The brand-new Grand Vitara is the ideal blend of design, comfort, and functionality. It has a well-known K-15 engine from Suzuki. However, the engine is not the sole feature of the Grand Vitara.

Both the GL and GLX versions will let customers choose between a 5-speed manual or a full-speed automatic transmission. The grip or four-wheel drive model will only have a 6-speed automatic transmission.

In typical Suzuki fashion, the grand Vitara will come equipped with several high-end safety and luxury features, such as 17-inch alloy wheels and LED projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights, typically found in luxury vehicles.

The Grand Vitara provides a roomy, cosy cabin with plenty of space. You have keyless entry, a push-button start, and numerous safety features, including ABS with EBD, ESP, and six airbags.

Classy Hatchback Suzuki Baleno

By

The Suzuki Baleno is a classy hatchback with plenty of room and a brand-new platform. Learn more about the 8 aspects of this new model that we at CMH Suzuki Ballito find most appealing.

Classy Hatchback - Suzuki Baleno
Classy Hatchback

Styling

The Baleno’s liquid flow design, motivated by the ripples and motion of sound waves, creates a creates a beautifully sleek hatchback with the traditional appearance of a sedan.

Classy Hatchback with New Platform

This distinctive “skeleton” gives the car strength and flexibility while being incredibly lightweight—up to 200 kg lighter than some of its more immediate competitors. The platform also has an incredible impact on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Classy Hatchback
Suzuki Baleno interior

Fuel Economy

The Baleno surpasses the already renowned fuel economy of Suzuki. Performance is greatly influenced by weight, and this car’s new lightweight frame and streamlined design make it the most fuel-efficient yet.

Spacious

The interior is incredibly spacious thanks to several clever “hacks,” like extending the wheelbase.

Performance

Because of the Baleno’s brilliant other changes and improvements, such as being lightweight and aerodynamic, the model’s 1.4L engine is much stronger and works much harder.

Features

The Baleno offers excellent value for the money with improved lighting, moving from HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps to the first LED rear headlamps.

Concept Car

The Baleno was originally designed as the IK-2 and displayed at the Geneva Runway Show, similar to runway fashion. The concept car and on-street model are remarkably similar, which explains why the Baleno looks so contemporary.

Touchscreen Infotainment System

The 2019 Suzuki Baleno is a gorgeous hatch, and the GLX version now includes a factory-installed 7″ touchscreen infotainment system as standard equipment. It’s great because it has Android Auto and Apple Car Play and is easy to use.

Lightweight frame and streamlined design

Our description of the car does not do it justice. Visit CMH Suzuki Ballito for first-hand experience and, depending on your schedule, a first test drive.

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest – The Importance of a Test Drive

By

What is the importance of a test drive? A test drive is your opportunity to make sure all you have seen, read, and heard about the vehicle suits your needs perfectly and is, in fact, everything you hoped it would be.

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest has compiled a guideline of what to expect on a test drive.

Importance of a Test Drive
Importance of a Test Drive – Suzuki Hillcrest product range

Firstly

  • Sit in the driver’s seat and adjust it( and the mirrors) to the perfect position for you. The seating position is vital for safer and more comfortable driving.
  • Go through all the switches and controls. Understand what each one does and ensure you can reach them easily without taking your eyes off the road. Check forward, rearward, and side vision – identify where your blind spots are.

Importance of a Test Drive (The Drive)

  • Your drive route should include urban, rural, and highway terrains, preferably on familiar roads.
  • The purpose of the test drive is for you to get a good feel of the full functionality of the car and check for any defects.

Test Drive Tips

  • If you are in a manual car, check how hard it is to push in the clutch. Can you easily control the release?
  • Is the pull-off smooth? This applies equally to an automatic.
  • In a manual, do the gears slot seamlessly and accurately into place? Are you comfortable with the placement and action of the gear lever?
  • In an automatic, are the changes up (and down) smooth?
  • Do the brakes stop the car smoothly?
  • All of this should transpire on urban roads, in traffic, and with the kind of stop/start driving you would experience daily.
Suzuki models are ready for any terrain

Moving up to a rural road, you can check:

  • How does the car feel over bumpy surfaces often found on rural roads? Does it ‘iron’ out the bumps, or are you being shaken about like a leaf?
  • When you turn into a corner, does the steering respond accurately with the car going exactly where you have pointed it?
  • Is there a lot of body roll during cornering?
  • Does the seat keep you firmly in place?

The highway drive is an opportunity to check all of the listed items at a higher speed as well as look at:

  • How is the vehicle affected by side wind?
  • Does it track straight and true, or does it tend to ‘wander’ on the highway?
  • Are you easily able to maintain highway speeds?

Suzuki Vitara

This will give you an indication of how you and the vehicle you desire will happily ‘gel’ together for many kilometres of motoring.

ALL IN WITH THE ALL-NEW SUZUKI ERTIGA

By

I feel the all-new Suzuki Ertiga is the best choice for an all-round 7-seater in South Africa, and here’s why.

Apart from being one of the most affordable 7-seaters on the market, the 1.5-litre engine certainly does not lag in power. Compared to its predecessor, the new Suzuki Ertiga is 6kgs lighter.

