The all-wheel drive car “Suzuki Grand Vitara” is a unique SUV, which embodied all the best qualities of 4x4 jeeps. Half a century of experience of engineers of the Japanese concern "Suzuki" has allowed to create one of the most reliable and at the same time inexpensive four-wheel drive SUVs in the world. During its considerable period of existence, the “Japanese” was modernized only 3 times, and after a long 8-year downtime, the company made a small update to the legendary “Vitara”.
Design review and reviews
Suzuki Grand Vitara 2013 in the exterior was only partially updated. At first glance, there are no obvious signs of restyling at all. However, they are. Basically, the front bumper and radiator grille were redone . The latter received a chrome trim and 2 ribs bent in the center. The company emblem flaunts on these bends. The bumper received a pronounced trapezoidal line circled around the new air intake. On each side - round "cannons" foglights, glowing in the style of "angel eyes." If we compare all these changes with the “Suzuki Grand Vitara”, which was in 2005, we can say with confidence that the restyled version of the “Japanese” began to look much more expressive and even more aggressive. There are no hints that this is a SUV.
Suzuki Grand Vitara - interior reviews
Initially, this SUV was not distinguished by luxury and pathos, and not only externally, but also inside. Even after a deep modernization in 2005, it did not look like "stuffed" with electronics "Prado" after restyling. At the same time, the novelty boasts excellent ergonomics and a convenient arrangement of controls on the center console.
In the maximum configuration, the SUV is even equipped with a Garmin navigation system with a 6.1-inch screen. It is worth noting that it was due to the lack of excess electronics that he became the most affordable SUV in its class. Now we can cite many cases when a head-mounted electronics-stuffed car in the maximum configuration costs almost as much as two of the same in the basic version.
