About the Suzuki Vitara LY
The fourth-generation Suzuki Vitara (LY) marked a shift from rugged off-roader to a more road-focused subcompact crossover, sharing its platform with the SX4 S-Cross. The 1.4-litre Boosterjet engine is the standout choice in the range, offering significantly more mid-range torque and urgency than the older naturally aspirated units. Despite its softer styling, it remains one of the lightest cars in its class, which benefits both fuel economy and handling agility. The SZ-T trim serves as the mid-range volume seller, equipped with essential modern tech like smartphone mirroring and a reversing camera.
