ALLGRIP SELECT 4x4 system
The new Vitara’s equipped with the iconic ALLGRIP SELECT 4WD system, which lets you confidently take on rough terrain. The ALLGRIP SELECT gives you a choice of four 4WD driving modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Lock mode, and drivers can choose the driving mode using a simple push-and-turn dial on the centre console.
Advanced Safety Features
The Vitara is equipped with a wide range of advanced safety and assistive driving technologies to help protect drivers and passengers. There are five main features that have been updated in the 2024 facelift.
Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II)
The new Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBSII) has expanded its detection area from the previous model, allowing object to be detected earlier. The system detects vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians directly or diagonally ahead of the vehicle.
Driver Monitoring System (DMS)
The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is also installed. The DMS monitors the driver’s eyes and face with a camera attached to the instrument panel, and if the system detects that the driver is drowsy, falling asleep, or looking away from the road, it sounds a warning alarm and displays an alert message on the information display.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The ACC helps reduce driver fatigue on long trips. In traffic, the system uses millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead and will accelerate or decelerate the vehicle as needed to maintain a set distance. If the road ahead is clear, it will maintain the speed the vehicle was traveling.
The ACC is also linked to the traffic sign recognition system to help drivers comply with posted speed limits.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
When adaptive cruise control is activated, LKA helps the driver maintain the vehicle’s position in the centre of the lane. When lane markings are unclear, the system utilises information detected from the preceding vehicle’s driving trajectory.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) / Speed Limiter
The traffic sign recognition function displays traffic signs recognised by a monocular camera on the information display. If the speed limit shown on the traffic sign is exceeded, a speed limit icon flash on and off, and an audio alert sounds if this state continues.
The speed limiter function limits the vehicle speed to that set by the driver. It can also be used in conjunction with the traffic sign recognition function to limit speed to the posted speed limit.
With safety features listed below, the Vitara facelift model complies with the General Safety Regulation (GSR2) to help support safety for customers.
• Restraint System in Frontal Impact
• Pole side-impact protection
• Fuel System Integrity and Electric Power Train in a Rear-End Collision
• Advanced Emergency Braking system
• Reversing Motion Detection

1.5 DUALJET engine paired with Strong hybrid system
The 1.5 DUALJET engine uses a dual injector system that helps increase thermal efficiency. The engine offers high fuel efficiency with low emissions, and excellent torque delivery across the rev range for smooth, powerful acceleration. In addition, the strong hybrid system comprises of a Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 140V lithium-ion power pack, and a 6-speed Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission. Not only does the MGU provide power for all-electric driving, but it also intervenes during gearshifts, resulting in smoother acceleration. The MGU also generates electricity to charge the batteries when cruising and decelerating.
1.4 BOOSTER JET engine paired with 48 SHVS mild hybrid system
The 1.4 BOOSTER engine with 48V SHVS mild hybrid system is also available for the new Vitara. The engine features direct fuel injection for high fuel efficiency and power output and is equipped with an intercooled turbocharger to boost low-end torque. The SHVS mild hybrid system employs an integrated starter generator (ISG) and a high-efficient 48V lithium-ion power pack with excellent charging and power supply performance. In addition to ensuring quick and quiet engine restarts, the ISG provides electric motor assist for fuel-efficient acceleration and generates electricity to charge the batteries when decelerating.
