Suzuki Vitara. S. Price: not defined. On sale: since February 2016
For analog clock, you can order a dial with hieroglyphs
Literally a few days before the test Vitara S I drove on the usual "Vitar" and was pleasantly surprised. Against the background of frankly boring Suzuki SX4 (it, by the way, while they were removed from sale - dealers are waiting for the updated version, which will appear in the fall) this crossover and looks prettier, and goes better. But here is the price ... for such a "baby", and even with atmospheric 1.6, almost one and a half million in the "Top" is a clear bust. Well, the version with the newest 1.4-liter turbo boosterjet will be even more expensive. What does this mean, I think, is understandable? You can not even withdraw to our market - so I reflected in front of the trip ...
The media system supports Apple CarPlay interface
However, the test was invited, the car is interesting, you need to go. Moreover, they are not invited to anywhere, but to the capital of the Basque Country, Bilbao. In this part of Spain, I have never been, and if I flew here with blindfolded eyes, I would probably not believe that it was in general Spain. After a short transplant in warm and sunny Madrid, we landed in the rain and cold. But between "two capitals" to fly less than an hour! The difference in vegetation is the same colossal, as in the weather: Palms are almost no, but pine and birch are almost more often than in Russia.
Vitara - the only crossover in its class, which has a LED Middle Light
Machines waited us right at the airport. Ba, yes, not only the motor changed! The new "toothy" grille of the radiator, typed from chrome-plated boomerangs, looks much cooler and more aggressive than the usual Vitara, and the LED (!) The headlights of the Middle Light, "the" made "red border, make the car more evil. In the appendage, black 17-inch discs are coming to everything (these are only put on Vitara S) and red-on-black shock of the cabin with the red rims of instruments and air ducts. Truly the Devil lies in the details!
Pads on pedals plus rim and striking red - everything that distinguishes the interior of new products from ordinary Vitara
In addition to red decorations and stainless steel overlays on pedals, inside Vitara s does not give out of them. Even the seats - both the standard, although they have a sin to complain: the profile is correct, the landing is convenient, side support is present. Yes, and in the middle of the armchairs, artificial suede clingly holds a sediment, not letting ridge in turns. I checked it on my own skin, hitting a co-driver to the "hot" owner of the Lancer Evo. How did we wash on the serpents of the Basque hills! Moreover, the torrential rain only raised my colleague - after all, it is easier to ride the car into a skid. But even with a disconnected stabilization system, the all-wheel drive Vitara S was actively resisted attempts to force her revenge by the feed, clinging for wet asphalt, like a cat for carpet. From the point of view of Drive, the result is so-so (yes, it could not be, because the chassis is also standard here), but in terms of security, the car scored five balls out of five - four-wheel drive Worked clearly.
And behind there are no differences at all ...
Realizing that Drift is canceled, the colleague willingly gave way to the steering wheel, and already turning around to the motorway, I realized what the novelty chip is. With a relatively small mass, the car has excellent energy equipment. The 1.4-liter "booster" gives the maximum moment already at 1,500 revolutions and keeps this bar to a mark of 4000 rpm, on which the torque of the atmospheric "narrow" 1.6 only reaches its peak. As a result, the "turbo-wave" fits from the place as a plug from champagne! At high-speed highway, the nature of the novelties revealed to full force - I did not experience such a drive behind the wheel of a crossover from the time of the test of a 2.0-liter "Tiguana", but that and the power was more, and the price tag is significantly higher. Everything is more modest here, but you get no less pleasure from driving. And all this with a funny fuel consumption - about 8 liters per hundred ("Tiguan" eaten almost 12). It is difficult to believe, but with the excellent dynamics, the 140-strong "Vitara" was even a bit more economical than a slowest 117-strong!
And now about the price. There is good news: the turbated Vitara S will cost at the level of the "top" atmospheric, due to the fact that from the list of equipment of the novelty will exclude the non-shifting shifting glass roof. All other options (and by them vitara s is packed by default under the string) will remain in place. This will give the sellers Suzuki an additional advantage: there are many crossovers for the same money on the market, but for the same money, with the same dynamics and the same rich equipment - once, two and turned around.

