Which would you choose? Nissan X-Trail vs. Suzuki Vitara

SUVs continue to dominate the country’s roads as the category remains to be one of the top vehicle choices of the Filipinos owing to commodious and multi-functional interior space that is perfect for family trips.

The new Vitara, one of Suzuki’s contenders in the sports utility vehicle category, is best known for its fun and playful impression which makes it unintimidating for first-time SUV owners. The vehicle’s exterior is even made more stylish with its wide range of available body colors that include two-tone selections for the top variant.

Despite its fun image, the Suzuki Vitara is a serious performer — enabled by a four-cylinder multipoint injection engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter.

The five-seater SUV is equipped with a suite of safety features such as six supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags, electronic stability program (ESP), front and rear parking sensors, and hill hold control. The Vitara is built with Suzuki’s Total Effective Control (TECT) body structure which is developed for a heightened collision protection.

Meanwhile, the Nissan X-Trail boasts a sleek and sturdy exterior and equally capable power plant.

The Nissan X-Trail lets you exude confidence in every drive as it is equipped with Nissan Intelligent Mobility features such as emergency braking, back-in park, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert. It also has an intelligent around-view monitor with moving object detection that provides a 360-degree view of the outside surroundings for a more convenient parking.

The Nissan X-Trail is powered by an intelligent 4x4 system which automatically adapts the wheels’ power to the road condition.

Take a look on the spec chart below as we compare the Suzuki Vitara GLX A/T and the Nissan X-Trail 4x4 variants.
