Used Suzuki Vitara cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

The Suzuki Vitara is only available in one bodystyle and it’s a five-door hatchback SUV. If you need more space in a similar package, you can look at the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross or the even larger Suzuki Across.

The Vitara is a little less than 4.2 metres long. That puts it at a similar length as the Renault Captur and Kia Stonic, and slightly shorter than the Dacia Duster and Peugeot 2008.

Interior space is decent with a good amount of head and legroom courtesy of the Vitara’s taller SUV body. Five adults can fit inside but the three across the rear row will find their elbows bump somewhat. The boot is slightly smaller than some rivals in this class but the load area is still a useful square shape – although full hybrid versions do trade a little boot space for the on-board battery pack.

Vitaras are all petrol powered with many models also getting some form of hybrid assistance to keep fuel costs down. The 1.4-litre petrol typically offers the best blend of economy and performance.

The Suzuki Vitara is a good-value, rugged-feeling crossover that's available with hybrid tech and four-wheel drive. It offers good interior space, willing engines and plenty of the latest technology, and its petrol engines are economical enough for most drivers.

No, many modern Vitaras are front-wheel drive – but they'll still perform well in cold conditions if you stick a set of winter tyres on. Suzuki's 'AllGrip' moniker denotes four-wheel drive, or you can search for four-wheel-drive Vitaras for sale at Motorpoint by clicking the link.

The Suzuki Vitara typically scores well for reliability, which you'd hope for in a rugged SUV. What's more, Suzuki now offers a warranty extension when you have your Vitara serviced at a main dealer – it offers warranty cover for until the car is seven years old or has reached 100,000 miles. Alternatively, if you'd rather take your Vitara to a cheaper local garage, you can be covered by the Motorpoint Extended Warranty when you buy your car.

The Suzuki Vitara is quite light for an SUV – some versions weigh just over a tonne – and its towing capacity isn't enormous at 1,200kg. So, if you're considering the Vitara as a towcar, you'll be pulling a small caravan and have plenty of towing experience under your belt. Read our guide to the best cars for towing caravans here.
