Suzuki Vitara review (2022) front view, driving

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The boosterjet engine is a revelation pulling well in normal 'auto' mode but flying in sports mode. The car is light and handles well in any of the four drive modes. Colour options for this new model is poor there's only 3 options but the deep red and black looks bang up to date with gloss black wheels as standard. My only problem with the whole range is the lack of drivers seat adjustment. If you want a Sun roof it's not available in the S trim but as there's not nearly enough head room for six footers like me in the SZ5 model so that's not a problem. The view forward is though as the roof drops down in front of the driving seat blocking off the view above, making traffic lights and street signs hard to see when close up. Lower seat rails please Suzuki. Seat comfort is good with plenty of side support and a nice covering. Plenty of leg room too for the front seats, but I still haven't had rear seat passengers yet so don't know what room there is there. The boot space is nicely set out with two levels and room for a space saver spare wheel but this is NOT a standard fit just the usual compressor and bottle of goo. All in all an impressive looking car that drives well and is endowed with all the latest goodies.

How reliable do you find the car?

It's barely run in but trouble free so far. Only problem so far is the wing mirror adjustment lever is the wrong way round, push the left hand side switch and the right hand mirror moves!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I bought this model because of its extensive goodies, and everything works well and is well integrated.
