Top review. Just what the real life driver wants.
I recently purchased a 2018 non hybrid version of this car in SZ5 trim. Many SUV's of this size have small capacity 3 cylinder engines. In my opinion they are too highly stressed and too small to power a small SUV. The Suzuki 1.4 booster jet 4 cylinder turbo chain driven engine is a real gem. It is very quiet and pretty powerful. The car is very comfortable and the safety kit is very generous. The plastics inside are a bit lightweight but this all helps keep the weight down and improve fuel economy. Definitely the best small SUV on the market. A very good review thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video and glad you are enjoying yours 😊
Suzuki's are very underated and overlooked cars, bombproof reliable, had a 14 year old Ignis 4Grip never let me down, no rust, never had to replace anything other than usual wear items. Now have the Suzuki Vitara 1.4 Boosterjet and it's a dream to drive and own.
They are very impressive and in the UK voted 2nd best manufacturer
Agree on that completely! I'm driving older 2017. Vitara 1.6 Petrol and I'm very satisfied!
Really good review, explaining a lot of features I was curious about. Thanks for that.
Really pleased you enjoyed it and hopefully you might find some more videos on the channel :)
Great review of this amazing car! I'm driving older 2017. Vitara with petrol engine (1.6) and I'm extremely satisfied with this car in so many ways!
And this new verison is even so much better!
Thankyou for your review, I have just bought this, hopefully pick it up next week. Honestly the best review i have seen on the web x
I am really happy for you getting a new Vitara and just as pleased you enjoyed the review 😊, which spec and colour did you choose
What was the lead times out of interest.
Great video. Thanks!
Good, practical review. What all car reviews should be like
Thank you , Glad you enjoyed it
Great video I have a late 2017 Vitara and I am really impressed with it its a 1.6 auto and achieves 43 in town and 50 on a run now thinking of this model 😀
Glad you enjoyed the video , not sure how much has changed fundamentally between your model and this, not sure if you are in the uk but everything is mild hybrid so small engines and costs a bit more
Nice and really detailed review, appreciate your work sir. Thanks !
Thank you ever so much, trying to offer viewers something a bit different from many of the other channels 😊😊
Have to say, next to Mat Watson at Carwow, this is the best Suzuki Vitara review I have watched, Mat is a bit of a Suzuki fan, but does great honest reviews, warts and all.
Know about the boring interior with cheap nasty plastic, however this car has so much more to offer, the safety features are unbelievable for its class, well above others.
Pick up my Vitara on Saturday, looking forward to it. Your review helped me make the decision easier, 3 years old with 16K, still a baby. Thanks for your inspiration.
That is such an amazing comment 👏👏, really pleased you enjoyed it and found it useful and being mentioned in the same sentence as Matt Watson. Hope you enjoy your new car 😊
Thanks, great and informative review video
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Fantastic review.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed the review
I own a late 2017 version of this with the previous incarnation of the 1.4turbo no hybrid but 140bhp. Vitara S Auto Allgrip. Its a fine car, and when I replace it probably going to be another Vitara. Enjoyed your review, almost makes you want to swap mine..almost.
I Am really pleased you enjoyed the video and enough Information to ALMOST buy a new 1 😂 lots of other Suzuki content on the channel as well
Suzuki needs to come back to the U.S. They have great and very capable little off-roaders!
I am amazed Suzuki are not in the U.S, is that all of there cars or just this 1 ?
@@DamoDrives they quit the us market in 2013 due to poor response from consumers
Replaced Saab 93 and 900 with this one in ice bluish with blacked roof . Another experience, that's for sure. The retro feeling and atmosphere of the Saabs is not present, it's all pretty hype. Nevertheless, missed them for like only a week. Panoramic roof is a must to enjoy driving on small country roads. This car can cope highway too if you don't mind the noise. But for it's price, this is the best buy in it's segment. Stuffed with ADAC , lane assist (even slightly self steering), adaptive cruise control, blind corner warning, parking sensors, and so on. Body parts are very expensive (not at fault). Plastic grey strip around the fog light for the rear bumper (only the part, no labour) is like 400€. Bought the full option glx (Europeans most luxurious), no Allgrip, for 22000 euros, vat incl (19000pounds) after discounts and still 7 years of warranty. Need no more. Great review too!
You really do get a lot for your money and a very good level of equipment levels. Pleased you enjoyed the video 😊
A detailed and slick review Damian, cap doffed. I’d go so far as to say it is one of your best, not that your others are in any way poor. It appears to be a good value for money offering that deserves consideration if you are in the market for a new mid-sized family car that won’t break the bank.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed the slightly shorter and snappier video. It certainly is a good value for money car and even taking more out of the equation it’s still pretty good
Nice review of a nice car
Really pleased you enjoyed the video 😊,
Bring this thing to the US, it will sell like crazy!!!
It always surprises me when viewers from other countries so they cannot get this car and that car, seems common sense to offer it, is Suzuki available at all in the US ?
