VITARA WINS THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 100 CARS OF 2016 CLICK HERE TO READ THIS ARTICLE ONLINE WITH OUR ONLINE READER

The Vitara was matched up with competition from four different brands and sent on a number of different testing tasks. Not only did the Vitara take the prize, it also had the accomplishment of being the lowest price derivative out of the 5 models.

The Sunday Times comments: “Squint — hard — and you might mistake the new Vitara for a Range Rover Evoque. That’s because Suzuki’s crossover has morphed from a cheap and cheerful off-roader into a primped, well-equipped vehicle that’s top of its class. This has a lot to do with the low starting price.”

We have some fantastic news for the Suzuki Vitara, as it has been voted as the winner of the compact crossover category in The Sunday Times Top 100 cars of 2016.

Suzuki had a great evening at the 2 with the Vitara and Swift Sport both The Vitara was awarded a ‘Best Buy Sport won a ‘Best Buy’ accol

The performance flagship of the swift range won the ‘Best Buy Hot Hatch for less than £15,000’ after fighting off strong competition from its sector. The Swift Sport was first introduced in January 2012 and with a high standard specification that includes Satellite Navigation, DAB radio, USB connection and auto air conditioning. The vehicle remains considerably cheaper than its competitors at just £13,999 for three door and £14,499 for the five door model.

Jim Holder, What Car? Editor comments: “The Swift Sport is the epitome of the ‘junior’ hot hatch, and has had an enduring spot among our winners for many years. Ignore the relatively low 134bhp power output, because it’s actually the high-revving, grippy nature of this energetic little car that is its greatest achievement. This,

after all, is a car that you can wring 100 per cent from on plenty of British roads and in all sorts of depressing weather, and just have masses of fun without fearing for your life or your bank balance.

The engine’s high output is combined with a fantastic 44.1 combined mpg. It t is fitted with a six speed manual transmission as standard with a bespoke sporty exhaust system.

The Vitara on the other hand, won a Best Buy award for the second time. The vehicle at just £13,999, for a 1.6-litre SZ4 was comprehensively judged by the editorial team and not only its Small SUV class, also won the best overall model in the price bracket.

Jim Holder, Editorial Director of What Car? comments: “In SZ4 trim the Vitara doesn’t just sneak into this price category; it’s more than 8

£1000 beneath it. Even then it comes complete with niceties such as climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and a DAB radio.

“The 1.6 litre engine might not have a turbocharger but is smooth and more than capable in the Vitara. It’s also economical; our True MPG testers managed to get within 3.9mpg of the official figure. The Vitara drives well, too; the suspension is firm enough to resist roll without ever becoming uncomfortable and the controls inspire plenty of confidence. The five-speed gearbox is enjoyable to use, too. Practicality is a real strong point inside, with plenty of leg room front and back.”

Standard equipment for all models is comprehensive and also includes seven airbags, alloy wheels and front & rear electric windows.

Suzuki’s latest ALLGRIP four wheel drive technology is available as an option on SZ5 models.
