Back in a modernized yet classic silhouette, Suzuki’s beloved sub-compact SUV offers unprecedented value not found across other competitors in the market.
“Ever since the new look of Vitara was launched in the Philippine market, we have seen enormous support for the model. One of the iconic models of the brand, this newest 4×4 vehicle provides individuality, stylish looks, and added confidence on the road. This car will definitely encourage people to drive and bring more fun into their lives,” said Suzuki Philippines Vice President and General Manager for Automobile Division, Mr. Keiichi Suzuki.
PRODUCT CONCEPT
The new Vitara AllGrip is an update to a Suzuki classic that was first launched in 1988. It integrates new concepts and today’s advanced technologies with Suzuki’s SUV lineage. Manufactured in Suzuki Hungary, the new Vitara is equipped with ALLGRIP technology, an infotainment system with a Clinometer function, and a range of personalization options that will give each Vitara AllGrip a unique personality.
EXPRESSIVE EXTERIOR
The new Vitara AllGrip has bold and sporty styling. Keeping with Vitara’s authentic design, it retains its clamshell bonnet in the front, while the rear is stout and stable with trapezoidal lines toward the ground and a minimum ground clearance of 185mm. From the side, it has smooth rooflines for better aerodynamics and a kicked-up character line that hints at the flared fenders. Some upgrades to the Vitara’s body include front and rear skid plates, a front lower bumper garnish, chrome and black grained accents on the body’s side, and an improved rear edge spoiler. This model also comes with energy-saving LED headlamps for low-beam, uniquely designed DRLs, and a vertical chrome grille for a more modernized look suitable for the current times.
