Which brings us to the Grand Vitara — Suzuki’s flagship offroader. This is the fourth generation of this popular compact SUV, and the most technologically advanced to date. For example, its new 4-mode 4x4 system transmits power to all four wheels at all times, ensuring positive traction regardless of road surface, making it capable both on-road and off-road. It now comes in two model configurations, so that customers can choose based on their requirements. The five-door is directed to families, outdoor enthusiasts and others looking to maximize utility and versatility, while the three-door is aimed at customers wanting nimble agility and efficiency.
