Having spent a fair amount of time driving our long-term Vitara and the S-cross, I’m in no doubt as to which of Suzuki’s crossovers I prefer.
The Vitara is cheaper, better looking, rides more comfortably and is only marginally smaller inside than the S-cross.
One thing the Vitara misses out on, though, is heated front seats. They’re standard on the SZ5 spec S-cross (although, admittedly, this car costs £2000 more than our Vitara). With the mild start to the winter it wasn’t a feature I’d missed, but after a bout of snow and sub-zero temperatures it’s an extra I wish was available to Vitara drivers.
