View dealThe Suzuki Vitara is a compact five-seat SUV with a 362-litre boot, a high driving position and, unusually for the class, the option of all-wheel drive. At 4.19 metres long it stays easy to park while still working as a family car.
It sits in the middle of Suzuki's range: bigger and more practical than the brand's small hatchbacks, simpler and less expensive-feeling than a premium crossover. Road testers tend to describe it as light, honest and better to drive than its looks suggest.
The choice is straightforward. One body style, one engine - a 1.4-litre turbo petrol with 107 bhp - and three trims: Motion, Ultra and Kuro.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Vitara is Suzuki's compact family SUV: five seats, five doors, 362 litres of boot space with the rear seats up and 642 litres with them folded, covered by a three-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. This is the fourth-generation car, on sale in this form since 2024.
The Vitara name has been on small, road-biased 4x4s since the late 1980s, which is longer than most of its rivals have existed. That history still shows in the car's character.
Reviewers consistently praise how light and willing it feels through corners, the upright view out and the fact that Suzuki has kept physical switches for the climate control rather than burying everything in a screen. The common criticism is the cabin, which testers find plainer and harder-feeling than several rivals.
Because the standard specification is generous and the same safety kit appears on every version, so you aren't forced up the range to get the equipment most drivers actually use day to day. Leasing also keeps you inside the warranty period.
Every Vitara comes with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam and LED headlights. Built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors are standard too, along with climate control, privacy glass, roof rails and keyless entry and start.
On the practical side, the Vitara tows up to 1,200 kg braked and 600 kg unbraked, has a 10.4-metre turning circle and carries a tyre repair kit rather than a spare. Servicing falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles.
There's only one engine, so the real decision is gearbox and driven wheels. Nothing in the range plugs in or needs charging, which keeps the choice simple if you've no off-street parking.
A four-cylinder turbo petrol with 107 bhp and 235 Nm, driving through a six-speed gearbox in manual or automatic form. Official economy runs from 47.8 to 53.2 mpg with CO2 of 119 to 137 g/km, and 0-62 mph takes between 10.1 and 12.2 seconds depending on the version.
Front-wheel drive suits most people, while all-wheel drive is worth having if you live somewhere rural, face steep or unsurfaced lanes, or tow regularly. Economy runs from 47.8 to 53.2 mpg with CO2 of 119 to 137 g/km, and 0-62 mph takes between 10.1 and 12.2 seconds depending on the version. Insurance falls between groups 17 and 20.

All three trims share the same engine and the same safety kit, so you're choosing comfort features, wheel finish and, with Kuro, all-wheel drive.
Motion rides on 17-inch painted alloy wheels with cloth upholstery, and starts at 107 bhp with front-wheel drive. It includes satellite navigation, a wireless smartphone link display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear parking camera, rear parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking.
The Motion is currently available from £297.00 a month.
Ultra swaps to 17-inch polished alloy wheels and Alcantara upholstery, and adds a double sliding panoramic sunroof, front suede door trim inserts, front parking sensors and power-folding door mirrors. It's the pick if you want the airier cabin and easier parking in tight spaces.
The Ultra is currently available from £323.90 a month. Against the Motion, that is currently £26.90/mo more expensive.
Kuro takes Ultra's equipment and Alcantara trim and gives it 17-inch alloy wheels in a black finish - a darker look rather than extra kit. Its entry version is all-wheel drive, which is the substantive difference for most buyers.
The Kuro is currently available from £464.63 a month. Against the Ultra, that is currently £140.72/mo more expensive.
If you're weighing the Vitara against other compact SUVs, the Nissan Qashqai, the CUPRA Formentor, the Volkswagen T-Roc and the larger Škoda Kodiaq come up most often. You'll find the full range on our Suzuki leasing page.
