Grand Vitara Offers Distinctive Experience

SUV Comes With Distinct Styling

If you’re looking for a stylish SUV that won’t break the bank, the Suzuki Grand Vitara may fit the bill. From the base price, at just under $20K to the luxury model at around $25K this car is affordable for most people and the gas mileage is affordable as well. And, with impressive underhood horsepower, even the car enthusiast should be pleased.

The Grand Vitara incorporates a unibody chassis and adds a ladder frame construction for more rigidity. The exterior hood is sloped atop dual projector headlamps. Fender flares and built in fog lamps give the impression of a much larger SUV. The swing open rear door is right hinged for easy loading but it opens the wrong side for curb access.

The 2.7-liter power plant is adequate, producing 184 pound feet of torque. It features a dual overhead cam with a self-adjusting timing chain, not a replaceable belt. Variable induction intake increases low speed torque for more power. One downside of the Grand Vitara during test week was its fuel mileage. I averaged just below 16 miles per gallon in city and highway driving with lots of hilly terrain. Four cylinder engines are not available this year.

The Grand Vitara offers an extended powertrain warranty of 7 year, 100,000 miles as a standard feature. This new Suzuki SUV is bound to be a powerful sales pusher. Look for the Suzuki Grand Vitara to hit dealerships in 2006.
