2004 Suzuki Vitara Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

The small SUV segment is full of very capable vehicles, and although the Vitara can rock-crawl with the best of them, it gets left behind in nearly every other respect.

Pros

Truck-based body-on-frame construction means off-road capability.

Cons

Meager cargo space, cramped rear seats, lacks refinement.

What's New for 2004

The Vitara two-door has been dropped. The Vitara four-door is upgraded with a V6 engine and comes with charcoal-colored bumpers and mud guards, a newly designed soft spare tire cover and new exterior colors.
