Is the Suzuki Vitara domestically produced?
2 Answers
There are already domestically produced Suzuki Vitara cars, and they are produced by Changan Suzuki. Here is more information about the Suzuki Vitara: 1. The Suzuki Vitara is a compact SUV under the Suzuki brand. 2. The wheelbase of the Suzuki Vitara is 2500 mm, with a length, width, and height of 4175 mm, 1775 mm, and 1610 mm respectively. 3. The Suzuki Vitara uses two engines in total, one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Among them, the 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 158 N·m; the 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 220 N·m.
I have been a Suzuki Vitara owner since 2016. I drove the domestically produced version made by Changan Suzuki back then, during the joint venture era. The car was assembled at the Chongqing factory with stable quality, and my car is still in use today with few faults and low fuel consumption. After 2018, Suzuki withdrew from the Chinese market, and the joint venture ended, so there have been no new domestically produced models since. If you want to buy one now, you can only look for older domestic models in the used car market or wait for import channels. I think the domestic version of the Vitara offers great value for money, especially suitable for city commuting and light off-roading, but you should carefully inspect the chassis and engine when buying a used one. By the way, parts for domestic cars are easy to find, and repairs are much cheaper.
