The Vitara scored a maximum five-star rating from Euro NCAP when it was tested in 2015 but that?s an age ago in motor industry terms. Updates in 2019 and 2020 have helped the Vitara keep pace with the latest safety tech, though, Suzuki standardising its driver assistance features and fitting them to every Vitara in the range, rather than leave them on the options list as some rivals do. This is to be applauded, the Vitara capable of applying the brakes automatically if you don?t respond to warnings of an approaching hazard, using radar monitored cruise control to keep a constant distance to the car in front even if it changes its speed and using side sensors to warn of unseen vehicles in your blind spot. It will also warn you and even tweak the steering to keep you in lane if it thinks you?re drifting out of it.
