Suzuki Grand Vitara (05 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 14 October 2005 Last Updated: 26 May 2011 Whether you love them or loath them, 'soft-roaders' are here to stay and it's Suzuki who's partly responsible for them. It launched one of the first - the Vitara - back in 1988 and set the soft-roader trend that other manufacturers followed. This third generation model is major step up from the model it replaces. It's stylish, better to drive, and is great value for money, comparing well on price and specification to models offered by Kia, Hyundai and Nissan. It's available as a shortened three-door or the more popular five-door, but both offer impressive off road ability, as well as safe and reassuring handling on road. Between 2008 and 2009 the model was revised with subtle changes to the exterior and a more upmarket cabin. ESP stability control was also made standard on all models. 4 out of 5 Other Suzuki reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Equipment The three-door Grand Vitara has power steering, front electric windows, air conditioning, a CD stereo, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls, outside temperature and fuel consumption display, split/folding rear seats, underfloor boot storage, luggage cover, roof rails and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution.
