I own a manual 2020 booster jet 1.4 Vitara.
They drive very well, nippy, spacious ( for a relatively small SUV), comfortable and you don’t need to worry about a diesel! Mine does 50 mpg average on every fill over the 5 months I’ve owned it. Infotainment will certainly be worse than a VW models, it’s slow to respond and not the best. But it does work ok, just not buttery smooth like a VW system (if that matters)! I also find the steering to be overly light and lacking feel. Other than those two things it’s fab.
Go test drive one, they are surprisingly good and super reliable too. 1.6 petrol in the older model is pretty gutless unless you rev the spuds off of it. Turbo 1.4 is much torquier, quicker and fun to drive.
