“For a robust crossover, the Suzuki Vitara drives well. With that safely in the bank, we’re inclined to look on its shortcomings kindly.”

“What a fine car. When you look at the prices being asked for supposedly more premium products that are actually no roomier or quicker, nor better built, you can feel pretty smug that you’re in a Suzuki Vitara S. Not just because it’s practical and versatile, but because it’s a satisfying, if low key, car to drive.”

“It’s a specific place the market, but if you need a small, low-cost SUV with good four-wheel drive, a decent boot and competitive emissions the Suzuki Vitara is excellent value for money.”

“We think the Suzuki Vitara offers a lot of space and equipment for the money. It may not be as stylish as other small SUVs nor as desirable, but we think the smart money would go on the Vitara every time.”

Score: 6 / 10
“Suzuki’s sensible SUV is as likeable as ever, but it isn’t quite as good as it needs to be to truly justify its increased price. And while the new 1.0-litre engine is fun if you wind it up, it can be frustrating to use around town – which is where most Vitaras will find themselves.”

“There are more upmarket small SUVs, but the Suzuki Vitara is still one of the most spacious and is pleasantly capable. What’s particularly appealing about the Vitara is that the range starts at an incredibly competitive price point, although moving through the trim levels can start to add up.”

“The Suzuki Vitara is a handsome and practical competitor in the compact SUV class. Safety is a strong suit, and there’s plenty of technology on board, as well as the option to have all-wheel drive. However, the Vitara lacks the interior quality and polished driving experience of its closest rivals.”
