The Vitara does a decent job in terms of practicality, but it’s nowhere near as roomy or as versatile as rivals like the Renault Captur. That said, all-round visibility is clear, and most of the controls are simple to find and use, other than the fiddly touch-screen system found on higher trim levels.

You might also have one or two issues with the driving position and some drivers will wish that the seat went lower. Note that the CO2 and fuel consumption are a tad worse on the Allgrip all-wheel drive version so think carefully about whether or not you really need this capability – it’s a useful option for country dwellers living along unmade lanes or in areas where the weather can make driving challenging in winter but probably wasted if you rarely drive outside city limits.Ĭolourful trim options help brighten up the interior should you so wish but most of the materials have a hard, shiny finish, making them feel rather low-rent. The gains aren’t as dramatic as a plug-in hybrid such as the E-Tech version of the Renault Captur but means Suzuki can keep the pricing competitive and the entry point to the range much more affordable. That said, you do get an impressive amount of standard equipment for your money, the adoption of ’mild hybrid’ technology helping to keep CO2 and fuel consumption down, to the benefit of both daily running costs and tax. It’s tough to say at this point how the Vitara will fare when it comes to resale values, but traditionally, Suzuki hasn’t exactly set the world alight on this score.
The Vitara is priced competitively compared with its main rivals, but perhaps surprisingly given Suzuki’s appeal as a low-cost, high-value brand, it’s no cheaper to buy.