It is expected that Vitara S with a machine gun (on the "mechanics" we will not have any cars) will cost about the same amount, at how much and the usual Vitara 1.6 on the full "minced" or slightly more expensive. But in sensations, it will be a completely different car that can interest not only the narrow circle of Russian fans of the SUZUKI brand.
In this case, I will tell you where you can break out three with the tail of the day by car with family and friends, and how to spend time very cool, get a lot of impressions and even relax! Last - Really?
I no longer remember when I had a full-fledged vacation, when you're a week or nothing more, do not answer calls and letters for work ... Therefore, similar short departures on the weekend - as a sip of fresh air. Moreover, I love to be on the road by car, I can be driving a clock and get pleasure from it, or just look from the passenger seat for changing landscapes. What could be better? And then weekend a little more ordinary, in view of the holidays, and on the review was the novelty of Suzuki Vitara S, the fact that outwardly from the usual "Vitara" is distinguished by grille, silver housings of rearview mirrors, black 17-inch cast discs and head LED-headlamps With red edging. Yes, you yourself are probably aware! Well, testing the car, traveling is doubly kaifovo. We took friends with you and went to the Carpathians, in the direction of Bukoveli.
This difference between Suzuki Vitara S from the usual version hides under the hood - this is a new 1,4-liter turbocked motor Boosterjet, developing 140 hp and 220 nm. The appearance of this engine means for Suzuki a small revolution, because for the first time in history, the turbo engine is set on the model, which will be sold outside of Japan, and not just on local keys.
Go!
We were four adults and a human young with an attached car seat. Our friends immediately noted the appearance of the car, they said that it was stylish, bright and even thought that the glossy black roof was a hatch. But no, it's just inserting another color, which gives +100 to karma.
Everyone is comfortable, everything was enough for the feet and above the head, and it was comfortable to go. That immediately noted, so this is the presence in the salon of a large number of comfortable, large niches for storage: under bottles, cups and other little things. Plastic is ubiquitous hard.
In the cabin, too, there are differences from the usual "Vitara". S-ka received a new three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum pads on pedals, other inserts on the front panel.
Trunk at 375 liters. (Despite the fact that this is not a record indicators in the class) quite enough for things five adults and a unicorn. Yes, the child from all toys chose a hefty unicorn ... In general, it is pleasant in the cabin.
From the disadvantages you can note the work of climate control. We never coped with him - it didn't work out for themselves. If the front is good, fresh, then crying "we are so ill!". If you do so that the rear passengers were happy - the front is stuffy ... The second defects are acoustics. The speakers are not a cake .... The listening of music does not enjoy, and if you do it for a long time in the sound of the wind that goes into the salon, you earn a headache. By the way, here you immediately pay attention to the "preservative" sound of the door closure.
We left, deciding all the work done, it was about four hours of the day. Destination - with. Polyanya, located under the bucker. There we shot rooms in one of the hotels. About the hotel itself a little later. They drove about 10 hours, although it is possible and faster, but at night on unlit, killed roads we behaved as carefully. Roads in the Carpathians - the worst evil. It works here golden Rule: the quieter you go, the further you'll get. It costs to mention a good power intensity of the suspension, it is quite difficult to pierce.
The allgrap full drive system has several modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, as well as Lock. In the automatic torque, sent to the front axle and only when the sink of one of the front wheels, connects the rear axle to operation.
The average fuel consumption on the road "There" amounted to 7.5 liters per hundred. They tried to drive economically, in the speed range of 100-130 km / h. Such flow indicators are very good for all-wheel drive crossover With a turbocharged motor.
We arrived at our hotel to the hour of the night and no one was waiting for us ... All fences / wickets were closed, knocks and calls did not help, I called someone from the administrators (phone from the hotel's website), which was not in place and he offered us To climb through the fence and there already to search, wake up one who has been settled. So done. They climbed through the fence, opened the gate, drove the car and went to raise the hotel's staff on the ears. After that, the invasion of us was safely excavated.
The first half a day with "Vitars" went fine!
Day 1 in the Carpathians
Run early in the morning, we went to walk through the hotel. She is not big. There is a swimming pool, playground, zone for BBQ. Everything is pure and well maintained - a pleasant place. The only minus is the hotel directly on the road and some beautiful Carpathian view around is not, in front of you it opens ... dusty road. Next we called for breakfast (everything is very tasty and every morning he was different). Hotel price - 400 UAH for 2-bed room + breakfast. By the way, for reference, for the price of 500 UAH (without breakfast) you can find rooms in very steep, scenic places.
