First bit yes, second bit no. Original Vitara was, from what I can see, 1010kg. Entry-level version of the latest car is 1075kg (or less than an entry-level 2019 Fiesta).The new one's a metre longer than her original and 300kg heavier.
Jimny does sound like the ideal solution in this scenario, but my point was that the current Vitara isn't far off being the MX-5 of SUVs as far as relatively small increases in weight and size are concerned.
