Suzuki Vitara - 1.4 Turbo vs 1.6 VVT - acceleration 0-100 km/h 

I gotta say that this test is much wrong, I manage to do 0-100 in my vitara 1.6 VVT but manual 5 speed in 8.5 sec everytime in sport mode. Also I noticed that when you got to 100km/h, you still counted another 3 sec and kept it on 100 for some reasion…. There is not big difference between 1.4 and 1.6 actually….

Great Video. The 1.4 Boosterjet -140 HP is so fast like BMW X3 20i - 190 HP . Great Job Suzuki. Even 0-100 in 8.4 sec is awesome!

My wife did exactly the same test on Friday, the difference as a feeling was bigger. We purchased 1.4 but my personal preference is still 1.6 - without turbo. One more thing - this channel has contributed to the purchase of Vitara :)

What an awesomely comprehensive test run of these cool cars. Thanks for the upload!

Very nice car, i want to buy 1.4 boosterjet 140km 4x4 in future

I own a ZC33S and this seems fairly accurate. I do less than 7.5 seconds from 0 to 100 (the same engine, the only difference is the injectors in the ZC33S have an additional nozzle hole and has 10 Nm more of torque) and it is lighter so yeah. I also read Suzuki will replace the K14C with the K14D which will include an electric (making it a hybrid) motor that will allow it to produce more power but I bet it will be heavier as well...

Great test demonstrating the capabilities of the Vitara S. Even if the test was done with Vitara S against the other 1.4 Boosterjet Vitara’s like the SZT, SZ4 or SZ5, the Vitara S will always be the fastest to 100kph due to the aerodynamic styling of the Vitara S minimising drag coefficient better than the others. The rear spoiler, front grille, black side and front mouldings all prude outwards to disrupt air flow and the alloy wheels used have been designed to improve performance, gas mileage and lower CO2 emissions. Interesting that the black gloss (black piano) alloy wheels that were standard on the Vitara S (UK, New Zealand and Australia), those alloy wheels were made by Uni Wheels (Germany) now owned by Superior Industries, USA. Suzuki ditched Uni Wheels after one year working with them for supplies before using Borbet (Germany) for all other Vitara models from 2018. Having looked at both alloy wheels, it looks like the Uni Wheels alloy wheels on the Vitara S were specially heat treated to improve strength and hardness according to the markings on the back. It also has fewer gaps in the alloy rims which helps lower drag. According to Suzuki those black alloys are cost just over 400 euros per alloy wheel which is very very expensive. Heat treating cast aluminum alloy wheels is expensive and not all alloy wheel manufacturers use heat treatment. I doubt Borbet wheels do as they cost far less from Suzuki.

Results seem fairly accurate although in Sports Mode the car does feel quicker. On another note what I have also found is that the official Suzuki quoted figures for fuel economy are also somewhat incorrect. By using quality spark plugs, 97+RON unleaded fuel, B or higher rated fuel economy tyres or summer tyres ruuning on ECO mode (38/41psi), fuel economy is town/city is around 45mpg (6.28 l/100km) and on highways/motorway I get around 55-58mpg (4.87 to 5.14 l/100km). Easily over 50mpg most trips. I mean this is quite exceptional for a small SUV with such performance and economy despite a 4WD with a torque convertor gearbox (I have the Vitara S). I don't think there is another car out there as a 4WD with TC that can do better however the SZ5 I found the figures are worser, fuel ecompny and even CO2 emissions are really bad at 170g.

Thank you

1.4T stage 1 goes up to 165hp.. 1160killos.. the car is a rocket

They should of tested and compared the 1.4 turbo (non hybrid) manual v auto. Performance Auto did it for the Swift Sport the auto was faster by 0.4 seconds compared to the manual and the Suzuki Baleno, Suzuki claim in their specifications the auto is faster by 0.4 seconds over the manual gearbox one. The Vitara should be no different. Expect the manual to be slower around 0.4 seconds so 0-100kph around 9.1 seconds and the auto we have seen is around 8.6-8.7 for an all wheel drive with torque convertor 6 speed auto, which is exceptional. Never seen this with any other crossover with similar engine. I haven't understood why it is faster but some claim lower turbo lag is the reason and perhaps higher gear ratios on the torque convertor with turbo engine.

Which one is better when it comes to the quality and reliability - 1.4 or 1.6?

excellent video, just what I was looking for

Good testing

1.6 live 4×2..... 😀satisfecho👌

And why does the 2wd accelerates better? Is it something with the less 20kg weight of the 4wd gears missing? Wouldnt the 4wd compensates that with no loss of traction during acceleration? What is really happening?

