The introduction of Vitara Series II will mark the end of Vitara RT-X Diesel in the Australian market.  

Suzuki Australia General Manager – Automobile, Mr. Michael Pachota said the introduction of the Vitara Series II presented an opportunity to refine Suzuki's offering to meet the needs of today's buyers.

"The Vitara RT-X Diesel has sold in the Australian market for a number of years. But as consumers continue to make greener living decisions we've listened to the voices of our customers and made an informed decision to discontinue the Vitara RT-X moving forward."

Further adding, "The Vitara that Australian's know and love only gets better. Aesthetically, Vitara Series II is characterised by bold new styling beaming with strength and energy, a choice of new colours plus improved technology. The all-new Vitara is sure to impress" said Pachota.

In Australia, the Vitara has been awarded Drive's Best City SUV for three years running with the Vitara RT-S in 2015, followed by the Vitara Turbo in 2016 & 2017.
Vitara series II will be available for purchase from Q1, 2019 with pricing yet to be determined.
