SINGAPORE – For nearly four decades, the Suzuki Vitara served as the poor man’s Jeep. It was angular and rugged, and often came with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. Modified variants even raced in the gruelling Dakar Rally.
The battery-powered eVitara is nothing like its forebears. The new model is an urbane front-wheel drive which is unlikely to get its tyres muddy. It looks nothing like the Vitara of old, although it shares some stylistic similarity with the fourth-generation car.
