Suzuki UK decided the aging Grand Vitara desperately needs a quick freshen up, so they came up with the SZ-T special edition.

To be sold only in the old country from this week on, the SZ-T is based on the five door 1.9DDiS model, the most popular Vitara, and is limited to 500 units garnished with visual tweaks and enhanced specification.

The 1.9-litre DDiS engine in this car is good for 129PS with torque of 300Nm. Not particularly impressive numbers fro a heavy 4×4, but then you get 41.5mpg with emissions of 179g/km to balance things out.

As for the special features, the SZ-T comes with new design front grille, new design 18-inch alloy wheels, unique contrasting seat fabric, Silver coloured roof rails and bonnet side vents, built in turn signal lamps for the door mirrors and, for this Special Edition, a tailgate mounted spare wheel. Cruise Control and keyless entry and start are also included.

Priced at £22,315, the car is available in Quasar Grey, Silky Silver, Blueish Black Pearl,  Phoenix Red Pearl and Nocturne Blue Pearl.
