Suzuki Vitara - Powertrain

Under the hood, Suzuki Vitara equipped with a re-engineered 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. It runs enough power to allow the car to reach at its peak performance. The M16A engine produced a maximum power of 115 Hp at 156 Nm of torque. The engine is then coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission which received the assistance of paddle shifters for a sheer driving experience.

Despite having a bulky bodyweight, the Vitara offers a perfect ride and handling, all thanks to a sturdy monocoque frame, large 17-inch wheels, and slightly stiffer setup for the front Macpherson struts and rear torsion beam. With its large tyres, the SUV provides a minimum ground clearance of 185mm. With more leeway on approach, ramp breakover, and departure angles, the vehicle runs smoothly over deeply-rutted or bumpy roads.

The Vitara runs a real-time system (AllGrip Select) that uses a viscous coupling to automatically distribute traction to the rear wheels when it detects slippage at the front. Suzuki AllGrip system comes with 4 different driving mode to choose depends on road condition. The AllGrip Select provide options such;

1. Auto – Sets the drivetrain to 2WD and only sends power to the rear when it senses the front tyres slipping.
2. Sport Mode – Sets traction control system to intervene less for faster acceleration and quicker turning.
3. Snow Mode – Delivers 50:50 torque split between the front and rear axles, allows for easier driving on slippery and uneven road surfaces.
4. Lock Mode – Distributes torque evenly across all four wheels, applies brakes to tyres that are spinning and sends available power to tyres that are gripping.
