MPG and Fuel Efficiency Advice
Over the past thirty years, the Suzuki Vitara has evolved from a rough-and-tumble, compact 4x4 to a versatile family SUV. However, other traits, like as Suzuki's skilful use of lightweight construction, have persisted throughout its existence.
To keep it current, the Japanese manufacturer made some design adjustments to the Vitara in 2024. To add new stylistic elements, the front grille and bumper were slightly modified on the outside. A darker and more subdued grille design with a single horizontal chrome line running from side to side has replaced the vertical chrome grille slats. Lane keep assist, speed control, and a driver monitoring system are among the other driver aids that are now available.
The Suzuki Vitara's fuel efficiency figures show a dividing line. This is because it has been in use long enough for two distinct testing regimes to be used to estimate its fuel efficiency. Let's start with the 1.4 Boosterjet mild-hybrid engine that is currently available for purchase.
The official WLTP figures indicate that, depending on the gearbox/drive combination installed, it can return an average fuel consumption of 45.2 to 52.7 mpg. Gareth Evans tested the automatic/four-wheel-drive version for six months and got 39.4 mpg. which is bad for this kind of vehicle.
Suzuki Vitara Fuel Consumption
Tested on the WLTP cycle, the 1.5 Hybrid Vitaras and the 1.0 Boosterjet both showed distinctly underwhelming results of 45.9 and 48.7 mpg, respectively. In our experience, the Hybrid could only get about 40 mpg on the freeway, however the numbers gradually increased on slower routes. Compare that to the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is comparable and can get close to 60 mpg.
During testing on the outdated NEDC cycle, the Vitara's 1.6 VVT petrol and 1.6 DDiS diesel variants achieved approximately 50 and 70 mpg, respectively. But you'll be lucky to hit 80% of those figures due to the NEDC tests' unreliability. For automobiles registered before March 31, 2017, vehicle excise duty only costs £20 annually due to the diesel's 106g/km CO2 emissions.
The Suzuki Vitara should be an extremely cost-effective vehicle to operate, even with its SUV-like appearance. In official WLTP fuel economy tests, the most recent mild-hybrid vehicles achieve up to 52.7 mpg, while the full hybrids achieve up to 53.0 mpg.
Suzuki Vitara Fuel Consumption
Older models do well in real-world situations, according to our Real MPG data, although it should come as no surprise that diesels are the most efficient; readers report getting about 60.0mpg from the 1.6 DDiS with the manual transmission.
The fuel consumption of the Suzuki Vitara is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Suzuki Vitara variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Suzuki Vitara in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Suzuki Vitara is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
