Suzuki
Vitara S Grade
Suzuki
has revealed the most exclusive version of its new Vitara which it calls S
Grade. This new trim stands for extra luxury and sportiness and actually has a
fair few distinguishing features over lesser cars in the range.
The
most notable can be found on the outside and it’s the five-slot grille that
Suzuki says is borrowed from the iV-4 SUV concept shown at last year’s edition
of the Frankfurt motor show.
The
Vitara Grade S, which debuted this year at the fabled motoring venue, will draw
its power from the 1.4 BOOSTERJET engine. The unit
debuted in April at the Shanghai motor show and judging by the name, we expect
it to have one million horsepower.
It
doesn’t, however, making 138 hp instead; there’s also a downsized 1-liter
version of the same unit (the 1.0 BOOSTERJET) with 110 hp, but that will
probably be used in vehicles lower in the Suzuki range.
Other
bits unique to the Grade S Vitara are the LED daytime running lights (and not
headlights as the press information mistakenly suggests), leather- and
suede-like material on the steering wheel and seats, plus standard Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB), which in Suzuki marketing babble is known as RBS
(short for Radar Brake Support).
