Suzuki will be upgrading its Vitara and the new model will be available in South Africa in 2019.
The upgrades include a few minor modifications to the exterior, including new alloy wheels, grille, LED lights at the rear and two new body colour options.

Other safety gizmos will include traffic sign recognition and a blind-spot monitoring system, which alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spots over the driver’s shoulders.
