Vitara wins the Audience Award at the Hungarian Car of the Year 2025

Suzuki's Esztergom-made model, the Vitara, has received another prestigious award. For the second time in its history, it has won the Audience Award at the Hungarian Car of the Year 2025 competition.

The competition, organised by the Motorist Great-Coalition (ANK), Zöldjárműipar.hu and Járműipar.com, saw 63 cars from 26 brands in 14 categories. The Vitara, which is now only available in hybrid form on European markets, won the Audience Award by a comfortable margin among all the models entered, ahead of another Suzuki model, the Swift, which was renewed last year. This is the third time in the competition's six-year history that Suzuki has won the audience award with one of its models.
The Vitara, - which was the first model in the company’s history whose prototype was developed with the involvement of Hungarian engineers - , remains confident at the top of the popularity charts. For years now, it has been taking the title of the best-selling new car in Hungary, alternating with the Suzuki S-CROSS model.

Since 2015, it has won numerous professional and audience awards:
- Hungarian Product Grand Prix (2015),
- Innovation Award (2015),
- Hungarian Car of the Year Competition 2nd prize (2020)
- Hungarian Car of the Year Competition 1st prize (2021)
- Winner of the Hungarian Car of the Year Audience Award(2021).
