The appearance of the sports Suzuki Vitara S 2017

The first external difference between the sports SUV Suzuki Vitara S 2017 from the usual Vitara version is the radiator grill. The split grille into five sections, with L-shaped chrome strips, gives the vehicle an aggressive look. In the very center, the logo of the Suzuki company was placed. Such a radiator grill was first introduced on the iV-4 concept, but now it has switched to a charged SUV Suzuki Vitara S. Due to changes in the grille, the front bumper was slightly tweaked.

The front optics of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S are different in their own way, based on LED technology, aimed at improving lighting and saving energy when the low beam is on. Edging lenses, front optics, red, this effect gives out soft light and at the same time creates the look of cold severity of the car. According to car enthusiasts, Suzuki engineers decided to repeat the "angel eyes" but in their own way, replacing the bright white color with red. This lens shape is only used for Suzuki Vitara S 2017.

Daytime running lights, also based on LEDs, were placed by the designers in the side of the bumper. The front bumper of the Suzuki Vitara S has barely changed shape compared to the regular Vitara model. Around the daytime running lights, the designers made C-shaped fangs, and closer to the middle, they placed LED fog lights. The central part of the bumper of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 is occupied by an additional engine air grille, based on a large silver insert. Regardless of the configuration, this part of the bumper can only be found in silver.

The hood of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 is no different from the regular model. From the edge of the radiator grill, two curved stripes stretch to the windshield, in the area of the front pillars you can find two additional airflows, many will say that this is for beauty, but in fact it is part of the aerodynamics of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 SUV.

The side of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 remains the same as in the regular Vitara. If desired, the buyer can paint the SUV in two colors, the top will usually be black, and the lower part is chosen to taste. A curved line stretches from the front arch, or rather its lower part to the rear feet, this decision of the designers benefited from the strict style of the Suzuki Vitara, as well as the charged S-series.

Side mirrors Suzuki Vitara S 2017 with electric drive, heating and repeater, body painted in body color. Another characteristic feature of the sports SUV Suzuki Vitara S is the stylish 17 "alloy wheels painted in black, with 215/55 tires. This is the style that was developed for the sporty SUV Suzuki.

Changes to the rear of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 included a spoiler on the upper part of the trunk lid. Compared to the conventional SUV model, it has become larger and more elongated, with an LED stop signal in the center. The rear window of the Suzuki Vitara S was left unchanged, as was everything below it. The rear optics, like the front optics, are made on the basis of LEDs and are perfectly visible in any weather.

The bottom of the rear bumper of the Suzuki Vitara S is decorated with a large plastic insert with extended fog lights and a central stop repeater.

In terms of size, the sporty Suzuki Vitara S remains the same as the regular model:

SUV length - 4175 mm;
width - 1775 mm;
the height of the novelty - 1610 mm;
wheelbase - 2500 mm;
front wheel track - 1535 mm;
rear wheel track - 1505 mm;
the clearance of the sports Vitara S is 185 mm.

For a full turn, the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 will need at least 5.2 meters, which is much less for such dimensions than in sedans of similar length.

The roof of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 primarily includes roof rails for fastening various cargo and different luggage racks. The sporty version of the Suzuki Vitara S does not include a panorama roof or sunroof, but the manufacturer wants to implement this option. In color, the roof of the new SUV can be black or painted in the main body color. Equipping the car with front-wheel drive, the curb weight will be 1160 kg, and with all-wheel drive, the weight will tighten by 1235 kg. The total weight of an SUV, regardless of technical characteristics, is 1730 kg. Trunk volume 375 liters, standard, and with folded second-row seats 1120 liters. The fuel tank of the Suzuki Vitara S has a volume of 47 liters. which is quite enough for a small SUV.

Suzuki Vitara S body color and roof color combination are available:

gray metallic (the roof can be painted black or body color);
silver (the cover is painted only in the body color);
blue metallic (the top of the Vitara S can be painted white, black or body color);
white (top is only white);
white mother-of-pearl (white mother-of-pearl of the roof);
light coffee (the top is painted only black);
black metallic (black or white roof color);
orange metallic (roof only white or black);
red (the top of the SUV is red or black).

The combination of body shades of the Suzuki Vitara S is not only attractive, but also emphasizes the style of the novelty. The manufacturer assures that in addition to the specified palette of shades, the buyer can choose his own for an additional fee.

As a conclusion about the appearance of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017, one can draw one, in comparison with the usual version of the SUV, the differences are minimal and do not at all resemble a sporty style. At a minimum, buyers expected lower ground clearance, a sporty suspension type and sporty, aerodynamic features on the body. All this, in addition to the new grille, the new Suzuki Vitara S did not find.

Interior of the new Suzuki Vitara S 2017

In contrast to the exterior of the body, the interior of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 has found more changes. Firstly, there is a huge number of red inserts around the entire perimeter, mostly on the front panel of the car, and red is also present in the illumination of any device and buttons. Secondly, the high-quality leather upholstery. The central part of the dashboard is distinguished by a large 7 "touchscreen display of the multimedia system. Engineers have envisioned intelligence that will understand the control of equipment and multimedia functions, thereby saving users from accidental pressing. The multimedia system Suzuki Vitara S also provides for synchronization with any smartphone and allows you to answer calls, listen to or read messages. The display will show all the information of the smartphone, thereby eliminating the need for the driver to rummage in the phone while driving.

For the best sound, the manufacturer installed 6 speakers around the perimeter of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017. Above the display were two air ducts and a mechanical clock between them, all three are round in shape, and a red edging is installed along the inner circle of each. There are several control panels located under the display of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017. The first is the emergency parking button and the front passenger airbag deactivation. Below there is a control panel for dual-zone climate control, with a clearly visible temperature and control.

