Suzuki Vitara: Now as a full hybrid
For Suzuki, it has become more recently quiet. "One or the other has already written off from the German market," says Daniel quickly, deputy managing director at the German importer. In fact, however, one got withdrawn only and restructured to start now with fresh elong.
This must be done for the time being without new models and, above all, without being able to offer one of the electric cars increasingly popular in the light of high sprit prices. Nevertheless, a handle in the E-kit has been done and the ingredients for the Vitara fullhybrid was producing. The 4.17 meter long and 1.78 meters wide City SUV occupies after the Mini-Crossover Ignis and in front of the small car Swift place two on the local popularity scale. Parallel to the full-hybrid name "1.5 Dualjet Hybrid" remains the Vitara program of the "BoosterJet" with 48 volt mild hybrid system, 95 kW / 129 hp and six-speed switching gear.
fullhybrid - what is that?
Mildhybrid, fullhybrid - where is the difference? First of all the similarities: both mild and full-hybrid work with a combustion and an electric motor, which is supplied by a battery that can not be recharged externally on the socket. Instead, it is powered by the current recovered with the delay (recuperation). In the full-hybrid, the E-engine develops a higher power, even the battery capacity is larger. Therefore, the system does not only support when approaching and accelerating, but also makes it possible to drive in a very low speed and over very short distances purely electrically. This can pay off, for example, in stop-and-go traffic.
Cityindians: especially in the City the technology favors the fuel consumption. manufacturer
In the Vitara fullhybrid, the drive team consists of a 1.5-l four-cylinder gasoline engine with 75 kW / 102 hp and a 24 kW / 33 hp electric motor, after hybrid arithmetic, a system performance of 85 kW / 115 hp is calculated. The energy store serves a 0.84 kWh battery installed in the rear.
Also with four-wheel drive
What the Suzuki SUV ensures a sales-promoting niche place is the rather rare option of the four-wheel drive, the Suzuki "Allgrip" is called. Both at the all-wheel drive and the front drive, an automated 6 g manual gearbox takes over the gear changes.
There are not often: fullhybrid in combination with four-wheel drive. manufacturer
The Suzuki Vitara is not a Toufish car, in Germany he has since 1988 a home, the current and fourth generation dated from the year 2015. The inspection of inspection provides little new insights, but which does not mean that the sympathetic occurrence with increased ground clearance, exhibited wheel arches And underrun protection as of yesterday acts, especially since he is spiked by colorful colors, on request also by two-tubing with black roof.
Seat sample: The entry goes conveniently, in front it lives in the front, the hinterbreaks have to come up with scarcer space. The luggage compartment increases more modest 289 liters, after folding the rear seat laths divided in the ratio 60:40, open 1046 liters.
Many confing
Under a hard plastic allergy, the inmates should not suffer, but one should allow the Vitara but a very decent processing quality. The multimedia is accessible via a touchscreen, as it belongs nowadays, the smartphone is available via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto Connection. Climate control, seat heating and reversing camera already arrive at the "Comfort" model on board, with "Comfort +" Panorama glass sliding roof and Navi add. On the other hand, the price list knows nothing about a digital driver's troublera or a head-up display.
Interior: That the Vitara is not a new car, show the absence of a digital driving instrumentation and the relatively small touchscreen. manufacturer
A short test round led us through the Frankfurt city center. One to two kilometers far the full-hybrid vitara can fall for purely electric driving, but it already requires a very sensitive gas foot, mostly the combéer attacks relatively fast. In the sense of economy, however, the Japanese dominates the sailing, when rolling out, the gasoline is decoupled from the powertrain and breaks pause. Pleasant Relax is ahead, the cooperation of both engines is an inconspicuous, successfully completes the E-machine the torque gaps resulting in shift breaks. Only with emphatic performance request, the drive is to be noted for a certain stress, even the automated manual transmission then develops the typical imperial impaired shuffle, which is otherwise associated.
And the consumption? 5.5 l / 100 km reported us the on-board computer, which is a deletable value, which, however, still has to be verified by a more detailed testing including longer highway stages.
Well equipped: Even the simpler of two equipment variants brings rear view camera and automatic climate control. manufacturer
For the "Comfort" level, Suzuki calculates from 29,150 euros, for "Comfort +" from 31,000 euros. The all-wheeler surcharge is 1850 euros. The alternative of the 48 volt mildhybrid vitaras is also available in a simpler "club" equipment and from 25,450 euros.
Electric Suzuki comes 2025
Asking wants Suzuki, belongs to the age. You want to make the brand, says Daniel quickly, and "more sexy". Anyone who understands pure electric drive needs to wait until 2025. Then first comes the first E-Suzuki, who probably arises with the kind support of shareholders and cooperation partners Toyota.
