Suzuki continues to build on the success of its Vitara Hybrid, introducing significant updates for the 2025 model year. As one of Suzuki’s top-selling models, the Vitara Hybrid now boasts redefined SUV styling, enhanced standard equipment, cutting-edge technology, and further improved hybrid efficiency, making it an even stronger contender in the competitive small SUV market.
Updated Exterior Design and Styling Options
The 2025 Vitara Hybrid receives various exterior revisions that provide a modern, refreshed look. A redesigned front grille, bumper, and rear upper spoiler (with integrated rear window side spoilers) give the Vitara a sportier appearance. Additionally, new 17-inch alloy wheels add to its dynamic stance. Customers can now choose from two fresh color options: Sphere Blue Pearl Metallic with Cosmic Black dual-tone and Titan Dark Grey Metallic in a single-tone finish.
Enhanced Safety Technology as Standard
Safety has been a top priority for Suzuki, and the 2025 Vitara Hybrid delivers with an upgraded suite of standard safety features. Both the Motion and Ultra models now include Lane Keep Assist, Intelligent Speed Control, Driver Monitoring System, and eCall. These features offer a more secure driving experience in various conditions.
One of the standout additions is the improved Dual Sensor Brake Support system. This upgraded safety technology now uses millimetre-wave radar instead of lidar, along with a monocular camera, enhancing collision mitigation, especially in nighttime and intersection situations. This system is also capable of detecting pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and vehicles ahead, offering a wider scope of protection.
More Technology and Comfort Features
Standard equipment levels have been elevated across both the Motion and Ultra models, ensuring drivers and passengers have access to top-notch features. The Motion model comes equipped with a 9-inch media display, wireless smartphone connectivity (compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), Keyless entry and start, High Beam Assist, and rear parking sensors. Suzuki Connect, which includes a three-year free subscription, further enhances the user experience.
For those looking to upgrade to the Ultra model, additional premium features include new 17-inch polished alloy wheels, a panoramic sliding sunroof, suede/leather seat fabric, front and rear parking sensors, electric folding door mirrors, and an overhead storage console.
Improved Hybrid Efficiency and Lower Emissions
The 2025 Vitara Hybrid benefits from improved hybrid efficiency across its range. The 2WD mild hybrid manual transmission models achieve up to a 9% improvement in combined fuel consumption at 53.2 mpg, while the full hybrid 2WD models with AGS transmission deliver up to a 6% improvement, reaching 56.4 mpg. CO2 emissions have also been reduced, with the 1.5-litre full hybrid Motion model now emitting just 113g/km, down from 119g/km in the previous model.
Powertrain Options and 4WD Availability
As standard, the Vitara Hybrid continues to offer hybrid technology, with manual transmission models featuring a 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid system. For those preferring automatic transmission, the full hybrid option with AGS transmission remains available. Uniquely, both manual and AGS models offer the option of 4WD, making the Vitara one of the few small SUVs to provide this versatility.
0% APR Finance Offer
Suzuki is also offering a 0% APR PCP finance deal for the latest Vitara range, available on vehicles registered by the end of March 2025. For instance, the 2WD 1.5-litre Full Hybrid Motion model with AGS transmission requires a £6,855 deposit, followed by 36 monthly payments of £239. An optional final payment can be made to own the vehicle outright at the end of the agreement.
