The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a solid choice among compact SUVs. It's suitable for anyone who wants off-road capability or needs to manage the daily drive in a comfortable, competent manner.
For 2009 the Grand Vitara is offered in four trims: Base, Premium, XSport and Luxury. New for 2009 the standard engine is a 166-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder available with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Also new for 2009 is an upgraded 230-hp 3.2-liter V6 matched with either a five-speed manual or automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and Suzuki's 4-Mode, full-time 4WD system with transfer case lock and low-range is optional. Safety features include side-impact and side-curtain airbags, 4-wheel ventilated disc anti-lock brakes, and an electronic stability system with traction control.
The 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara carries over from 2008 with new engines, an updated front grille and bumper, and interior improvements.
