Suzuki Grand Vitara

Either you go with the flow or you go with the tow 

Suzuki Grand Vitara

After spending a weekend away at the scenic Quaggasklook Dam with boat in tow, I really got to know the Suzuki flagship - the Grand Vitara automatic. For the record, the auto gearbox worked wonders when we were launching the boat at the slipway. There was no handbrake or riding the clutch required, but rather a hassle-free boat launch without the stress usually associated with launching a boat at an unfamiliar slipway. The Suzuki made light work of putting the boat into the water, as well as pulling it out again after the day’s cruising.

Interior layout

The suede and fabric combination seating is very comfortable and the Vitara can easily accommodate four passengers and the driver. To load larger items, simply fold down the 60:40 split rear seats. Interior cabin noise is kept impressively low, an indication of the lengths Suzuki has gone to in making a vehicle that offers the best possible ride. Suzuki has certainly done its homework with noise dampening. You can hardly hear the 2.4-litre VVT (variable valve timing) petrol motor when you’re on the road. The VVT technology improves power and torque to offer 122Kw at 6 000 rpm and 225 Nm at 4 000 rpm.