Nearby there is a control panel for heated seats, buttons for various security systems and charging from USB and 12V. It is worth noting that the backlighting of these panels is made in red shades, like the inserts around the perimeter of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017.

Despite the modern design and style, the engineers preferred to keep the mechanical handbrake over the electromechanical one. Near the handbrake, you can find a suspension setup menu: sport, comfort or auto, the driver can also adjust the suspension for himself by selecting the necessary parameters.

What is the difference between the driver's seat of the sports Suzuki Vitara S 2017 and the usual version of the SUV. As with other devices, the dashboard is decorated with red accents, in particular the edging around the speedometer and tachometer. The on-board computer display is located in the center; information about the engine, fuel level and other parameters of the car will be displayed on it. There are also cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, which makes it easier for the driver to control.

The steering wheel of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 is covered in leather with red stitching, but still has three spokes. On the two side buttons are located multimedia sound control buttons, multimedia system menu and other functions. The Start / Stop button of the engine was located behind the wheel, which indicates the presence of a keyless access system to the car. It is worth noting that the steering wheel of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 can be adjusted in depth and height. For the automatic transmission, there are gearshift paddles behind the wheel, giving the SUV a truly sporty look.

To the left of the steering wheel, there are buttons for controlling security systems, an electronic corrector for front optics and a set for controlling the light of an SUV.

The interior trim of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 has acquired a luxurious look. The front seats, as already mentioned, are heated and electronically adjustable. The shape of the seats of a sports SUV, as expected, are made in a sporty style, with lateral support and a comfortable back. The designers decided to use high-quality suede and leather as the interior material. An integral part of the Suzuki Vitara S interior decor will be red stitching and stitching across all interior elements, which is what tells you that you are sitting in a sports SUV.

The standard will be seat upholstery in a combination of leather and suede or only leather. In color, the interior will be kept in dark shades, a combination of black suede and leather. The manufacturer does not limit the buyer to a certain color of the interior, but red stitching will be a prerequisite for the Suzuki Vitara S. Depending on your desire, the interior can be made in beige, white, red or any other color.

The rear seats are designed for seating three passengers and are no different in shape from the usual Suzuki Vitara. In terms of build quality, regardless of the selected configuration and version, the Suzuki Vitara S will delight you with comfort and reliability. Another distinctive feature of the sporty version in the interior will be the aluminum pedal pads.

Like the exterior, the interior of the Suzuki Vitara S does not differ in a particularly sporty style, and apart from the decor and additional inserts, there is nothing much different from the usual version of the SUV.

Specifications Suzuki Vitara S

I would like to say right away that the technical characteristics of the sports Suzuki Vitara S do not differ in a special variety and are rather scarce as for a sports version. The new Suzuki Vitara S is equipped with only one engine option - a turbocharged gasoline Boosterjet with a volume of 1.4 liters. Thanks to the turbine, such a unit will be able to produce 140 hp, and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. The unit accommodates 4 cylinders and 16 valves.

The engine is paired with an automatic 6-speed gearbox and no mechanics. According to the type of drive, the sporty SUV is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (ALL GRIP). The set of Suzuki Vitara S 2017 with front-wheel drive will be able to accelerate to a hundred in 9.5 seconds, and a top speed of 200 km / h. Fuel consumption in the city - 7.6 liters. gasoline, out of town - 4.9 liters, and the mixed cycle will require 5.9 liters. Emissions of harmful CO2 with a 2WD drive - 138 g / km.

The 2017 Suzuki Vitara S with 4WD all-wheel drive is slightly slower and more voracious. Acceleration to 100 km / h will take 10.2 seconds, but the maximum speed is still 200 km / h. In terms of fuel, the city will need 7.9 l / 100 km, outside the city - 5.3 liters, and the mixed cycle - 6.3 liters. CO2 emissions of 145 g / km are 7 g more than the front-wheel drive Suzuki Vitara S. In terms of standard, both equipment options meet Euro5.

The suspension of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 is no different from the usual version. A McPherson is installed in front, with a rack and a spring, and behind a torsion bar with a spring. Many fans expected more power and better suspension, but the addition of the S prefix only changed the design.

Safety systems Suzuki Vitara S 2017

The safety system of the sports Suzuki Vitara S 2017 will delight the buyer. The standard SUV is equipped with front and side airbags, curtain airbags. An additional cushion is also installed for the driver in the knee area. The airbag can be deactivated for the front passenger.

Among the active safety systems, the manufacturer will complete the Suzuki Vitara S: anti-lock braking system ABS and EBD, ESP stability control system, HDC start assist system and BAS electronic brake booster.

A standard immobilizer, an alarm system with keyless access to the car, parking sensors and a rear-view camera will also be installed. On a pleasant note, adaptive cruise control, light and rain sensors.

As for an SUV of this class, the set of safety systems of the Suzuki Vitara S is not bad, but in a measure of a sporty option, more airbags and modern air belts could be added.

Options and price of Suzuki Vitara S 2017

As already mentioned, the company will offer one version of the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 with two different drive types. A complete set with front-wheel drive will cost from 1,549,000 rubles, the all-wheel drive version of the Suzuki Vitara S 2017 starts at 1,649,000 rubles.

Whether other configuration options will be offered in relation to the engine and gearbox, the manufacturer does not specify, but clearly there is not enough power, as for a sports version. The conclusion about the sporty Suzuki Vitara S 2017 can be made simple, there is almost nothing sporty. The difference from the usual version in most of the design and wisdom of the interior, otherwise it is the same regular Suzuki Vitara.