All-New Suzuki Ertiga
All-New Suzuki Ertiga

The fuel economy of the Ertiga is most impressive. CMH Suzuki Pinetown achieved 6.2l/100km, which is very economical for a 7-seater. Because of these stats, it not only appeals to Uber drivers but to anyone looking for an affordable, compact 7-seater vehicle.

Ertiga interior

Moving into the interior, the latest Ertiga boasts practicality with cupholders and storage spaces for all its passengers. Furthermore, Suzuki added extra seating space for comfort.

CMH Suzuki Pinetown also noticed that the ventilation system is piped to the front cupholders ensuring your cold drinks remain cold. With the 3rd-row seats dropped, you can expect a massive load space for all your storage solutions.

A 7-seater with ample boot space

The cockpit of the GL Model offers a simple yet elegant design with a 7” touchscreen infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and . Android Auto.

It also supports USB and AUX while sporting steering controls to allow the driver to focus on the road. It is also worth noting the standard features across the Ertiga range; all-around electric windows, rear parking sensors, A 12V power outlet for the 2nd-row passengers and ESP (Electronic Stability Program).

All-New Suzuki Ertiga

The Suzuki Ertiga also includes a 5-year/200 000km Manufacturers Mechanical Warranty and a 4-year/60 000km Service Plan. Book a test drive with CMH Suzuki Pinetown and make this family 7-seater the epitome of your next road trip.

When CMH Suzuki Pinetown popped the hood, we found the new Dualjet 1.0 K10C engine, which proved successful in the Suzuki Celerio. Even though the S-Presso dropped a kW (Kilowatt), it now boasts better fuel consumption than its predecessor. CMH Suzuki Pinetown took it for a spin and averaged a fuel consumption of 4.6l/100km on the manual version, which is an improvement from the going-out model.

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest – Guide On How To Change A Flat Tyre

By

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest has compiled a step-by-step guide on how to change a flat tyre. Tyre punctures are the bane of every driver’s life. They demand immediate attention, regardless of where you are and what you had otherwise planned.

Whether or not a tyre is repairable depends entirely on the size and location of the puncture and the internal damage resulting from driving with a deflated tyre.

Step-By-Step How To Change A Flat Tyre:

Prioritise Your Safety

Flat tyres often happen in the most inconvenient locations. You will need to find a safe spot to pull over should this happen to you. If possible, have the flat tyre facing the verge side of the road instead of the traffic side. Once safely parked, put on your hazards, put your vehicle in neutral/park and pull up the handbrake.

Place Your Emergency Triangle in Plain Sight

In the event of a flat tyre, place your emergency triangle approximately 20 meters behind your vehicle on the road.

Place your triangle in plain sight

Find Objects to Support Your Brakes

Look for bricks, small rocks or logs and place them behind the other wheels to secure the vehicle and prevent it from rolling.

Retrieve Your Spare Wheel and Jack

Get your spare wheel, jack and wheel spanner from their respective compartments. They vary from car to car.

Look for a Suitable Spot to Place Your Jack

Look for the markings or notches on the metal frame under the vehicle near the tyre that needs changing. Place the jack and raise the wheel just enough to release vehicle weight.

Place your jack under

Loosen the Wheel Nuts and Remove the Damaged Wheel

Turn the wheel spanner anti-clockwise to remove the hubcap and partially loosen the wheel nuts. Proceed to jack the vehicle up high enough off the ground to remove the wheel, remove the wheel nuts, carefully remove the flat tyre and place it under the car in case your jack fails.

Loosen nuts & bolts

Proceed to Change Your Tyre

Align the spare wheel rim with the wheel bolts and slot them into place, and put back the wheel nuts tightening the nuts in a star pattern (don’t tighten the wheel nut next to the one you’ve just worked on, but rather the one just opposite it) to ensure even torque with your hands till they nice and snug.

Remove your flat wheel from under your vehicle to lower and remove your jack. Double-check that the wheel nuts are snug with the wheel spanner.

Place Your Jack and Damaged Wheel in Their Respective Compartments

Place the flat wheel, jack, wheel spanner and emergency triangle into the boot. Take the damaged wheel for repairs at your earliest convenience.

How To Maintain Your Vehicle’s Air-Con with CMH Suzuki Hillcrest

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest is here to help you with your Suzuki’s Air-con Maintenance. Today’s vehicles practically come standard with air-conditioning, and on a hot summer day, it is one of life’s great pleasures to feel a welcome breeze of ice-cold air blowing through the vents.

How an Air-Con works

An air-conditioner operates in a closed system with a refrigerant as the working fluid – this means that the incoming hot air never actually touches the refrigerant but is cooled indirectly by an evaporator/radiator in the airstream.

The engine’s auxiliary belt powers the compressor and compresses the refrigerant gas that now heats up above atmospheric temperatures. The hot, compressed refrigerant then passes through the condenser to filter the excess heat, and the gas condenses and passes through the fluid container. The liquid refrigerant then evaporates through the expansion valve, cooling the gas dramatically and passing through the evaporator in the climate-control system’s airstream, cooling the incoming air. The refrigerant continues back to the compressor to restart the whole process.