@@DamoDrives no longer unfortunately...
Nice review! purchased a sz t petrol last year. It is a bit on the small side when you have two child seats at the back but we are a family of 4. The hybrid version didnt seem to come with automatic gearbox!
Glad you enjoyed it, are you at the stage of crisps and sweet wraps all over the back of the car yet
@@DamoDrives yeah lollipops dropped on to the floor stage lol
Door bins are great for crisps as well , remember this stage a few years ago although my car just gets mud from my dog
The auto is out now.... covid 🙄
I got my vitara safari 1.4t with white 2 tone color
Very nice , bet you are happy 👏👏
Nice review, no-nonsense, no comparing it to cars twice the price, it's a good cheap little family SUV! With Suzuki's reliability (I hope)!
Really pleased you enjoyed it, I try and give down to earth reviews for the average person like me who might actually buy something like this, telling someone a BMW X5 at £95,000 is a better car does not help anyone 😂
@@DamoDrives Very true mate!
Slick review Sir. I recently bought a 16 plate Suzuki Vitara S for my wife which drives and handles like a sports car. However, I have to confess that it’s got an awful wind and road noise especially on the motorways which give me a migraine. I am really not sure how to fix this after having paid a fortune for it...
Glad you enjoyed the video but that is frustrating with the noise. The profile of the tyre can make a difference to the road noise but unfortunately I can not say. Wind noise is not something you can do anything about 😢
I've the same car and changed to Michelin Cross climate
Cross. Much quieter and very grippy ...
Can you fit a forward facing seat for a 1 year old in the back and have a 10 and 7 year old sitting as well?
Great car
They are good and really good value for money
@@DamoDrives i buyed the vitara cool just now in january 👍🚙
What is the boot space, it wasn’t mentioned.
The Jimny does not have Allgrip AWD. It's got a full 4x4 drivetrain.
Great review! I've been driving a Grand Vitara for years and love it. The only problem I have is on a windy day on the motorway it feels like it feels like it's all over the road. Do you think the new model holds the road better? Thinking of changing and love my vitara so much I haven't even considered anything else.
The new one is much better; your local dealer will give you a test drive to make sure. I don’t know how many miles you have done on the old one , but 1 or more of your shock absorbers may be damaged?
I agree the new model is really good, good value for money , built well and present to drive. Did not have any issues with the car drifting, happily sat at 60mph with no drama
@@DavidSmith-le9pn only 66k on it and kept fully serviced so no issues there. Despite this small issue I still love it.
@@DamoDrives Great, can't bring myself to part with my current one yet but think I'll definitely be going with a Vitara again when I do.
I drove 100000 km in a 2400 Grand Vitara 5 door and its constant 4x4 never any issues with hard wind at all, its on rails.
nice review , i have question regarding the comfort of driver set for long travel? and back pain
I think over the weekend I did 8 hours and I was very comfortable, the seats were lovely and supportive.
@@DamoDrives I Can only confirm. I bought this car over a month ago, and even during a long trip I felt better than in my previous Toyota Auris II with its standard seats.
My Vitara 1.4 Mild hibrid allgrip was a really good choice. I like its dynamics, many helpful features which also enhance safety and provide comfort for a driver.
This car is just a raised by 18cm, 4x4 hatchback with pretty good acceleration and I can't wait for winter to check its Allgrip capabilities in the mountains.
Excellent review!
Does it have electric foldable mirrors?
Does the sunroof open, or is it just panoramic?
Is there a spare wheel?
Does it definitely have Android Auto, or just Apple Car Play?
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes their time to reply to me 👍🤝
Electricly Foldable mirrors are available but you need to pay it extra, otherwise you can fold them manually.
Sunroof comes in elegance package i believe, and I saw in other reviews that you can open sunroof in various ways.
No spare wheel, only kit but you can order spare wheel for extra bucks.
It has android auto, mirror link and Apple car play .
Very fun car to drive, very positively surprised.just purchased mine 3 days ago.
Detailed review😎.
Coming to the car, again less thigh and leg support in the back🙄
Really pleased you enjoyed the review and yes a bit more room in the back for taller people but I supose for a family it works well
My advice: Take into consideration the SX4 S-Cross if you're looking for more space in the rear. The Vitara is shorter than a VW Golf, which I appreciate when I want to park my car in the city. :)
Thank you for the video! What are the important differences between the new Vitara Hybrid and the new S-Cross SX5 Hybrid?
To be honest they are very similar just the shape being the main difference. I am sure there are other changes but I am not sure what they might be
@@DamoDrives Thank you very much for your response!
Heated seats...the vitara doesn't come with them?? Unlike the ones in Australia and other countries which are hotter than the UK 🤔🤔🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Not in the model I had but not sure about the SZ5 model. There are often regional variations of the same cars which I am never sure why 😳
I have 2024 vitara gl+ package. Eastern Europe. It has heated\cooled seats option. Maybe varieties are dependent on region.