Hello, thanks for this awesome test. Is it necessary to switch off ESP for the 1.4 allgrip version for better 0-60 acceleration, or does the sport mode take care of it?

Very interesting video, thanks.

I heard that in sport mode the vitara s 1.4 boosterjet, the brake horse power increases to the region of around 167hp rather than the 138hp quoted by Sukuzi. Does anyone know how true this is?

nice video

This is like an AWD Abarth 595 !

Does anyone have figures for how 1.6 VVT 4WD compared to 1.6 DDiS 4WD? Also 1.6 DDiS 2WD vs 4WD?

Interesting that actually

In the UK, the official figures for top speed on the Vitara S is 124mph and 220Nm of Max torque. From your testing was there anything to suggest that these figures are correct or much higher in reality given that the 0-62mph time is different from the official figures from your test.

Impressive results. I had read online from some unofficial sources that the Suzuki quoted engine power output of 138bhp for the K14C boosterjet engine is incorrect and the 138bhp is only at the wheels BHP and at the crank it does around 155bhp and with premium fuel it is 165bhp (all without tuning with the engine in its natural state) based on some tests done in Japan by some people. Although we will never know for sure what I wanted to ask is for those that own the Vitara 1.4 Boosterjet whether from your experience the car actually feels as if it has more than 138bhp of power?

Hmmm, I have 10.7 sec for Vitara 2wd AT 1.6 117hp with ESP off) it’s good achievement, because in passport this car have 12.5 sec)

Does a higher RON rated unleaded fuel make any difference (e.g. 98/99RON) or does it makes no difference even if 95RON is used as far as performance gains and fuel economy is concerned on this turbo engine?

Do you think that a 1.4t 2WD manual transmission would be sightly faster than the same version with automatic?

How does this turbocharged engine compare with the ones from other leading car brands such as VW turbocharged engines used in Audi's, Seat and VW cars? Is it better and more effective and efficient in the way in runs?

I always wondered why my Vitara S felt very quick, this explains it well. I do have one question, does the Vitara S have superior handling abilities then the other Vitara's with the same engine?

Just to add I saw the Swift Sport video and am wondering the Vitara S and Swift Sport both have the same engine - the K14C: 1.4 Turbo non hybrid, both 140hp specified by Suzuki but different torque Nm. Vitara S 220Nm and 230Nm for Swift Sport. How is this possible if the HP power output is the same on the same engine or are they different engines?

Which one should I purchase? The 1.4turbo all grip or the 2wd? What the advantages of the all grip version?

I think that a Vitara 1.6 vvt mt allgrip will be my next car...next year :). I cannot find anything better (or anything at all) with 4x4 for this price. I could find a normal hatch I think, but I don't know why I like Vitara more, even if I don't necessarily need 4x4.

Its pretty fast for a small SUV. I note that all these 0-60 speed tests from PDrive are done on automatic gearbox. Is the auto faster than the manual or vice versa? Would the manual be slower?

Is the suspension setup and chassis on the Vitara S different to the other Vitara's like the SZ4, SZ5, SZTs with the same engine?

No test for for the Turbo, 2WD, Manual Transmission?? (Which would be the quickest version :)

Do 1.4or 1.0 turbo engines have issues with carbon buildup or it is too early to know that ?

Wow! The turbo is much faster than a Subaru XV I wonder what the fuel economy is at in comparison.

Would the 2022 vitara turbo auto be similar numbers to what had been mentioned in the above comments. Purchased in January this year and told 6 month wait. Can’t wait to get it.

Тут ошибка наверно видно по видео что 4wd быстрее 2 wd так как стоит режим спорт на версии 1.4. Версия 2 вд сверху 4вд снизу.

1.4t 0-200 ?

14 and 31 C'.....???

I test drove the 1.4 ecojet and it's quite a nippy little car. I liked it but can't live with the cheap interior and hard plastics. Suzuki (if you'll listen), I'll pay $4K more for a classy and expensive looking interior

Small engine with high pressure and with turbo adds even more pressure. for few microseconds less, to have 1.6 vvt with much more lifespan and cheaper maintenance. You can always Chiptuning with proper maintenance and proper certified Chiptuner. and not always pedal to the metal ;)

which is which ?

1.6 far better on fuel

Over 30 degrees in one video vs, 14 degrees? Ho difference

Сравнение не корректное, температура воздуха в отличается в два раза .

Do you have info about the new hybrid model's acceleration?

Interesting there was no wheel spin during this speed test. I saw the Vitara Sport on a test track completing a lap and it was wheel spinning a lot. Not sure why and whether it performed well on the track. Not bad finishing 5th, only 4 spots below a porsche :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r0ePzVJCOiw.html
