Prices for new Suzuki Vitara announced

PRICES for Suzuki’s new Vitara – being introduced 25 years after the original went on sale – will start at £13,999 when it goes on sale in April.

The small off-roader will be offered with a 1.6 litre petrol or 1.6 litre turbodiesel engine, and the option of the Japanese manufacturer’s four-wheel-drive system, called ALLGRIP.

The range-topping versions cost around £22,000, but all models will have seven airbags, plus a Bluetooth-enabled DAB digital radio, fitted as standard.
