Suzuki has unveiled two new limited-edition versions of its Vitara SUV for 2024.
The Vitara Beat and Vitara Beat Turbo are two cut-priced versions of the Vitara model, which provide more equipment for a cheaper asking price, coming in at $30,990 (before on-road costs) and $35,990 (before on-road costs) respectively.
That’s $1000 cheaper than the entry-level automatic model, while the Beat Turbo is $500 less than the entry-level Turbo model.
Despite the lower price point the Vitara is still more expensive than key rivals such as the MG ZS that starts at $23,990 drive-away and the turbocharged MG ZST, which kicks off at $26,990 drive-away.
Both Beat variants get some sleek exterior upgrades such as a bonnet protector, front and rear window weather shields, along with a snazzy beat decal alongside the side of the car and genuine carpet floor mats.
Their engines remain unchanged. The standard model gets a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with an output of 86kW and 156Nm. The turbo model gets a four-cylinder 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an output of 103kW and 220Nm.

Beat models are only available in front-wheel drive and an automatic six-speed transmission.
The Vitara crossover is a seasoned veteran in the highly-competitive small SUV segment, having been on sale in Australia since 2015. It received a mid-life facelift in 2019.
Just 1326 Vitaras have been sold in the first half of 2024, far fewer than the more affordable MG ZS and brand new Hyundai Kona, which have sold 11,809 units and 8,948 respectively.
