What is the Suzuki Grand Vitara?

The Grand Vitara is a compact SUV from Suzuki’s long-running four-wheel-drive line. It combines a family-friendly cabin with the ability to travel beyond paved roads, reflecting the brand’s experience with compact 4x4 vehicles. The name became part of the Vitara series in 1998, and the Grand Vitara developed into a roomier, more substantial SUV.

The first generation retained a rugged four-wheel-drive character while offering more space and comfort. The generation introduced in 2005 kept an integrated ladder frame and added a four-mode four-wheel-drive system, balancing off-road ability with more composed road manners.

Generations and changes

The first generation ran from 1999 to 2005 in the market-year record. It was Suzuki’s compact 4x4, offered in shorter and longer body styles across different markets.

The second generation began in 2006. It continued in North America through 2013, while European and UK model years extended through 2015. It brought a four-mode four-wheel-drive system and independent suspension while retaining the model’s SUV character.

Engines, power and fuel consumption

The EU range recorded from 2010 to 2016 covers 1.6 L to 3.2 L engines, with power from 78 kW (106 PS) to 124 kW (169 PS). The listed fuel types include diesel, petrol, LPG and other. UK versions from 2000 to 2015 span 1.6 L to 2.7 L engines. France’s versions from 2012 to 2014 are diesel, with 95 kW (129 PS).

The lowest stated UK and French consumption figures are both 6.6 L/100 km on NEDC. In the United States, the lowest EPA figure is 10.7 L/100 km, or 22 MPG combined. Canada’s lowest figure is 11.3 L/100 km on the NRCan 5-cycle test. European NEDC, US EPA and Canadian 5-cycle procedures differ, so the results are not directly comparable.

Where was the Grand Vitara sold?

The Grand Vitara was sold in the European Union, the UK, France, the United States and Canada. The listed years begin in 1999 in North America and in 2000 in the UK. EU registrations show diesel among the model’s popular versions, while US and Canadian entries cover petrol versions.
