This about engine 1,4 103kW , now only 95kW and 75kW Are possible,

@@vfdiesel333 yes, but 95 mild hybrid is very similar, as performances. 75kw not available here in Italy.

This is after they made the car heavier with the hybrid system, and reduced the engine power a little by choosing a slightly smaller turbo for this generation, I personally choose the vitara facelift non-hybrid, having much better performance, and the tax, at least in my country, is not such a big difference. Anyway suzuki makes some extraordinary cars according to the value for money!

Now only mild hybrid 95kW , and it is no so fast, and hybrid 75kW(no comments)

Nead only 4th gear for max sped

@@PREDATOR-ALIon the hybrid 129hp. On the S 140hp max speed is reached in 5th gear

Exactly, i drove one last week with the same engine, up to those speeds its really fine.

With boosterjet 140hp 210km/h

yep, i got her for half year, and this is true, second and 3th gear is wow for this tiny car, but first is to to to short..

la 1000, la 1400 all grip full optional benzina 30m euro. Ho avuto anche la duster 4 wd, pur essendo funzionale, non può esserle paragonata.

My Swift Hybrid 2021 with 1.2l engine has even better combination . So light and easy to drive. Also directly imported from Japan which speaks volumes about the quality !

Not in Germany yet, but they are thinking about it (the driver want to show, what is possible). 🤭 But I'm pretty sure, we will face soon 130km/h as a limit, so I don't care anymore. But the interesting part for me, was the wind sound beyond 150km/h> which somebody noted in another video and you could hear that 1:1 (but with expected 130km/h, another "don't care").

@@uwepietsch3877 As the Vitara 1.6 petrol engine owner for the last five years I can assure you this wind noice, as much as it's noticeable, isn't big of a issue when driving unless (probably) if you've accustimed to much, much more expensive cars with better noise isolation. Considering extremely fair price and all that's in this car wind noise is very far from being a deal braker! But Vitara is extremely fun, easy to drive and comfortable car that's packed with huge load of stuff even at the lowest trim levels and all that in very reasonable price! And Vitara is even great and very comfortable for the long distance trips as I've done a number of times when driving from eastern Croatia to Ingolstadt in Germany! Greetings from Croatia!

@@fapmashina1 Thx for this information Shane, what is the average speed you (can) drive in the UK (correct)? I heard in a YT test drive video (Vitara 1,4L 130PS) it's ok till130km/h?!?

@@uwepietsch3877 You've got me wrong. I'm not from the UK but Croatia. In our country maximum allowed driving speed is limited to 130 km/h at highways and 110 km/h at expressways although somewhat higher speeds (140-150 km/h) than these are mostly tolerated at highways excluding section with lower allowed speeds where there's max. speed limit to 60-80 km/h (roads under reconstruction, some tunnels, bridges...).

@@fapmashina1 thank you, we go now for SKODA KAMIQ, with all his advantages compared to a Vitara (no parking sensor and more passenger space e.g.) and even close to very low noise - amazing difference. 😎

Because I don't buy Vitara for the Motorway i will always take the hybrid version for the agility and power up to 2000rpm

Mine has some manual paddles, so it doesn’t make you miss manual shifting that much

sx4 s-cross with hybrid is very good too.

without

After 2000 km is better, dont rev over 4000 rpm at brand new car. Yes it feel safe at highspeed on german road surface and most of European country, some countries has different road surface quality, some countries is dangerous for high speed due road surface etc

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Thank you for your kind answer. Already drove it to 5000RPM in 2nd and 3rd just 2 attempts . But if you say that's a bad practice I will wait at least till 1500km to rev it over 4000.👍

Hello, i have the same car. Interior plastic is ok in this price category but nothing special. Everything is a bit cheeper than in other comparable cars but here you can have an affordable 4x4 system. Extreme noise is also true mainly with the sunroof but this gives you an excellent 1990' feeling. I like it.

@@miklosdruskoczi7687 The lighter the plastic - the more fuel economy - lighter car and easier to drive. Doesnt rattle much but you always can turn up the radio volume 😋

And again all European Swifts made in Hungary - until before Covid.. Now made and ASSEMBLED in Japan !

@@cocosloan3748 that is what I sad for Swift. But this topic is about Vitara.

bin nur der 129 PS Hybrid version gefahren, mit 140 PS leider nicht, aber ich fand wirklich gute beschleunigung bei 129 PS mit hybrid

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Ja das finde ich auch. Bin gestern den 140ps gefahren, wenn ich jetzt die Erfahrung mit deinem Video vergleiche war deiner glaub ich schon schneller weg vom Fleck

I own it. It's one of its disadvantages.

It is so noisy I sold it. You can't keep 130km/h cruise without causing extreme fatigue after few hours. It is worse than a VW UP.

Little bit of gas smell in oil is normal & completely fine for a car with turbo. If you do drive mostly in town i recommend taking a few trips every month with ~50km to let the build up gas evaporate out of the hot oil (since Motor oil gets above 90*C which is higher than the evaporation point of Standard gasoline). I drive over 50km every day in this car and the oil still smells "gassy" so this is probably normal

very noisy...😔

@@alexxandreipopescu208 you think the s-cross will be better at this point?