What could go wrong

Your vehicle’s air-con should provide ice-cold relief within five minutes. It is best to evaluate the air blowing from the vents using the back of your hand. If the air is not cold by then, immediately switch off the air-con and get the system inspected.

A lot can go wrong with the air-con system, from gas leaks to failure of bearings and seals and blockages in the pipes or sensor failures. You can take some comfort with the fact that the last component to fail is likely to be the expensive compressor itself. A lack of lubrication is the main reason an air-con compressor fails when the gas leaks out, so does the oil, and, thus, lubrication qualities are lost, leading to failure.

Vehicle air-con care

Run your vehicle’s aircon for at least 30 minutes weekly to prevent expensive breakdowns. This action lubricates the system and prevents the bearings on the compressor from corroding at touching surfaces.

To avoid air-con odours, change the pollen filter regularly. Also, service the air-con once a year, now that the summer temperatures are setting in and it’s getting hotter.

Suzuki dash and air-con vents

Book your Suzuki for an air-con treatment and service at CMH Suzuki Hillcrest service department to prevent compressor replacement.

Proper air-con operation

The cabin air is usually hotter than the ambient temperature when a vehicle is stationary in the sun. First, open all windows and switch the fan speed to the maximum to expel the hot air. Then close the windows and allow the air-con to do its job. When the cabin air is cooler than the ambient temperature, the process can speed up by employing the recirculation function to recycle the cabin until the cockpit is at the desired temperature.

3 Tips on Defensive Driving – CMH Suzuki Pinetown

By

With the festive season around the corner, it is advisable to be aware of your surroundings and how to protect yourself and your passengers from aggressive drivers.

3 Tips on Defensive Driving
CMH Suzuki Pinetown – 3 tips on defensive driving

Aggressive drivers and their reckless driving habits are responsible for almost one-third of all traffic accidents. Unfortunately, many reckless drivers are weaving in and out of traffic without consideration for other drivers on the road. So with that in mind, here are 3 tips on defensive driving to help lower the risk when you get behind the wheel.

Be aware of your surroundings

Increased awareness of your surroundings will enable you to predict what other drivers might do on the road. In the worst-case scenario, it will be easier to avoid potential risk as it would catch you off guard.

Be aware of your surroundings

Maintain a safe distance

Chances are, you or someone you know have come across ‘Brake Checking’ – this is when a vehicle ahead of you slams its brakes and thus forces a reaction out of you. CMH Suzuki Pinetown suggests you follow the 3-second rule, picking out a marking and counting 3 seconds. If it is still visible, then there’s probably enough following distance. But also take into consideration road conditions.

Avoid distractions

Driving always requires your 100% attention, stay focused and ascertain you are well-rested before getting into the driver’s seat. CMH Suzuki Pinetown recommends at least 7 hours of sleep before you start a journey, with 15-minute breaks every 2 hours, especially during night driving.

How to Check and Maintain Your Vehicle’s Fluid Levels

How To Check Your Vehicle’s Fluid Levels: A Quick Guide

engine-coolant

Keeping your car healthy doesn’t require a mechanic every time! Did you know that checking your vehicle’s fluid levels regularly can help prevent breakdowns and costly repairs?

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest has put together a handy guide for five essential fluid checks you can easily do yourself between scheduled dealership services. This will help you ensure your car is running smoothly and safely.

Checking your engine oil level

The vehicle engine must be cold and not running. Look for a yellow, red, or brightly coloured loop/hood that looks like a handle. Have a cloth/rag handy and pull the oil dipstick out of the tube. Wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth/rag and insert it fully back into its tube. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the markings indicated on the dipstick.

car-steering-fluid

Engine/Radiator coolant

The vehicle engine needs to be cold and not running (do not open the coolant or radiator cover when the engine temperature is hot/high), locate the reservoir for the coolant recovery system. It is usually a translucent plastic container mounted near the radiator. The reservoir will have upper(hot) and lower(cold) level markings moulded into it. If the fluid is below the lower mark, add coolant up to that point, but not any higher.

window-washer-water

Window washer fluid

This usually has a sign that looks like a water fountain. If the level is low just fill the bottle with water until the fluid nears the top. We advise using bug-remover washer fluid in summer.

Power-steering fluid

The remotely mounted translucent plastic power-steering bottle will have minimum/maximum indicators moulded into it. Make sure that the power-steering fluid is always between those two levels, and not too full or too low.

brake-fluid

Brake fluid

The brake fluid reservoir is usually on top of the master cylinder at the rear of the engine compartment on the driver side. Locate the translucent plastic reservoir with upper and lower-level markings moulded into it. If the level is near or below the lower mark, have an auto repair shop inspect the brake system for leaks or wear as soon as possible.

Just like we need water and oil to function, your vehicle relies on various vehicle fluid levels to operate smoothly and avoid breakdowns. But how can you tell if your vehicle fluid levels are at the right level? Don’t worry, CMH Suzuki Hillcrest is here to help! Regular maintenance checks, which include checking your vehicle’s fluid levels, are crucial in ensuring your car’s performance and longevity.
