The Suzuki Vitara: first impressions

Motorburn readers with a long memory might recall the original Suzuki Vitara, released nearly 30 years ago. Those with a slightly shorter memory might recall the Grand Vitara, the slightly larger, more well-equipped version that launched a little later. The current Vitara, recently launched in South Africa has little to do with those earlier predecessors, and that might not be the worst thing.

Built on an entirely new platform, the latest generation Vitara is more of a compact crossover, and is Suzuki’s attempt to take on the likes of the Nissan Juke and Ford Ecosport. Whether it manages to do so will largely be down to the buying public. But after putting the Vitara through its paces, Motorburn can say that based on driving experience alone, the competition may well be tighter than it looks.
