PERFORMANCE
4x4 Freedom
When it comes to performance, the Vitara gives you multiple ways to enjoy all-terrain freedom.
ALLGRIP SELECT gives you a choice of four 4WD driving modes, while the SHVS mild hybrid powertrain delivers fuel efficiency along with the responsive acceleration you’ll value.
48V SHVS mild hybrid
The light, compact, SHVS mild hybrid system employs an integrated starter generator (ISG) and a high-efficiency 48V lithium-ion power pack with excellent charging and power supply performance. In addition to ensuring quick and quiet engine restarts, the ISG provides electric motor assist for fuel-efficient acceleration and generates electricity to charge the batteries when decelerating.
1.4 BOOSTERJET engine
The 1.4-litre BOOSTERJET engine features direct fuel injection for high fuel efficiency and power output, and is equipped with an intercooled turbocharger to boost low-end torque.
ALLGRIP SELECT
ALLGRIP SELECT lets you choose from Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock modes via a simple push-and-turn dial on the centre console. And for easy confirmation, the selected mode is shown on the multi-information colour display in the centre of the meter cluster.
Auto mode
Prioritises fuel economy in typical driving conditions, only switching to 4WD when slippage is detected.
Sport mode
Increases cornering performance by allocating additional torque to the rear wheels. Sport mode also optimises accelerator-torque characteristics to increase engine response.
Snow mode
Provides excellent stability and enhanced traction, especially during acceleration, on snow, unpaved or other slippery surfaces.
Lock mode
This mode delivers maximum torque to the rear wheels to get you out of sticky situations such as deep snow, mud or sand. Automatically switches to Snow mode at 60 km/h.
SAFETY
Advanced Features
The Vitara is equipped with a wide range of advanced safety and assistive driving technologies to help protect you and your passengers when you’re on the road. While there is no substitute for safe, responsible driving, these advanced technologies work together to help you stay focused and in control until you reach your destination.
Suzuki Safety Support
Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II)
Millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera are employed to detect vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles (daytime only) and pedestrians directly or diagonally ahead of the vehicle. If a collision seems possible, audio and visual warnings are issued to alert the driver. If the driver brakes with insufficient force, brake assist automatically engages to help slow the vehicle. And if the probability of a collision increases, the system automatically applies brake force to help reduce impact force and mitigate damage.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
ACC helps reduce driver fatigue on long trips. It is also linked to the traffic sign recognition system to help drivers comply with posted speed limits. The ACC is activated by single operation when the switch on the steering wheel is pressed. In traffic the system uses millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead, and will accelerate or decelerate the vehicle as needed to maintain a set distance. If the road ahead is clear, it will maintain the speed the vehicle was traveling when the switch was pressed. (On AGS-equipped models, ACC disengages when the vehicle comes to a stop. On MT-equipped models, ACC disengages at speeds of approximately 30 km/h or less.)
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
When adaptive cruise control is activated, LKA helps the driver maintain the vehicle’s position in the centre of the lane. When lane markings are unclear, the system utilises information detected from the preceding vehicle’s driving trajectory.
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
When driving, LDP detects the left and right lane demarcation lines and predicts the vehicle’s path. If the vehicle begins to drift from the lane due to driver inattention, the system alerts the driver by sounding an audio alert or vibrating the steering wheel. If the system determines there is still a high probability of lane departure, it provides steering assistance to help the driver return to the centre of the lane.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
This system utilises the monocular camera to detect traffic signs such as speed limit signs and no passing signs, and alerts the driver by displaying icons of the signs on the multi-information display. When the speed limiter is engaged, vehicle speed is regulated to help drivers stay within the posted limit.
Driver Monitoring System (DMS)
A camera built into the instrument panel monitors the driver’s eyes and face. If the system detects that the driver is drowsy, falling asleep, or looking away from the road, it sounds a warning alarm and displays an alert message on the information display.
High beam assist
When the headlamps are on high beam and there are oncoming or preceding vehicles in front, or if the car is being driven in a well-lit area, the headlamps automatically switch to low beam. The headlamps automatically return to high beam when there are no oncoming or preceding vehicles in front of the car, or when the surrounding area is poorly lit. (Active only at speeds above 40 km/h.)
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
The blind spot monitor uses millimetre-wave radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles located in or approaching the rear blind spots on either side of the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, a warning icon appears in the door mirror. If the driver activates the turn signal to change lanes, the icon flashes and an audio warning sounds.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
When backing out of a parking space, for example, this function helps you avoid collisions. If the sensors detect a vehicle approaching the rear blind spots, a warning sound, a flashing side-mirror indicator and a notification in the multi-information display alert you to the situation.