@@eleftheriosanagnostopoulos1399 nop, try something else ...

@@alexxandreipopescu208 what would you suggest for these criteria: around 30k€, Japanese car, not Toyota cause I think e-CVT is loud as well, no-turbo engine with >= 130 hp and manual transmission.

@@Robert--cm2nf Great answer!

I'm extremely satisfied driver of Suzuki Vitara 1.6 petrol engine for the last five years and I don't find wind noise that much of a problem! Yes, it's noticeable but very far from being a huge problem or something overly annoying esp. if you're not driving much faster than 150 kmh although I don't have problem driving this great car even at 170. I guess this depends on personal taste or if someone's accustomed driving higer end but also much more expensive cars! And Suzuki Vitara is very hard to beat since this is very affordable, cost efficient car that has huge number of stuff even at the lowest trimm levels, usually much more generous than all others!

In april we get sx4, but new 1.4 129 hp hybrid

It’s the same engine in the different case. No difference at all. Maybe less noise, because S-Cross is more aerodynamical than Vitara. But speed and acceleration are almost identical.

@@michalkysel4351 Do you mean that it is still the same 140 hp ?

well car is light .. due to no sound insulation ...thats why is also unbearably noisy

@@tirgod100 I do not feel excessive noise, even in 180 kph. For me, very good car with very good equipment, driving characteristics and very reasonable price. Much better than Dacia Duster, Arkana, Captur, MG ZS or Ssangyong Korando.

In germany still only manual

from us in Italy it is available from the end of 2020 also with automatic transmission

@@arwite Same in Poland

I have ordered it and awaiting for it . I will receive my automatic 1,4 hybrid in the next 10-15 days here in Greece.

In Poland now yes

Which country? 😊

Hi...hi... in Viet Nam

That's y we do not get the boosterjet engines here in SEA. 🤣🥲

In Greece (Under3world Escobaria) it is even worse. With speed limits from 80 to 120 km/h on the national highway, but every time you enter the highway you pay 2.80 euros each time, even if you take the next exit. The roads cost 3 to 4 times more to build than German autobahns, they are roads built with public taxes. Now they have been gifted to 4 families along with German companies and collect tolls. Just recently they gave 1.2 billion euros from public taxes to build a tunnel. Then they will give her away too. Your are very lucky in Vietnam.

​@@NikolaosLakedaemonSeems like a story from all corrupt countries...In India it's the same. Public funding , Private Profits

Thats just the fun you never no when you die ............

@@Robert--cm2nf So, it's fun to kill other people in an accident because of your carelessness?

Agree.

Since 2020 with 129 hp in europe before 2020 140hp

You are so right. Why the hell 129. It was just fine with 140.

@@mariusm1425 for the new European regulations they had to lower the horses

@@mariusm1425 Exhaust emissions regulations.

@@mariusm1425 it's actually 143 hp, but they declare 129. The electro motor adds 14 hp

Buy then KIA with 3 cylinder and see what you get... Crap ...

that is this noise what make this car so great. like cars in the 80s or 90s. i am not joking. this is still a real car in this sense.

@@miklosdruskoczi7687 Agreed on that!

As someone who's actually driving Vitara 1.6 petrol engine version of this car for the last five years, I can assure you that wind noise isn't big issue at all unless you're constantly pushing this car to it's limits! I'm very satisfied with Suzuki Vitara! It is fun to drive, very easy going, comfortable even at long trips it behaves great at all roads and it has so much stuff regardless of it's affordable price! Now I'm looking to buy this newer Vitara 1.4 hybrid since it has improved even more and has a lot of new technical stuff!

Put earplugs in your ears so you don’t hear the noise

@@tahirqureshi8023 Oh yeah? Better than to buy KIA with 3 cylinder engine . This is Japan made DOHC engine with VVT 16 Valve. Reliable engine that has best economy ! Plastic is because easy to clean and light and it rattles only if loose - but even if it rattles I'll put the radio volume up 💪😋 I love my Zuki 😍

В трамвае не страшно

Что ты хотел от тачки по цене 27k$?

There's alternative for You, Niva or kalina.

As someone who's driving very similar (2015. model) Vitara 1.6 petrol engine for the last five years I can assure you wind noise isn't big of a issue in this car unless you're accustomed to much more expensive cars! Vitara is very fun, easy to ride and comfortable car that is usually packed with huge number of stuff even at the lowest trimm levels and all that for extremely fair price!

@@HuiloPu Exactly so! Vitara is very affordable car that isn't luxurious vehicle but it offers great amount of stuff even at the lowest trimm levels, usually much more generous than all others at these price points! And as the Vitara 1.6 petrol engine driver for the last five years I can say I'm very satisfied how easy driving, fun and comfortable this car is! Also, had no issues with this car whatsoever! Now i'm looking forward to replace it with this newest Suzuki Vitara 1.4 hybrid that has even more new great stuff, or even amazing new Suzuki S-Cross!

Much better than American trash
