significant evolution, stepping down in size to compete in the highly popular compact SUV segment. It offers good front space and reasonable rear legroom, though the narrow cabin is best suited for two passengers. Boot capacity ranges from 289 to 362 litres depending on the hybrid type. While interior plastics can feel basic and the touchscreen infotainment system is somewhat dated, the cabin layout is generally logical.

Driving the Vitara is surprisingly engaging for its class, providing ample grip and agile handling, despite light steering. Engine options evolved from 1.6-litre petrol/diesel to 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre turbo petrols, with the 1.4-litre being a highlight. Optional 4WD and automatic gearboxes add versatility. Running costs are average, with petrol models achieving 40-50mpg. Petrol versions benefit from a long-lasting timing chain, contributing to lower long-term maintenance.

Best for: Drivers seeking a spacious and fun-to-drive compact SUV, buyers looking for a well-equipped car with a strong reliability record, and those who might benefit from optional 4WD or automatic gearboxes.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior quality or a modern infotainment system, those needing comfortable seating for three adults in the rear, or drivers sensitive to a firm ride or wind/road noise.
