Lots of beards. It has been a trend among the fashion-conscious gentlemen, since firstmoverne several years ago found out that a hair growth in the right places and gives character.

the Same philosophy applies today in the car plants, when, as the designers call it, ’the car’s face’, to styles or restyles. The radiator grille must be like to have a little edge, and it is now also the new and facelifted version of the Suzuki Vitara.

The high SUV has been given a more distinctive front and larger headlamps and rear. It is debatable whether it fits the car, but it is at least more personality. And then the banks having new hearts under the helmet.

Suzuki has retired the old and somewhat sluggish petrol engine of 1.6 liters, which provided 120 horsepower, and replaced it with the brand’s trecylindrede ‘Boosterjet’ turbobenzinmotor of 1.0 liters, which provides 112 bhp.

A gasoline engine with 140 hp is also available for several of the models, while the diesel, in turn, disappears completely out of the Vitara-the program.

We test the smallest petrol engine with the highest equipment level ‘Adventure’. It is a composition that runs up in good 253.000 euros.

the Car is also available with the trim levels are ‘Active’ and ‘Club’, where the latter is the cheapest. With the ‘Club’equipment and the same engine the starting price of 198.000 crowns, which very well matches klassekonkurrenterne, among other things, called the Peugeot 208, the Renault Captur, Seat Arona, the Citroën C3 Aircross and the Opel Crossland. the

Letkørt, high car
Suzuki Vitara has always been both letkørt and practical, while his cousin the S-Cross has been the japanese automobile manufacturer bidding on a slightly larger and more sporty brought model.

The establishment is holding in the latest year, where Suzukis designers have lifted the predecessor easy discountagtige interiors with a little too much hard plastic. Vitara has got a new dashboard in softer materials, making the car’s cabin a more inviting place to work.

From the middle equipment level comes with a display in four colors, while the ‘Adventure’-trimmed offers midterarmlæn with kardanboks and part-suede on the seats and dørsider.

Testbilens DAB Plus radio, Apple CarPlay and navigationsanlæg works well. The reaction times and the operation of the screen, as in the past we have praised, however, is overtaken by the super-fast screens from the VW group.

Good ground clearance, easy access and good view are still core competences of the Vitara. The model offers 375 litres in the boot, which is okay for the class, but not flashy.

Testbilens petrol engine of 112 hp, which has a torque of 170 Nm and performing at 18.9 km/l after the new NEDC2-norm, is lively and has nicely with the strength to move the car. The steering is, however, to the comfortable side, like the gear is something solved with a well long migrations. the

the Option for all-wheel drive
It pulls up in the total accounts that the Suzuki Vitara is available with all-wheel drive, and that it is even possible to buy a package with ‘sport’programme and settings to drive in the snow, the differential lock and downhill assist.

the Price of the cheapest jeep with the ’Active’equipment begins at 243.000 dkk, while you can get automatic transmission in the tohjulstrukne version from of 248,000 dollars.

the Car has got an updated package with an emergency brake, which recognizes pedestrians, active vognbaneassistent, skiltegenkendelse, warning for traffic in blind spots and cross traffic when reversing.

the Package is only standard on the top model and the four-wheel drive versions. The emergency brake is not available for the other versions, and it is not in order.

Suzuki Vitara is practical and informal bids in the class of high cars, which places itself in the upper part of the miniklassen. The new basismotor clothes, the car and provides a great value for the money. If you go higher up, pressed Vitara particular of the greater Nissan Qashqai.

A bid of a good buy is the mid-range model that has the small engine of 1.0 liters, ‘Active’equipment, and a price of 218.000 euros.
