Interior Design
Inside the Vitara is a refined world of high-quality materials, offering a space where you find every button, switch and dial in its natural place. There is a soft pad instrument panel, 4.2” multi-information colour LCD display, geometric pattern seats and smartphone linkage display audio to provide a more relaxing and easy going feel in the vehicle. The touchscreen infotainment system also comes equipped with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, providing seamless connectivity and access to navigation, music, apps, and more.
The Vitara also possesses several essential and helpful functions for everyday life, such as generous luggage space, a panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioning and a front centre armrest – all of which all add to the ultimate driving experience. There’s also plenty of room for shopping bags, suitcases, and all of life's “don't leave home without it".
Exterior Design
The Vitara has an appearance beaming with strength and energy, bolstered by bold styling and authentic design. The essence of Suzuki’s design, such as the bold 5-element grille, strong front bumper finished off with stylish chrome accents bring a sleek, modern look to the Vitara. On the outside, it's more compact than your average SUV and with a lighter body, it's easy to drive around town. This includes sleek lines, a bolder front grille, and stylish LED headlights, all of which give the Vitara both a modern and confident look. The available two tone colour schemes and various customisation options also now allow you to express your individuality.
What Advanced Safety features can the Suzuki Vitara come with?
The Vitara is packed full of safety features; however, some examples include:
- Dual Sensor Brake Support
- Lane Departure Prevention
- Lane Departure Warning
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Suzuki Safety Support
- Weaving Alert
Dual Sensor Brake Support
With the Dual Sensor Brake Support System, the Vitara employs two sensors while in motion - namely a monocular camera and a laser sensor. These sensors identify potential collision risks with other vehicles or pedestrians ahead. In the event it then detects such a risk, the Vitara will respond in 1 of 3 ways depending on the circumstances.
These consist of:
- Automatic braking, which applies a strong braking pressure automatically for you when it detects a collision is imminent
- Brake Assist, which will automatically increase your braking force when you require it the most to avoid a collision
- Warning, which alerts you with both an audio and visual warning
Lane Departure Prevention
With the Lane Departure Prevention System at speeds of 37 MPH and 100 MPH, the Vitara's lane departure warning system uses a monocular camera integrated into the windshield to identify your lane. When the system detects an impending lane departure without the driver using the turn signal, it automatically takes control of the steering via the electric power steering system, assisting the driver in returning the vehicle to its lane to prevent lane drift.
Lane Departure Warning
At speeds of 37 MPH or higher, the lane departure warning function will anticipate the path of the SUV and alert you through visual warnings on the display and indicator, as well as tactile warnings through the vibrating steering wheel.
Traffic Sign Recognition
With traffic sign recognition, the Vitara utilises a monocular camera to scan the road for traffic signs. Once it detects road signs such as speed limits or no passing zones, it displays them on the central screen to remind the driver of the signs they have passed. In case of detecting multiple signs, the system can display up to three signs simultaneously.
Suzuki Safety Support
The Suzuki Vitara is equipped with an innovative forward detection system from Suzuki that utilises both a monocular camera and a laser attached to the windshield. By combining the strengths of both devices, the system excels at detecting and recognizing various traffic elements such as pedestrians and lane markers, particularly at mid-to-long distances. The laser sensor is particularly effective in short-distance and low-light conditions, allowing for superior safety performance.
Weaving Alert
When it comes to the Weaving Alert, while driving at speeds of 37 MPH or higher, the weaving alert system evaluates the driving pattern and provides you with both audio and visual warnings if your SUV is veering off the road due to driver fatigue or other factors.
What Drive Modes does the new Vitara All Grip come with?
The new Suzuki Vitara comes with 4 drive modes. These include:
This system gives priority to the front wheel drive system to achieve maximum fuel efficiency during normal driving conditions. However, if the system then detects a wheelspin, it will automatically switch to 4 wheel drive mode to give you extra traction.
This mode engages permanent 4WD to help you drive out of deep snow or mud.
The Snow Mode is your solution to cope with snowy, icy, rainy or muddy terrain by providing essential traction and stability, when these conditions require it.
Sport Mode actively involves the 4-wheel drive system by analysing your accelerator inputs - which results in a more responsive driving experience - especially on those rural roads.
Does the Suzuki Vitara have a large interior/boot?
The Vitara has a boot space of around 375 litres with the rear seats up, which can allow for enough space to hold 7 suitcases alongside room for shopping and other essentials for the road.
