What do you think of the Suzuki Full Hybrid Vitara? Can you see yourself in one? Annabelle

It’s great seeing the latest vitara. I really loved the original, in bright red with wide arches. I like that it has some of the styling design. It’s good to see that Suzuki are still improving their range. Cheers

Yes, this just builds on the previous gen and all the extras especially heritage tweaks really add to it, thank you Matt

I do like the Vitara it's got a nice look and the Allgrip option gives some flexibility to the car I am coming up on the time 4 a car change and the Vitara is one for consideration as I have already test driven one. Looking to go for a fuel efficient vehicle next either hybrid or electric drive train only thing that's worrying is cost on AP is climbing a lot atm which can mean given current cost of living issues that vehicles like this might be pushed out my price bracket. Hopefully fingers crossed things don't get worse.

Well Annabelle I'm not sure i can see myself in the Suzuki but it's certainly a decent looking car. Like the colour & 2 tone👌Ben certainly knows his cars & goes very in depth on everything which provides lots of information especially for someone who is in the market for a particular model. The roads around Silverdale are pretty much like the roads in general..but the way the finances situation is going don't expect much improvement any time soon 🤔 except review as always 👍😁

Good review. From my test drive, the car is very much a no nonsense car and its good to see that Vitara have built this themselves rather than use Toyota. Main issue I found is the gearbox. AMT's are obsolete and not many car manufacturers use them anymore due to its weaknesses. It is far too jerky and slow clunky gear changes which is why Dual clutch transmissions were introduced which overcomes the issues of AMTs. I have no idea why Suzuki would use technology that no one wants anymore (other than cost reasons) and I suspect Suzuki won't sell many of these however thats not to say people shouldn't buy them. I believe this car is aimed at a particular segment group one where patience is required and believe in the brands values. I don't think its suited to regular town city driving, rather more long distance dual carriage / motorway where you are just cruising along but for me it just doesn't quite cut it where other hybrids offer so much more for the money. In all fairness it is quite under powdered to be considered a hybrid.

The thing is Suzuki know this and that’s why they offer manual too, this box does what it says on the tin in both S Cross and this - it’s the same with using Jimny engine with a CVT - the thing is it’s economical and works, and generally Suzuki owners are happy with that and it keeps prices down. PS drive the new Swift with a manual 😀 Thank you GTZ

@@PlanetautoUK According to my local Suzuki dealer in East London, they have struggled to sell the Vitara Hybrid since its launch. I would choose CVT over the AMT but neither would be my main preferred choice as torque convertor gearboxes which Suzuki used in the previous models were far more superior and better suited to this vehicle especially as its an off roader as well. Moving forward its unlikely Suzuki will use the AMT, next year the Suzuki evx should be launched, Suzuki's first EV car. Can't wait to see this. Hopefully you will be able to review it if you manage to get hold of one :)

@gtz101 ah yes, the AMT is a strange how do you do, it’s alright with leisurely driving anything remotely non and it struggles to decide what to do. Their manuals are great and CVT better than AMT in my experience - the new ev looks great, we’ll have a chat with Suzuki and see, we enjoyed attending the new Swift launch, manual 😀 thank you gtz

@jdmguy44 Жыл бұрын

How did you find the gearbox? Was it smooth enough. Was thinking about test driving the S Cross with the same drivetrain. Thing is automated manuals never had a great reputation.

@PlanetautoUK Жыл бұрын

It does what it says on the tin. If you are driving it for economy, it handles it well, but under load it does become a wee bit indecisive to be honest. We've experienced this in the new S-Cross as well. In time it should be ironed out. Best best - drive it for yourself and see what you think of it. We did still manage to get a few good launches, but it does suit economy driving more. *A

Good review (as normal).Looked at Suzuki to replace my car but- 1. I'm tall and with sunroof not enough headroom unless you lower seat,but i prefer to sit high up! 2.Very dated inside with dials 3.Dont like rear lights which stick out pround of body. Have you tested a Dacia Duster auto yet or MG HS 1.5 auto ,as im looking at these now?

@PlanetautoUK Жыл бұрын

Yes, the sunroof can be a challenge, I always sit as low as possible, meaning it barely affects me, I’ve never thought these are outdated inside, however I love classic analogue dials. The rear lenses is a trend that will likely change - we have driven 2 HS models one a PHEV and a Duster, power train setups I can’t quite remember, if you’d like the links just shout, thank you Mister B for the kind words

Had my across ultra almost a year one thing I don't like is the price of the tax for a so called hybrid considering my son has a old 2litre diesel and it's only 30 pound this is 3times as much but still really good car the across ultra has everything you could wish for

Could have explained the manual automatic gearbox a bit more, is it driven just like an automatic?

@PlanetautoUK Жыл бұрын

It’s an automated manual, it’s works in conjunction with the ECUand as long as you’re not going for fast driving it’s not bad, apart from that it’s pretty self explanatory unlike CVT.
