Suzuki Vitara background information

Suzuki Vitara (called Suzuki Escudo in Japan) is a compact crossover manufactured by the Japanese company Suzuki since May 1988. In terms of body width, the car is part of the 5th dimensional group and is a typical representative of the “cross-country vehicle” class, ie off-road vehicle.

Production of the model began in May 1988.

The car was equipped with gasoline engines from 1.6 to 2.0 liters and a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Has options with both manual and automatic transmission. Initially, the only 3-door version of the Vitara, which was equipped with a 1.6-liter in-line 4-cylinder SOHC engine, was available in three body types: hardtop, body with a folding top and van (Van). However, a little later in 1991 there was a 5-door modification, which gained immense popularity.
