The new Grand Vitara
The new 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara brings improvement in terms of a safer, more powerful and more economic automobile as well as a retouch in its appearance.
PERFORMANCE
Grand Vitara’s is a 2,4 liter four cylinder engine – available in 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic - replacing the old 1,6 and 2 liter units whereas Grand Vitara Prestige’s is a 3,2 liter V6 engine. Both new petrol engines for the Grand Vitara, making them both smoother and more quiet automobiles. The 2,4 liter engine has a consumption of 8,8L/100km whereas the 3,2 engine has a 10,5L/100km consumption.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
Suzuki has come up with some other changes regarding comfort and safety while driving the Grand Vitara. These include an Anti-lock Brake System as well as an Electronic Stability Program with traction control which is meant to help the driver maintain control, an automatic lighting system which means that the Grand Vitara has a sensor on the dash that detects when it gets too dark and switches to full beam or adjusts the lights for better visibility. In addition I must mention the fact that the Grand Vitara has a roomy interior especially taking into consideration the fact that the rear seats of the Grand Vitara are tumble fold in case of extra storing space needed. Concerning safety I should also mention the fact that Grand Vitara has as standard equipment side and curtain airbag.
Suzuki Grand Vitara is available in four trims Base, Premium, XSport and Luxury.
PRICE
The updated 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara boasts about being in the top 10 most affordable SUVs at a starting price of $18,800 (a price which does no include tax, title or destination taxes so you won’t get the Grand Vitara with just $18,800 taking into consideration also the fact that some of the equipment and accessories are optional).
