The car, now available, belongs to the third generation of Suzuki. The first Suzuki cars appeared about fifty years ago. Over the years, the car went through several modernizations, as a result of which several models of this SUV were created, one of the most famous brands among them was Suzuki Grand Vitara Owner reviews, naming such positive qualities of the car as an automatic transmission, permanent all-wheel drive and a security system, note some disadvantages.
For example, a low landing, due to which the car sometimes gets on a bump and you have to dig it out, and a stiff suspension, which does not at all cause a desire to go off-road at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour. But the permanent all-wheel drive Suzuki Grand Vitara with a lower gear is just a gift for those who like to ride in the mountains. By the way, the Suzuki Grand Vitara drive has a sufficiently high reliability for off-road driving.
Dynamics and ease of driving are achieved using a frameless design and independent rear suspension. The body consists of a rigid frame and crumple zones that absorb shock energy, and shockproof beams are installed in the doors of the car. A set of airbags: two front and two side curtain airbags, ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD brake force distribution system, three-point seat belts and special fastening elements for child seats - all this is equipped with Suzuki Grand Vitara Owner reviews say that the car has an increased system safety, and for drivers this is one of the main indicators.
However, it is necessary to mention the Suzuki Grand Vitara four-wheel drive. Owner reviews also note the excellent operation of the stove, from which warm air blows almost immediately, unlike other cars that can not warm up a large interior in extreme cold.
The interior of the car is made without frills, trimmed with pleasant to the touch skin. Doors and seats are also trimmed with leather. The seats do not rattle and do not creak, heated, but there is no regulator, so first they heat up so that it becomes uncomfortable, then they heat less.
Cars assembled in Japan and destined for Europe are supplied to the Russian market. Suzuki Grand Vitara is available in three- and five-door versions. Grand Vitara has a permanent four-wheel drive, the body is a carrier, and the suspension of all wheels is independent.
The three-door shortened model does not have a differential lock, and in the “razdatka” there is no lowering row. Models assembled for sale in Europe are equipped with two gasoline engines (106 hp 1.6-liter and two-liter 140 hp) and one 1.9-liter diesel. and power 120 hp In Russia, cars are sold only with gasoline engines, which can be paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed hydromechanical gearbox.
There is also a Suzuki Grand Vitara automatic - it's fully loaded. Well, with the automatic transmission Suzuki Grand Vitara, the reviews of the owners say so, after restyling it became much better. Indeed, on the updated Suzuki Grand Vitara, the machine began to work much better, without a strain, but it still remained four-speed.
And another significant drawback of this car is the high fuel consumption in the city - 13 liters per 100 kilometers. Another disadvantage is the lack of stability of the car at speeds above 120 km / h and the fact that it’s not very convenient to sit in the rear seats.
