Spain's Suzuki Iberica decided to show how practical the Vitara is by asking 23 people to get in the cabin. This isn't close to the world record of 57 people in an original Volkswagen Beetle, but it's still impressive considering the Vitara's relatively small 2.5 meter (98.4-inch) wheelbase.

During the Suzuki Family Day in Spain celebrating 20 years of Suzuki Iberica, the brand took an example of the Vitara facelift and folded down its rear seats to free more space. Six people sit in the front and another seventeen in the area behind the front seats, which has a volume of 1,119 liters (39,51 cubic feet). Suzuki says all 23 participants are medium-sized youngsters, who complete the challenge with “a fun choreography, a lot of elasticity, and enthusiasm.” Footage from the experiment can be seen at the top of this page.

Launched in 2015, the current fourth-generation Vitara was facelifted in 2018 but is still one of the oldest models in Europe’s subcompact segment. Beginning in March 2020, the model is available only with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine supported by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The peak system output is 127 horsepower (95 kilowatts) and 235 Newton-meters (173 pound-feet) of torque. In selected countries, such as Hungary, France, Poland, and the Netherlands, there’s also a more powerful 1.5-liter hybrid with 115 hp (85 kW).
