An advanced multi-information 4.2-inch colour LCD display occupies the centre of the meter cluster to inform the dri – ver with accurate and reliable data on vehicle behaviour and operation. The dynamic display visually illustrates a wide range of features such as ALLGRIP drive modes, G-force, engine output and torque, and ISG use, among others. With a wide variety of options to choose from, your ride is never going to be short of fun again.

The audio incorporates a touch-panel display that is as intuitive as a smartphone. Connect your smartphone via Bluetooth® or USB cable to use smartphone applications through the display, which is also equipped with radio, rear-view camera, and navigation function.

Apple CarPlay lets you use your iPhone to make calls, access your music, send and receive messages, and get directions all with your voice through Siri or by tapping on the audio display.

Android Auto™ extends the Android platform into the car in a way that’s purpose-built for driving. It is designed to minimise distraction so you can enjoy driving with Google services like Google Maps and Google Play Music. Get the Android Auto app on the Google Play Store*.

MirrorLink lets various applications on your smartphone appear on the vehicle’s touchscreen display, allowing you to access your smartphone’s features

The user-friendly multifunctional steering wheel gives the driver full control. Within easy reach, radio and Bluetooth® connectivity for smartphone can be controlled. The drive support function for adaptive cruise control is also integrated to ensure maximum comfort and security.

Easily adjustable settings ensure that you can always get the interior temperature right.

An easy-to-use, fully retractable sunroof to bring in light and fresh air from the outside

The newly designed LED headlamps with blue LED strip give the Vitara an advanced, futuristic look

The uniquely designed DRL’s (Daytime Running Lamps) feature vertically placed LED’s. Fog lamps that are essential for good road visibility in poor weather conditions are also provided.

Driving performance is complemented by protective safety features, including standard SRS airbags for the driver and front passenger, front SRS side air bags that reduce impact to the chest in side collissions, SRS curtain airbags that reduce impact to the head, and SRS Knee airbags for the driver that reduce impact to the lower legs.

The new 1.4 BOOSTERJET direct-injection turbo engine enhances the torqueful driving of the Vitara. The intercooled turbocharger forces pressurised air into the cylinders and enables the engine to maximise torque in the low engine rev range, even at 2,000rpm. The direct injection system further enhances fuel efficiency by optimising control of the amount, timing and pressure of injected fuel in direct fuel injection. In addition, fuel efficiency is also raised by electric intake variable valve timing (VVT), cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and higher compression ratio.

The new 48V SHVS mild hybrid system consists of a 48V ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) with electric motor function, 48V Lithium-ion battery and 48-12V DC/DC converter. With a greater supply voltage than conventional 12V, it increases both regenerated energy from deceleration and the amount of electric motor assist to suppress fuel consumption and enhance driving performance. While prioritising fuel efficiency in normal driving situations, the system adds electric motor torque to the engine torque by using either of two functions (torque-fill control or torque boost) when it judges that the driver is requesting quick acceleration. Moreover, the electric motor idles the engine and eliminates fuel use during deceleration to further enhance fuel efficiency.*
