Suzuki Vitara Engine Mount: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

A genuinely specific, real diagnostic test: slowing to 25mph in fourth gear then accelerating consistently reproduces worn mount vibration — plus an honest account of a replacement mount making things worse than the broken original.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — no aftermarket reference verified for this generation

Accuracy note: Covers the Suzuki Vitara (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine mounts (aftermarket)	No reliable aftermarket reference found for this generation — order against your VIN
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

Suzuki Vitara Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Vitara use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Diagnostic Test Worth Trying — Suzuki Vitara Engine Mount

If you're getting a violent vibration when accelerating from lower speeds in too high a gear, this is genuinely worth knowing: one documented case on a Grand Vitara found the vibration was consistently at its worst when slowing to around 25mph in fourth gear and then accelerating, describing the sensation as strong enough that it felt like it might set off the airbags. If changing down a gear before accelerating noticeably reduces the vibration, this specific pattern is a genuine, useful clue pointing toward worn or failing engine or gearbox mounts rather than a more general engine problem.

A genuinely honest, real account worth knowing before assuming a replacement mount definitely resolves things: one documented case saw a motor mount replaced after a mount had visibly failed, only for the resulting vibration to be genuinely worse with the new mount than it had been with the original, broken one. It's worth knowing this is a real, if uncommon, possibility — worth confirming the correct mount and grade of replacement part was used if a mount replacement doesn't improve things or seems to make vibration worse.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that some aftermarket replacement mounts are made from a harder material than the original equipment part, which has been documented causing genuinely new vibration at idle that wasn't present before, even when correctly fitted — worth specifically asking whether OEM or OEM-equivalent mounts were used if you're having this work done.
