Equipped for adventure with a powerful 2.5-liter V6 engine, a steel ladder-frame with integrated crumple zones and 5-link, coil spring, rear suspension, the Grand Vitara is your best partner for any getaway - on or off the road. And wherever you roam, there's plenty of comfortable room and lots of space for gear. Easy to pack up and easy to handle, the Grand Vitara can take you to the fun you seek.

Powerful Performance

The Grand Vitara has the power to move you. Whether you're cruising the highway or navigating a mountain pass, the 2.5-liter, V6, 24-valve, Quad Cam engine delivers 155 horsepower and 160 ft.-lb.of torque. According to Road & Track Magazine it's the kind of "V6 spunk that makes this mini-ute sparkle." Road and Track Buyers Guide also loved its powerful performance. "The Grand Vitara boasts a chest-beating 155 hp at 6500 rpm, giving the little SUV accelerative abilities to kick sand in the face of every other 4-door in its class."

Compliance not Complaints

When the pavement stops, the sturdy steel ladder-frame with integrated crumple zones and liquid-filled motor mounts handle the toughest terrain, reducing noise, vibration, and harshness for a smoother off-road ride. The compact wheelbase and rugged independent strut suspension systems make the Grand Vitara especially agile on tight trails while optional shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive and a tight five-speed manual transmission let you dial-in the drive to match a variety of terrain. These are just some of the engineering traits that prompted Automobile Magazine to report, "Any of the Vitaras - the 2-Door, Grand or just plain Vitara - are at their best when bashing around on forest trails or in other off-road scenarios. To us, that's what a four-by-four is all about."