Hamster - a mountain located in the southeastern part of Gorgan in the territory of Ivano-Frankivsk region. The height is 1542 m, the height difference compared to the valley of the rod is 700-800 m.
Our next point is the conquest of the top of the mountain hamster. Of course, we left the car at the foot and send to the road! They thought to handle in a couple of hours, but took rise to about five hours. We were exhausted, the heat did their work ... But it was worth it. The view is indescribable. In each of us immediately woke up instect!
Day 2.
Thanks to the inset of the body color on dashboard And torpedo, as well as a red line on the seats and the steering wheel, the interior looks harmonious and modern.
In the morning of the second day spent by the pool, but so as not to sit down (we have a maximum program) we went to Bukovel and took the bikes. At a price of about 150 UAH for 4 hours. The idea was not very successful, because initially when you plan similar pokatushki, you present a descent from the hills in the picturesque forest trails, when your hair is developing in the wind and you inhale crystal clear air ... In fact, everything is a little different. Cheap bikes are so killed by rolling so much that even on asphalt moving on them is uncomfortable and dangerous. For lifting and subsequent descent with a bicycle on a lift without experience, you will not be allowed for security reasons. And the infrastructure of Bukovel does not provide for cycling paths and cyclers. In general, after the first hour of such pokatushki, it became clear that all this clauses were doubtful and two-wheeled vehicles were ahead of schedule returned to hire.
The front bumper in this configuration looks very stylish. Vertically arranged running lights and foglights add aggression appearance. But this beauty is the main opponent on off-road. The angle of entry is 18.2 degrees. It's not a lot, so when storming the rods or obstacles on an offrocess you need to be attentive
Then lunch, and after we decided to ride on the serpents of the buckers on our "Vitara C", the benefit there they are there and the road is just great! And also found a good placewhere the presentations of SUV once passed. There's just an incredible view, so we stayed there for a short time and met a beautiful sunset!
As well as photo from inst:
Day 3.
From the morning, we went to Bukovel, relax in the Voda complex - this is a rest at the lake + pools, jacuzzi, saunas and all that. Great place, really helps to relax and relax. There we stayed until the daytime session is closed, until 18:00. Price per day - 300 UAH per person. But this for the third day we were little! And in the evening we went to search for a waterfall GUK.
The waterfall received its name from the female stream, which is the left tributary of the river Prut. At the same time, the word "GUK", as local residents say, means "noisy".
The day ended by visiting the Kolyba. Well, how without it in the Carpathians?
And early in the morning we had breakfast and go home, to Kiev. On the way back we fell into a thunderstorm. Visibility at times was almost zero. But because of such complications, the tiring road was expected only more interesting.
Interestingly, during a thunderstorm, some AZK did not work and did not refuel the cars, arguing this by the fact that refueling vehicle During thunderstorms prohibited. Previously, I never heard about it.
So there were three days of my little vacation. By the way, this is my far from the first journey to the Carpathians, I can note from myself that the long-lasting move on this crossover was not accompanied by fatigue, which I experienced on some passenger cars.
Traveling to Vitara turned out to be comfortable. Therefore, if you are looking for a car with a full-wheel drive, the permeability of more "cars" and the machine for sane money - you definitely should consider this option. From minuses can notice the absence diesel version, not very high-quality media system sound and not the best noise insulation.
How to decrypt the prefix s in the name Suzuki Vitara - Sport, self-expression, courage? Perhaps this is just a little? But if you continue this children's game in encrypters, I would say that the word "rapid" is most suitable here. Where to strive and what is aimed japanese crossoverWe understand together.
Many generations of motorists are associated with the image of a real SUV, albeit modest sizes. But there were never speech about any drive versions of the model. However, the company decided to keep up with the times: in front of me the crossover with this name - and in the "evil" combination of flowers, red with black, plus a 1,4-liter turbo engine and a fitting trim of the cabin. What type of sport is more "Eska" more sport? Let's see together. 
