Hello all! Just to let you know that I got the colour wrong - it's Ice Greyish Blue Metallic with Cosmic Black Pearl Metallic Roof! Thanks to @Paul Finnan for the catch.
Great video and nice to see a video that doesn’t go into great detail about the torque and other stuff but gave an honest review from a female perspective. Any chance you can do a review on the Suzuki s cross in the very near future.
@@PlanetautoUK Hi thanks for your reply, yes please if you could post the link to it. I’ve just brought a brand new vitara and love it, but my better is looking at the s cross and she enjoyed your video because it was from a female perspective with none of the nonsense you normally get in review videos.
I have a 2015 Vitara SZ5 Allgrip and love it. Very practical. Reassuring to have the 4wd which is surprisingly good and better than those that kick in too late.
It a very nice looking car with nice colour combination 👌 excellent review you..😁👍 you review was better than a lot on TH-cam as you don't try to be the centre of attention..keep up the great work 👍 xx
@@PlanetautoUK Rumors says that they will have it replaced with the All-new Vitara model (with a new design) Made in India. I ain't sure if they will sell that Indian-made globally, or should it be exclusive for Asian markets for now.
Thanks for the video, it's cool to see a new perspective for a chance and to see how a normal person with some legs problems (like me) can use a car. Actually the easy access is one of the most important reason for me and my legs ;)
@@PlanetautoUK No.I am not saying the high and low beam. Normally, many car have the switch setting the head light range from 0,,1,2,3 .But I can't found it in the Vitara.
Think the colour is actually called icy blue grey or in Europe marble blue. The turquoise is completely different, it’s a deeper ‘shiny” blue. Know this because I got mine a couple of months ago. Like your presentation style and format 😀
Hi Paul, thanks for the heads up! It is indeed Ice Greyish Blue Metallic, and I've pinned a correction on the review. Really glad to hear that you like my presentation style - it's been quite a journey to this point, and I'm still refining it.
Mine is in darker blue (sparkly on suny day) with galactic gray roof. Limited edition. Its great color. Love the versatile option of colours. Fun little spacious car. Still finding out all specifications it has.
Hi Eleni - it's basically a manual gearbox that's been automated. It's pretty good 95% of the time, and I had no problems driving it. For that other 5% - say in Sport Mode - it's not quite as fluid as it needs time to decide which gear it wants to use. We've got a full review coming soon which has a driving section, going into more detail about the transmission. I will pin a link here when it's live. Best bet is to test drive one, and let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching! Annabelle
Steer clear of automated manuals!They are fitted to save money,but a traditional auto or dct are much better, although at low speed a dct can lunge forward/backwards,but otherwise more modern and efficient.
Thank you for your input @Restyle23 - unfortunately, my size has nothing to do with my eating habits - it's a side effect from the myriad of meds I am on for the injury that has left me permanently disabled. If I could move more, I would. Now, what are your thoughts on the Suzuki Vitara? I welcome your feedback :) Annabelle
Thanks for coming back - I really appreciate your feedback @Restyle23 - I was nervous doing the full review on my own, so I'm doubly glad that you liked it.
You should note if you are tall(6'+),don't go for sunroof,or you'll need to wear a cushion on your head! Touch screen still looks outdated (come on Suzuki,it's 2022!) Dash again looks old fashioned with conventional dials. Hard plastics in cabin (although hard wearing and easy to clean) Not keen on stick out rear light clusters. All in all not a bad buy for money and will be reliable,but still a bit niche and doesn't have a wow factor to compete with other main competitors!
Ben was fine at 6ft 3, it’s improved on the previous gen, bottom line, it didn’t need to change, the majority of its market wouldn’t even notice, hard plastics, infotainment as long as it’s responsive and has the desired functionality and many prefer analogue. As for design, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess what I’m trying to say is that most women just won’t care about the touchscreen if it works, and this one does, and if their husband will be be comfortable in it, which he was. Ben looks at a car in a completely different way to me - and all of my female friends - that’s why I see a need for reviewing cars differently. Hard plastics are not something that bothers me, but knowing I can adjust the seatbelt height makes all the difference in the world. Most men would get in and not even notice! *Annabelle
At least the infotainment system is easy to replace with aftermarket, unlike vehicles that have a screen floating above the dash and as many functions as possible routed through it.

High praise indeed! Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/yMofURv0RK4/w-d-xo.html
@@PlanetautoUK Hi thanks for the link, looks like you had a fun day indeed.
We did, and we learnt how capable one of these was, thank you.
Great video. I think it’s always good to hear a women’s opinion on a car, it helps us men when buying a car :p have a nice Sunday x
Very true Matt, it does - thank you Matt
Yes I like her videos,not trying to be centre of attention,unlike auto express reviewer (Nicola something!).
Thank you, Mister B! Your kind words have made my day. *A
I have a 2015 Vitara SZ5 Allgrip and love it. Very practical. Reassuring to have the 4wd which is surprisingly good and better than those that kick in too late.
Yes, AllGrip is excellent, we’ve even been off roading to thoroughly test it, essential in Winter too, thank you Grace
its not atlantic torquise pearl, i think its ice greyish blue
It is, as we commented last year 😀
What is the real mpg of full hybrid?

Thank you, David - so glad you liked it! Your kind words have made my day. 👍
I got the turbo. Great car. Thanks for the insight
We love the booster jet! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks @vois *A
I drive the same car here in the Philippines with a different engine. Very nice and reliable car. They have it phased out here recently though...
Sorry to hear that, AF. Do you think you will get the new model?
@@PlanetautoUK Rumors says that they will have it replaced with the All-new Vitara model (with a new design) Made in India. I ain't sure if they will sell that Indian-made globally, or should it be exclusive for Asian markets for now.
We’ve seen a new design quite recently on the internet, no word if it’ll release here though, thank you AF

You are very welcome, Marcello - so happy you liked it. The access is a huge issue, isn’t it? Annabelle
What's the difference between a man's perspective and a woman's perspective?
Good one
A lot
Exactly
Hi, I have the same model 2021.I can't see the Headlight range switch there, you know where is?Or not fitted in this car?
Hi Billy, you can change the range of the beam with the stalk, from low to high. Is that what you mean? *A
@@PlanetautoUK No.I am not saying the high and low beam. Normally, many car have the switch setting the head light range from 0,,1,2,3 .But I can't found it in the Vitara.
Do you mean for towing - beam height adjustment?

@@PlanetautoUK yes very much. Very nice car. So far I am impressed.
@marimil1469 great to hear, keep us posted on your adventures
great review girl
Thank you, Dave - glad you liked it. *A
What about the automated gearbox, I've heard it's of the robotised variety and it's got some issues.

Thank you, @TheMisterB2u
Can the stop start be turned off?
Good question, we’ll check - however the vast majority of models can be disabled easily.
Awesome great ❤ wee have one.
Thank you, Christine - really glad you enjoyed it. *A
Great review just bought one ❤
Thank you for your kind words, David. When do you take delivery? *A
Saturday, oh and it's the same colour combination as yours, oh it's my wife's 😂😂❤
I think that’s the best colour combo! Please let me know how she gets on path it - and you, when she lets you drive it (Lol)
@@PlanetautoUK I will 😍
Woman, eat less. You need to walk, not to drive :)

plenty of wow factor for me and many others, its all about personal opinion
Yes, we enjoyed our experience too
