Suzuki is perhaps one of the last companies, which effectively reinforces the idea of reducing the number of cubic centimeters in engines with simultaneous increase in capacity. Some time ago, it introduced the latest model with a gasoline engine Vitara 1,4 liter turbo-charged with more power, чем у аспирированного бензинового блока 1.6 VVT.
Suzuki introduced the joint unit operation 1.4 Boosterjet with direct fuel injection and turbocharging for Vitara models. Soon, the same engine under the hood will be announced in Frankfurt Baleno. Thus the company has shown, that she can not live without this engine to compete effectively in the market. Moreover, According to Suzuki's answer to customer expectations, and not to the demands of exhaust emissions standards, which engine 1.6 VVT matches.
Aspirated conventional petrol engine actually consumes a small amount of fuel, as you can see reading the numerous tests of the car. However, customers including automotive journalists define it as “sleepy”. They want more power? You are welcome, thus appeared Vitara S.
Suzuki certainly could not install the new product engine 2.4 VVT used in withdrawn already from the range Suzuki Grand Vitara, so it was decided to use the latest creation engineers called Boosterjet. The engine develops power 140 L. with. and solid 220 Lb.-ft., which makes very easy Vitara in a truly dynamic crossover. It's more on the 20 LS and up 64 nm, than aspirated engine.
Fuel consumption amount 6,3 l / 100 km in the city and 5,4 L / 100 km in combined cycle. so, will be almost exactly as in the case of a weak version of the Vitara models 1.6 VVT with front-wheel drive and manual transmission, and these values can be considered almost true, because Suzuki is one of the few manufacturers, which indicates in its catalog consumption is very close to reality.
Suzuki Vitara S is driven by a new drive insignificantly different from classical Vitara. The difference is a change in the gearbox, reminiscent of that which is in the conceptual model iV-4. Inside, too, there will be a few changes to distinguish this version. Никто не знает, when Vitara S will appear on the market, probably it should happen "soon", but experts believe that such a decision would be fatal, as a consequence of the company's sales will go up, and reports about the already very successful model will be quickly on the Internet.
The new engine will be paired only with all-wheel drive All-Grip 4×4. Prices are much higher, than the model with the base petrol engine 1.6 VVT, and it is also due to the fact, that Vitara S will be available in standard, which corresponds to the present standard XLED.
Suzuki Vitara is currently the best-selling Japanese brand car. In August, the European market has taken 22 in the ranking of best-selling cars. Thereby Vitara almost caught up with Mitsubishi ASX and is close to Volkswagen Tiguan and Renault Captura.