Important little things
How to externally distinguish the S-version from the usual "Vitara" with a 1.6-liter "atmospheric"? On this account we have a few simple rules. First, look attentively at the radiator grille. At version S, it received large vertical chrome "pillars" instead of horizontal strips, and the cells of the grid became larger. And our car is painted immediately in three colors. In addition to the contrast combination of the primary color and roof, accessible to all "Vitaras", the outer rear-view mirrors are painted in additional gray. Did not forget designers and personal wheel disks For "Eski", her 17-inch wheels Received an expressive form. 
On our test Suzuki Vitara S installed not only the LED running lights, but also the LED headlights of the head light are inconspicuous while the phenomenon is outside the premium class. Looking in advance, I will note that they shine perfectly, and the sensitivity threshold of the light sensor is quite high, so that in the tunnels during the day you will not have to independently include "near". Clearance of "Sport" also has not changed - 185 mm - Compared to the crossover without the prefix "S". There is nothing surprising in this, because sport is different, and in crossovers he is yours - if not a cross (sorry for the pun), then at least an off-road. The tests of the snow-covered forest and urban faces have shown that the only possible place of contact of the machine with the ground with a non-accurate ride is a strong protection of the power unit. 
Of course, we would like the front skell to be shorter, because it prevents from realizing other reserves of the geometric passability of "Vitara" - its very good corners of the ramp and the congress. With an active ride in the rain and slush often splashes thresholds, and there is a risk of blurring pants about them - you need to remember about it. Also dirty road suspension harms the rearview chamber: even though it is located in a secluded place - near the backlight of the license plate - it has to be cleaned periodically. 
In the center of the circle
The interior "heated" version of the crossover has much more differences from the "civil" modification than the exterior. So, for all seats, steering wheel and cover lever PPC runs red stitchas a symbol of an emotional car. In our configuration, the armchairs are covered with skin and Alcantara. Side support for them - although not the brightest in the class, but quite working. All adjustments of the chairs are mechanical. On the back of the place is enough. It is a pity that the doorway seemed to me narrow. 
Sitting with Alcantara - distinctive feature Suzuki in its class.
On the gallery there is not so little, the transmission tunnel will not interfere.
Torpedo "Vitara" stylistically distinguished from many modern carsFirst of all, due to the contrasting framework around the blowing deflectors and the clock. Last, by the way, one of the brightest details of the interior, especially interesting hours in dark time day when they are romantically highlighted from the inside. Torpedo S-version lost inserts in body colorbut got a lining "under aluminum". To quality hungarian assembly I have no complaints about the car. Although the test car has already ran 15,000 km, but it did not affect the "density" of the design - there are no creak, or knocks. 
Hint about the brand full drive is made on Torpedo.
Round deflectors someone may seem old-fashioned, but it did not seem so much. In this interior, the ducts of another form would look ridiculous.
The main place on the center console is allocated to a 7-inch sensory display. Multimedia (by the way, from authoritative German) I was pleased with the presence of Apple Car Play, so that the lack of full-time navigation was made thanks to the standard "apple" cards in my phone. And I generally keep quiet, choose - I don't want to choose about the breadth of multimedia playback. The information and entertainment system around the perimeter of the screen has several touch buttonsTo which you need to get used to. 
The scales of the search for radio stations looks interesting.
It is necessary to connect via USB to the iPhone machine, as the display turns into a smartphone.
On the transmission tunnel there was only a full-wheel drive control unit. The steering wheel, covered with perforated skin, has a very good shape with tides under the thumbs. The telephone control buttons are grouped on it into a separate unit so as not to confuse with the cruise control and audio buttons; it's comfortable. 
A very comfortable steering wheel with tides helps with a handle.
The luggage compartment with a double bottom is good in that under the main floor you can hide the little things that constantly have to carry in the car, and at the same time you will remain free all the main space. The volume of this "top compartment" in a margin - 375 liters. The maximum amount of cargo transported is 1,120 liters. Episode from the weekly test drive Suzuki Vitara: during the purchase of materials in one of the construction hypermarkets, one-piece 2,5-meter plinths and baguettes were easily fitted in the car, but for this I had to fold the back of the front passenger seat. 
The luggage compartment of the correct shape has pockets on the sides.
With folded backs, the length of 2.5 m.
The originality of the ideas of the Japanese do not occupy. Look only on this shelf clamp.
