Suzuki Vitara 2015 UK - pictures

It’s clear Suzuki has built the Vitara to last rather than visually appeal

New Vitara is only available with 1.6-litre petrol or diesel engines, both of which have 118bhp at their disposal.

This car cost £19,499 as tested.

0-62mph takes 11.5 seconds.

Vitara’s generous 375-litre boot is made even more practical by underfloor storage.

Top speed is 112mph.

There’s plenty of room once inside and a good amount of storage cubbies, too.

Narrow rear doors impede access slightly.

All models feature Bluetooth and alloys.

Top-spec SZ5 trim adds sat-nav, privacy glass, panoramic roof and adaptive cruise control.

Fual economy is 70.6mpg.