Please do a proper cost benefit on this mild hybrid system vs the 1.6. Obviously it costs more and adds complexity. Hybrids can be a disaster for the environment and economy, depending on driving patterns.
In the uk you can only have the mild hybrid option so we do not really get an option. I appreciate other places in the world get other options
This statement is completely false . Because it's a MILD hybrid system
@@sink7 The mild hybrid is still significantly heavier than the 1.6. the battery may also be expensive to replace or you might kill it if you don't drive sufficiently.
@@jamescaley9942 My friend. It is mild. Only 48v . The cost is about 200-300 euros. And these batteries can hold for some time . You get more mpg . Yearly tolls are 50 to 70% less. So what is the reason to get a 1600 ;;
Lithium ion batteries last 4 times longer , lighter more reliable and generally the technology is a lot more up to date than lead acid batteries.
Was enjoying review but turned off half way through because of too many adds. It is getting ridiculous how many adds are coming into TH-cam. I for one have had enough and if this keeps up i will not use it.
I can understand the frustration and will see if I can change the number but not sure I can. I need to try and cover my costs by having adverts as that is my only source of income on the channel 😳
What happens if you turn the knob to Lock (4WD) while driving in Auto (FWD) at 70mph?
Afraid i dont know the answer and i no longer have access to the car
when it will be launch in india
Wish I could tel you that , hope you enjoyed the video
It sounded a bit noisy with the rain, a bit like rain on sheet metal, but also could've been my earphones
How noisy was it?
It actually was not that bad , not to the refinement level of a BMW X5 😂 but still good
Ahh😂😂, alright thank you
panorama roof gives little bit more noise
@@miladinseratlic5984 ohh yeah, makes sense.
Thanks a lot hey👍👍
The older Vitara had an awful ride quality, with every pebble feeling like a rock. I heard a lot of "thumping" in the video. How is the ride comfort in this new model?
I thought it was ok, you do hear a bit of noise but I suppose for this price point there are some compromises. I have just filmed a video with the new Seat Ateca and this is a better all round car but you are paying more. I am not sure which vitara model you are referring to but the 2021 mode is pretty much the same as the 2019 model and it’s the hybrid engine which is the difference

Žao nam je, Google Translate nije mogao promijeniti komentar na engleski, ali hvala što ste pogledali video
Where is the spare wheel.
I think it’s an optional extra as with many cars. Speaking with a few dealers customers generally don’t care about a spare wheel and call the breakdown services but at least you have the option
Sorry I didnt hear past the part where you said your granddaughter .......what?? I am seriously loosing my ability to tell a person's age or you started very young! As I subscribe thought I would listen even though not a car I would be interested in any longer (Thank God no more skis, hockey bags, baseball and softball bags and on and on! No more Mom mobiles for me.) You, I thought maybe late 30s or early 40s!
Great you are enjoying the videos 😂, well age wise pretty near 41, daughter 20 and granddaughter 19 months. Might have to do a Q&A about My TH-cam life and normal life outside
@@DamoDrives An early starter, whew I can stop worrying I am loosing my sight. I had seen one of your videos filmed in your home and as a Mom I noticed the photograph of the child, but assumed it to be your daughter. You and Pete are my favorite UK car guys. It is nice to hear your opinions as they seem unbiased and relevant.
That’s so nice of you to say so, I try and be honest and down to earth and I hope my life experiences come across as well 😊,
You can't classify a compact anything as a family car, they're way too small.
Gas
Gas ?
The car you are presenting is broken. It has the steering wheel mounted on an incorrect side ;-))
Lol brilliant hope you enjoyed the review , which part of the world are you in
@@DamoDrives Hi, I'm from central Europe. Yes, I have enjoy your review. I also have Vitara (Allgrip version) but with naturally 1.6 VVT Allgrip. In winter conditions it is real tank :)
@@paweszkup647 is it so hard to say you're from Poland than from some Central Europe? 😝
I also drive Vitara 1.4T hybrid allgrip around Poland since July and I really enjoy it!
@@HMRLXXVII Precisely speaking the question was about part of the world, not about the country :-D
This is the shittiest car money can buy. I have already sued suzuki for a shitty vitara they sold me
What’s your story with this ?
@@DamoDrives where should I start my friend. The multimedia system is the Px30. Which means that it connects only to ios systems, for which I was never informed. The Bluetooth connects whenever it wants. The roof tapestry fell. I took it to suzuki to repair it and it fell again just 10km away from the workshop! The lane change prevention system doesn't work. The eye reads the lanes but it doesn't keep the car in the lane under any condition. Note the lane change prevention, not the lane change detection system. And they are not able to find what is wrong. Note that the car has 600 km! 600!
I Hate Japanese Car its to small and stupid room in second sheet, its always annoying 😒
What would you choose ?
@@DamoDrives , I will choose europe car, a british car range rover mate 😉
