Narrow enough for the village, capable enough for the track behind it. Pick the exact Suzuki you want.
Greek islands set a trap: the roads are narrow enough to want a small car and rough enough to want a capable one, and most brands make you choose. Suzuki is the one that does both. The cars are light, which makes them feel nimble and cheap to fuel, and several models offer AllGrip four-wheel drive in a body no wider than a hatchback. A Jimny will go where a Jeep cannot fit. On Sync you see which specific model and drivetrain you are getting.
A Swift or Vitara will cross the country without drama and cost very little in fuel doing it, because these are among the lightest cars in their classes. The Jimny is the exception: it is geared for low-speed capability rather than motorway cruising, gets loud above 100 and is tiring over long distances. Plan a Jimny week around short road legs. Check the daily kilometre allowance on the listing before any long route.
This is one of the cheapest brands to run on the platform. Light weight does most of the work: a Swift sits near 5 litres per 100km without hybrid assistance, and the mild-hybrid versions do better again. Suzuki has been in Greece a long time, so servicing is cheap and available in island towns as well as cities, which matters more than usual if you are renting somewhere small for a fortnight.
Equipment is adequate rather than generous, and the interiors use hard plastics that are easy to clean and hard to damage. What you get instead is lightness: the steering is quick, the car changes direction willingly and you never feel like you are wrestling it through a village. The Jimny is the outlier again, with an upright, boxy cabin, excellent visibility of the corners and a ride that reminds you it has a separate ladder chassis underneath.
The drivetrain is the thing that decides whether a Suzuki suits your week, and it is invisible in a rental category. A front-wheel-drive Vitara and an AllGrip Vitara look identical and behave completely differently on a gravel climb. On Sync the listing names the specific car and you can ask the host directly in the trip conversation. Many hosts can deliver it to an address you choose for a set fee, you pay by card, and no deposit is held on a standard-value car.
The Swift is the city car, light and genuinely enjoyable to drive for the money. The Ignis is taller and tiny, unusually easy to park. The Vitara is the family crossover and the most useful all-rounder, available with AllGrip four-wheel drive. The S-Cross is the larger crossover with a bigger boot. The Jimny is the specialist: a proper small off-roader that goes places nothing else its size can. The live list shows what is free on your dates.
If you want four-wheel drive, look for the word AllGrip on the listing, because the same model is sold both ways and they look the same. The Jimny has only four usable seats on paper and a boot that holds almost nothing with the rear seats up, so treat it as a two-person car with luggage. And these are light cars, which is why they feel nimble, but it also means they are more affected by crosswinds on exposed coastal roads and on ferries.

For two people, yes, and it is the best car on the platform for reaching a beach at the end of a bad track. For four people with luggage, no: the rear seats are minimal and the boot behind them holds almost nothing. Book a Jimny when access is the problem you are solving, and a Vitara when you also need space.
AllGrip is Suzuki's four-wheel-drive system, offered on the Vitara and S-Cross. You need it if your week involves steep gravel, wet mountain roads or a dirt track to where you are staying. You do not need it for asphalt, light gravel or a flat unpaved car park. The same model exists without it, so check the listing rather than assuming from the shape of the car.
Swift if the week is cities and asphalt and it is one or two of you. It is cheaper, lighter and more fun on a good road. Vitara if you need a real boot, four seats that adults can use, or any chance of rough ground, especially in an AllGrip version. The Vitara costs a little more per day and removes most of the situations where a small car would stop you.
Yes, and they are a common choice among hosts who rent monthly for that reason. The engineering is simple, there is less on these cars to go wrong than on a more complex rival, and servicing is available in small towns and on islands rather than only in Athens and Thessaloniki. For a long rental somewhere remote, that availability matters more than the badge.
Rent exactly the model you want from local Hosts and have it delivered where it suits you.
