Motor Boosterjet К14С-DITC was created on the basis of K-series engines, which were produced in the late 90s. The design is quite simple: an aluminum cylinder block, a Mitsubishi turbocharger, direct injection from Bosch, nozzles are located on the sides.

In general, the engine Boosterjet turned out good, like Suzuki Grand Vitara cars with the prefix S, and without it. There is no factory in Russia where they will collect these cars, so the duties on them will be, which means that the price of such cars will be higher than that of competitors. In Russia, the new Vitara S can already be bought only with an automatic gearbox and in an expensive package. There is a choice of full or front-wheel drive.

If the price for the usual all-wheel drive Vitara with a 6-speed automatic is 1,500,000 rubles, then with a turbocharged engine it will be a bit more expensive. In Europe, the Vitara C with all-wheel drive and manual transmission costs 27,360 euros, which is expensive - about 2,000,000 rubles. Therefore, in Russia it is impossible to make the price for Vitara S the same as in Europe, because they will not be sold very well. In Russia last year, Vitar sold only 20,000 units, and in 2016 only 5500 so far.

The previous generation of Vitara had a frame structure, which means that they have a simple structure, and their reliability is high. These cars still drive around the world very well.

If before there was the American branch of Suzuki, now it does not exist, because it has closed.
