New look and more tech for Vitara

WHILE much of Suzuki’s SUV focus is on the all-new Jimny (driven on Page 8), it isn’t neglecting the evergreen Vitara.

As part of a mid-life facelift, Suzuki has gifted the Vitara a series of design revisions, new engines and safety tech.

Design changes are subtle. There’s a redesigned front grille with vertical slats, while the front bumper is new, too. The refreshed face is completed with new headlights boasting a redesigned lighting signature. New alloy wheel designs and fresh paint colours are available as well.

Inside, the instrument panel has been redesigned and now incorporates a colour TFT display between the dials. Suzuki claims to have used higherquality materials in the cabin, too.

Engines include new 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre turbo petrol units, with ALLGRIP all-wheel drive also available.

The revised Vitara goes on sale next month, priced from around £16,500.
