Eleven years on the current-generation Suzuki Grand Vitara still claims to be the king of small-budget, mid-sized SUV practicality with big off-roading capabilities. But has it evolved enough to keep pace with the times?
Suzuki's three-door Grand Vitara delivers fun and genuine off-road ability. Be prepared, however, for a ride that could leave you shaken not stirred, says JOSHUA DOWLING.
It has a big name to live up to and an off-roading heritage to maintain. Fortunately, the three-door 'mini' Grand Vitara has the build quality - and the four-wheel-driving ability - to stay out of the shadows, says JONATHAN HAWLEY.
A luxury version of the Suzuki Vitara has been unveiled in India. Although it’s not coming to Australia, it provides a pointer to the technology coming to next-generation models due Down Under.
A new Suzuki Grand Vitara is definitely on the way inside the next few years, but don’t expect the next-generation model to retain the current car’s comparatively hardcore off-road abilities.
