The Susuki Vitara, also known as the Escudo, made its way into a very competitive market for subcompact SUVs thanks to qualities such as its handling, high equipment and reliability at a price quite in line with what it offers.
The options of this car increased when, in addition to the traditional gasoline ones, the micro hybrid and plug-in hybrid were added. But now it is the turn of the traditional hybrid.
Although it is exclusive to the Japanese market for now, the hybrid Vitara uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine as its base, which is capable of producing 97 horsepower and 97 Torque Foot-lbs that rests on an electric motor with the capacity to generate 30 horsepower and 44 foot-pounds of torque. together they would be 115 horsepower taking into account Note that the total power of a hybrid is not calculated with the sum of the maximum powers of both engines.
This SUV has a box six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, but optionally AWD traction and the All Grip driving mode selector can be added, with this it helps significantly to face complicated situations where a brand rival could get stuck due to lack of more traction.
According to the figures of the brand, it can offer an average consumption of 42 miles per gallon. At the moment everything seems to indicate that the brand only has plans to sell this model in Japan and Europe.
This generation of Susuki Vitara has been active since 707 and until now nothing has been heard of a possible generational change. Even so, experts believe that it should not take long for the success that it has meant so far.
The last time the model underwent major changes was for the version of 2019.
