How to Open the Tailgate of the New Suzuki Vitara

Model: Suzuki Vitara LY - Years 2015-2024
Part: Body

The new Suzuki Vitara features an innovative design that clearly distinguishes it from previous generations: the lines are more pronounced and angular, resembling an SUV rather than a true off-roader. The tailgate release button is located just below the manufacturer's badge, practically at the centre of the number plate. Once you press the button, the electric lock releases, allowing you to lift the tailgate, guiding it slightly until the gas struts activate to assist with the lifting. The boot is not particularly spacious but is equipped with a convenient double floor.
