2021 Suzuki Vitara pricing and specs detailed: MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, Mitsubishi ASX, Mazda CX-30, Nissan Qashqai and Kia Seltos rival rises in cost

The Vitara’s cost of entry is now $2500 higher.

Suzuki Australia’s fourth-generation Vitara small SUV now costs thousands of dollars more to buy.

The entry-level manual FWD (front-wheel drive) variant has become $2500 dearer, at $25,490 plus on-road costs, while its automatic counterpart is now $2000 dearer, at $26,990.

A $2000 price rise has also been applied to the FWD and AWD (all-wheel drive) versions of the flagship Turbo grade, with the pair moving to $32,490 and $36,490 respectively.

As before, the Vitara’s FWD variants are motivated by an 86kW/156Nm 1.6-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, which is mated to a five-speed manual or a six-speed torque-converter automatic.

The small SUV’s Turbo grade continues to up the ante with a 103kW/220Nm 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which is exclusively paired with a six-speed torque-converter automatic.

As reported, the MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, Mitsubishi ASX, Mazda CX-30, Nissan Qashqai and Kia Seltos rival is expected to be replaced with a new, fifth-generation model soon, so stay tuned.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
