‘Kuro’ means ‘black’ in Japanese, so there are no prizes for guessing which colour features on the new special-edition Suzuki Vitara and S-Cross Kuro. On the Vitara Kuro, the alloy wheels, roof rails, roof spoiler, door handles, rear bumpers and boot trim are all painted black. At £28,699 with the manual gearbox, the S-Cross Kuro commands a £400 premium over the ‘Ultra ALLGRIP’ edition it’s based on. The Vitara Kuro costs from £26,199, which is £700 more than the standard car. The S-Cross Kuro returns an average of 49.5mpg while the Vitara Kuro fares slightly better at 52.3mpg.
