Review: Suzuki's SUV takes different path
The 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara looks like a mainstream, compact sport utility vehicle designed for paved roads. But it’s a capable off-roader, too.
Adding to the appeal, the Grand Vitara — 14.7 feet long with a truck-like ladder frame, as well as four-wheel drive with locking center differential in uplevel models — comes with a 100,000-mile/seven-year limited warranty on its powertrain. The warranty is fully transferrable to succeeding vehicle owners.

Best of all, a new Grand Vitara has a starting retail price of $19,894 with 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, manual transmission and two-wheel drive. The lowest-priced Grand Vitara with automatic starts at $21,544, while the lowest starting retail price for a four-wheel drive Grand Vitara is $22,994. Only an automatic transmission is offered with four-wheel drive. The Grand Vitara with uplevel V-6 engine is much pricier, starting retail at $26,344. The Japan-built Grand Vitara is a bit of a throwback to earlier days when SUVs were designed for rugged, off-road use. Most competitors moved away from this positioning over the years as they refined the ride and comfort of their vehicles and transformed them into tall-riding, family-friendly station wagons. |
