If you’re looking for a new hybrid SUV without breaking the bank, Suzuki's 2025 Vitara might be just the ticket. Available in the United Kingdom with a 0% APR PCP finance offer, you can snag a new Vitara for just £239 a month with a £6,855 deposit (based on the 2WD 1.5-litre Full Hybrid Motion model with AGS transmission). The offer extends to vehicles registered by the end of March 2025, making it a tempting deal for hybrid hunters looking to upgrade. Next year, the current generation Vitara turns 10.

Suzuki’s refreshed Vitara lineup brings more than just financing appeal – it’s got style, safety, and efficiency upgrades. Following the lead of models like the Swift and S-Cross, the Vitara now adopts Suzuki’s simpler Motion and Ultra grade naming system. But the updates are more than just cosmetic. The 2025 Vitara shows off a redefined front grille, a sharper rear spoiler with new window side spoilers, and fresh 17-inch alloy wheels. For a pop of colour, the firm has added Sphere Blue Pearl Metallic and Titan Dark Grey Metallic options.

Safety features take a significant leap forward as well, with both Motion and Ultra models now boasting Lane Keep Assist, Intelligent Speed Control, a Driver Monitoring System, and eCall. The enhanced Dual Sensor Brake Support system, which now operates with radar instead of lidar, improves nighttime visibility and can spot pedestrians, cyclists, and even other vehicles at intersections.

Inside, Suzuki has given the compact SUV nice touches, too. Both trims get a new 9.0-inch media display with wireless smartphone compatibility, making messy cables a thing of the past. Enjoy wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry and start, high-beam assist, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror for an easier drive. There’s also a set of rear parking sensors.

Opting for the Ultra trim brings extra perks, including polished 17-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, upgraded suede and leather seats, and additional front and rear parking sensors. Suzuki Connect comes standard with both trims, offering three years of free subscription for staying connected on the go.

Fuel efficiency is another standout of the 2025 Vitara in the UK. The 2WD mild-hybrid manual version now achieves up to 53.2 mpg, a 9 per cent improvement, while the full hybrid automatic version reaches up to 56.4 mpg – a 6 per cent bump from previous models. Suzuki continues to offer its unique 4WD option for both manual and automatic hybrid trims, an unusual but welcome feature in the compact SUV market. Manual models still run on Suzuki’s 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid, while those who prefer automatic can choose the full hybrid setup with AGS transmission.
