Suzuki Vitara
Suzuki has a long history of producing cheap, cheerful and quirky machinery, and Australia has been a happy hunting ground for the small Japanese company.A flood of new products in 2015 and 2016 brought back the Vitara name for the first time in 17 years – albeit in a different form to the one it had in the 1990s.
The five-seat, four-door Vitara small SUV comes in front-wheel drive and part-time all wheel drive versions, with a manual gearbox available at the lower end of the range.
A turbocharged version joined the ranks in 2016, in response to criticism that the stock 1.6-litre petrol engine was underdone.
A 2019 update brought minor cosmetic tweaks as well AppleCarPLay/Android Auto connectivity.
Current prices range from $26,990 for the base model (manual or auto), through $32,990 for the Vitara Turbo, to $37,990 for the Vitara Turbo Allgrip.
Current prices range from $26,490 to $37,490 for the Vitara GL+ and Vitara Turbo Allgrip.
This vehicle is also known as Suzuki Escudo.

While the Vitara's front seats may seem a bit wide and flat to begin with, they're amply supportive over an extended time in them, with a softness to their shape and texture that makes them quite cosy. No lumbar support for the driver is disappointing, though.Getting in and out of the rear seat is simple, aided by wide doors and lofty seating, again on flat but ultimately comfortable cushions and backrest, though they neither slide or recline as with some other small SUVs.
The backrests are split to fold 60/40 for added practicality and cargo-carrying permutations.
