Suzuki Vitara (Fourth Generation)

Suzuki Vitara 1.5 Full Hybrid SZ5 2022 UK review

Should I buy one?

The mild-hybrid manual Vitara makes sense, because, even though the interior feels cheap and dated, it undercuts most rivals on price while offering good performance, excellent interior space, decent standard equipment and the promise of outstanding reliability. The new full hybrid version is more expensive yet worse in every appreciable way.

Particularly with the £2000 contribution Suzuki is currently offering retail customers, the Vitara Hybrid is still cheaper than the Yaris Cross or Captur E-Tech, but not by enough to excuse the archaic transmission, sluggish performance or low-rent interior and infotainment.

Save yourself £1750 by going for the mild-hybrid manual or get one of its rivals.

Suzuki Vitara Facelifted for 2024

The Suzuki Vitara facelift has just hit the European market. Here’s a quick look at what’s changed.

The Suzuki Vitara is one of the Japanese brand’s iconic models and despite its age, the 4th-generation Vitara has been given a mild facelift to keep it relevant. As a reminder, it was first revealed globally back in 2014 and locally, the range was bolstered by the addition of a turbocharged petrol engine in 2019.

We’ve since had another go in the turbocharged Vitara towards the end of 2020 and it was a reminder that this is one exceptional vehicle.

The Suzuki Vitara facelift for Europe gets a new-look front end as well as an upgraded infotainment system. Suzuki also says it has enhanced the safety offering. It appears the engine and transmission have been carried over. The brand also introduced some new-look wheels as well as two additional colours, one of which you can see here.

Inside, the cabin gets the new 9-inch infotainment system with a touchscreen display, USB, Bluetooth, Wifi connectivity, as well as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The Suzuki Vitara facelift for the European market gets adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, lane-keeping assist as well as driver monitoring system.