Pips on gas!
How does the perception of cars and their change power aggregates! If another five years ago we would laugh, learning that a modest 1.4-liter engine was installed on a sufficiently massive crossover, then this fact should be perceived quite seriously. Gasoline turbine unit of 1,4 liter boosterjetMounted under the hood of the hero of our test, officially presented last year in Geneva. With its supervision and direct injection It gives 140 liters. from. and 220 Nm of torque. Interestingly, all the "maximum" Newton meters are already available from 1500 rpm, and the maximum moment range reaches up to 4000 rpm. Such a wide "regiment" cannot but rejoice. What else immediately liked it is sound insulation motor compartment. At idle and small gas, only the tachometer can be understood that the engine is equipped and working. 
To say that "Vitara" shoots from the place, it would be an exaggeration, but the dynamics at the level of 10 seconds to "hundreds" for this class is a very good indicator. But still, thanks to the big clearance (we are on an SUV!) And overly light steering wheel "to light up" in the city and chasing on it with someone, we would not advise. But if you need to overtake someone quickly on a narrow road or to get into the next row with the move - Suzuki will show himself young. Let's say a few words about the consumption. In version 4x4, the passport in the city cycle consumes 7.9 liters per 100 km of run. Our observations when driving around the capital have shown that to meet at 8.5-9 liters is completely under power. 
The suspension is simple - in front of MacPherson, behind - beam. Moderately rigid chassis will save you from frequent breakdowns, even with quick driving on the "primer", but may cause some discomfort on a blocking, or an inaccurately fallen asphalt. 
Settings of the full drive are adjusted by a special wheel between armchairswhich helps to choose one of the preset settings packages. By default, the front-wheel drive crossover, "rear" connects automatically when the front wheels slip. In Sport mode rear axle It connects more often, and the motor tries to keep turnover higher. "Mud", he also "snow" makes the machine completely all-wheel drive, and only in it you can use the blocking of an inter-track electromagnetic clutch - that is, so we are blocking the inter-system differential. 
Choosing fast
Individualization is the argument to which the creators of Suzuki Vitara versions with the Litera S. After all, the buyer can choose among a dozen combinations of flowers, two-color combinations, finishing materials. And the turbo engine will bring a lot of pleasure while driving and make travel more secure. So exactly determine where this crossover is closer - to smart, or beautiful - we can not. He is clearly chasing both hares, and it seems, he does it turn out. 
SUZUKI VITARA crossover is already familiar to us, but its charged version of Vitara S has still passed by. Now, we eliminated this drawback to find out what it is better than the atmospheric version and is it worth overpaying for turboosiles?
Still japanese engines Your sound is even at idle. Especially at Suzuki. Who said " sewing machine"? Yes, Michio Suzuki, like Sakichi Toyoda, started with weaving machines. But whoever old will remember, the eye is won.
Turborecher 1.4 shoes quietly, will not get drowned, at least a coin on valve cover Put. And it is reliable for sure how all the narrowing technique, at least about this testify the owners on our forum.
All-wheel drive Vitara S weighs 1235 kg - practically as SWIFT 4WD, albeit 50 kg is heavier than, the residence is felt. Still, almost two-way advantage in the torque makes itself felt, especially on low revs: Maximum 220 nm are available in the range from 1500 to 4000 rpm! By the way, the same BoosterJet 1.4 will stand under the hood of hot hat SUZUKI SWIFT Sport, which will be significantly easier (the new SWIFT is 120 kg is easier than the predecessor) and for sure with a closest near the gear ratios.
I have a six-speed "automatic" at hand. Accelerate from the lowests is clearly lighter and more fun than on the usual 1600-cubic vitara. Still, the difference in acceleration up to 100 km / h almost three seconds faster! If quite accurately, then by 2.8 s - for 10.2 s. And the front-wheel drive Vitara S is still more revealed (9.5 s), it is a pity that we can not buy "charged" Vitar on the "Mechanics".
Truth, on-board computer Now highlights about 8 l / 100 km. But I'm actively moving, even provocatively. Dive into the next turn of a narrower serpentine, almost without dropping the move, and Vitara S is kept by the Molod, smoothly gliding wet asphalt All four.
