The model
Read full Suzuki Vitara reviewThere are more upmarket small SUVs, but the Suzuki Vitara is one of the most spacious and is great value for money. Even the entry-level model gets plenty of kit, and its mild-hybrid technology helps to keep running costs down. However, similarly priced rivals are better to drive and feel more upmarket inside.

See full equipmentUpgrading to the Vitara SZ5 doesn’t add too much to the price tag but does add the sliding panoramic roof that limits head room. On top of that, you also get 17in alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, suede interior trim, electronically folding wing mirrors and built-in sat-nav.
The engine
See full engine specsOnly available with an automatic gearbox, and its slow responses are a pain on the open road. Its increased efficiency over the sweet little 1.4 isn’t worth the additional cost.
