CarTell take

We haven't driven the Vitara yet. On paper, towing capped at 1,200 kg braked on Turbo grades. The AllGrip system is not designed for serious off-road work, more for gravel and snow conditions.

Why consider it

  • AllGrip selectable AWD with four modes is rare at sub-$40,000 drive-away.
  • Drive-away pricing across every grade, 9-inch screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from base, and 5.6 L per 100 km combined on the 1.5 MHEV.

What to know

  • 5-star ANCAP date is 2015, behind newer rivals on protocol.
  • Cabin plastics and design feel a generation behind Korean SUVs.
  • No full hybrid or PHEV variant.

Who it suits

Snow country buyers, light-duty rural drivers and drive-away buyers who want selectable AWD under $40,000 with Suzuki dealer support and a five-year warranty plus roadside.