And I'm not tough! Even on the country path, according to which Suzuki is still still taking. And on the freeway and is alone at all. Baranca is a pleasant reactive effort, the turbocorecher in response to pressing gives an acceleration pulse and 150 km / h on the sixth gear, the brakes are adequate ... Can, and without assistance!
In the last century, Suzuki almost absorbed General Motors Corporation, which has long owned a 20 percent stake in stock. In 2008, the Japanese bought all their securities from Americans, and a year later included in a similar alliance with Volkswagen concern, hoping to get modern European technologies in exchange for access to India and Pakistan markets, where Suzuki has superiority.
But something went wrong, and the head of the company, the gray-haired Osamu Suzuki ... nee, by the way, as Osama Matsda. He was a modest banking clerk, but successfully married a girl from the Zuzuki clan and became, as the Japanese say, Mukovoi - adopted and admitted to the management of the family company. Now he is 86, but he is still at the helm with the eldest son Toshikhiro.
It was Suzuki-senior who forced Volkswagen to sell back to the Japanese 20% of the shares for 3.8 billion dollars and broke the agreement: the main claim was the unwillingness of the German side to share technologies.
I'm trying to imagine the hood Volkswagenovsky 1.4 TSI - and ... It's good that the Japanese are independent. The first turbo engine at Suzuki, by the way, appeared back in 1983 on the XN85 motorcycle, when the whole "big Japanese motorcycle foursome" suddenly rushed to "down" engines. But that fashion quickly passed. And now without turbocompressors, nowhere.
That car boosterjet is also good, but no more. And Vitara reached successful - and with a literary S, and without it. And if the previous frame Vitara was global - these simple cars still ride in America, and in Greece, and in Thailand, the current is only available at the Hungarian plant and is intended mainly for Europe. Deliveries to Japan (where Vitara is sold as Escudo) is small. And the American automotive department Suzuki has long been going bankrupt and closed.
We have Vitara S sold only with the "machine" and in a rich configuration - it will be possible to choose only a front or four-wheel drive. Now the front-wheel drive Vitara S 6t costs 608 000 UAH, and with a full drive - 685 000 UAH. Then as the most sophisticated atmospheric Vitara 1.6 4WD 6AT in the Outdoor GLX configuration is estimated at 667 000 UAH, and the simplest Vitara GL 2WD 5MT costs only 427 000 UAH. In general, a wide choice for every taste and color, and the body you can choose a two-color - light bottom, dark top, or vice versa. As in the best houses of Paris and London. Eh, we would like more roads as in Western Europe ...

New Vitara is okay and not without complaints about the conquest of light off-road. She lacked only powerful engine, for example, turboodiesel, which is already known in Europe. But we still do not see it. But in March on russian market The 140-strong Vitara S will be released - the first in the history of the brand machine with a gasoline turbo engine.
External changes in Vitara with a turbo minimum: five-section radiator grille and red headlights. Red border decorated the front panel of the salon and ventilation deflectors (in the usual edging blue), on the seats, the red snatch changed silver. And on a plastic decorative engine cover, a promising inscription: boosterjet. Plane?
Driving turbated Vitara is completely different. The gas pedal as if additional nervous endings appeared: she reacts to the slightest touch - and the car is ready to break from the place. For acceleration, it takes only 10.2 C against 13 C at the atmospheric machine, and the front-wheel drive version is still shunter - 9.5 s! The maximum speed rose from 180 to 200 km / h. With such a sufficiency, it would be nice to have a dense, with good feedback The steering wheel, - but, alas, he is all the same wadded.
Suspension energy intensive and does not allow strong rolls. On the highway you go to pleasure, and with the settlement she copes confidently. But the engine that was so good on the asphalt, there are tight on heavy soils. The limit torque of 220 N ∙ M is issued in the range of 1500-4000 rpm (atmospheric only 156 N ∙ M at 4400 rpm), but the passage of the wet sand is not very talked.
In order not to go down, I had to crawl into the sweat, and sometimes the GLAH engine, chapens before the obstacle, like a mouse at the sight of a cat.
Elementing machines with a literary S - asphalt, where the air turbogolot accounts for the engine very, by the way: something Driver appeared in the character of Vitara and, which is especially nice, the fuel consumption has decreased. Gasoline, of course. Approximate price - 1,500,000 rubles.
