Suzuki Vitara - Is The Gearbox a CVT?

Thinking about buying a Suzuki Vitara 1.4 litre turbo all wheel drive and have been unable to find out if the gearbox is a CVT.

  • Its a mixed bag of info out there.I believe it's a traditional 6 speed torque converter automatic slush box.

  • Looks like an auto based off the spec page and Wikipedia.

  • Thank you both.

    I couldn't see how a CVT could work out in a AWD.

      Plenty of Subarus with cvt.

        Including the WRX FFS.

    • Why? It's just another type of transmission that has an input, changes the speed and possibly direction of rotation, and an output.

  • Managed to get hold of my mechanic. It's a torque convertor auto.

    • CVT transmissions have a torque converter.

        CVT transmissions have a torque converter.

        Some do, some don't.

  • I own a Vitara 2020 model, it’s not a CVT.
    The Automatic Transmission is made by Aisin. Just a note, Suzuki says the transmission fluid doesn’t need to be replaced as it “Lifetime”, I will Still replace the fluids at around the 80k mark.

    So far my Vitara ownership has been great. Any questions feel free to ask me.

      I will if I need help. Aisin is owned by Toyota and damn good gearbox.. All the Toyota 4WDs run them as do Pajeros built after 2009.
