I’ve had a look at the MG5, as really want an EV estate, but it’s just too small for our needs. Needs more boot space. May look at a used e308 but both of them need more useable range. Only other alternative on the horizon is the MG4 estate (if it ever arrives!).

The market for an estate car is still there, isn’t it! It’s the reason why Volvo are bringing out a new one.

Fingers crossed it fits your needs. Thanks, @ISuperTed 👍

I expressed concern to Hyundai head office before dropping it off about the dealers ability to fix it and they told me that they were a blue star highly trained EV dealer. Shame because the car seemed pretty good but if it’s a month plus whenever something goes wrong why would you buy it?

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.

@@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.
