The Grand Vitara is one of key Suzuki Saudia models being groomed to capitalize on government plans to aggressively develop the local automotive industry within the next 10 years.

The Grand Vitara features a body structure that blends car and truck chassis designs to provide improved body rigidity, handling, and safety.

The incorporation of a ladder frame design into the SUV's unibody structure enhances the vehicle's off-road and towing capabilities, making it desirable across single and family lifestyles and thus a perfect model for Suzuki's 'Way of Life' corporate slogan.

'The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a solid choice among today's fleet of compact SUVs. It is suitable for drivers who want off-road capability, or comfortable daily driving, or both. This vehicle has proven to be attractive to a wide market and a consistently strong sales generator,'

said Ahmed Al Shamaile, Sales Manager, Suzuki Saudia.

'The Suzuki Grand Vitara combines performance, style, and safety elements to provide the most versatile ride in the Saudi Arabian market. Suzuki has implemented various revisions and additions to this model in response to enthusiastic driver feedback. This SUV reflects our commitment to providing the best and the safest driving experience to an increasingly demanding domestic market,' he added.

Grand Vitara is available in Deluxe, Super Deluxe and Luxury editions, all including a 185-hp 2.7-liter V6 engine.

The SUV is equipped with the Four-Mode full-time, four-wheel-drive system, which offers optimal off-road or asphalt handling. Driving is smooth and precise due to the Grand Vitara's excellent approach, break-over and departure angles, and 7.9 inches of ground clearance in the 4-wheel-drive models.

Drivers can switch to high-range 4H Lock or low-range 4L Lock to engage the center differential lock when traveling off-road or for low-speed power and traction.

The highly-marketable five-seater SUV also features a side-hinged rear door and excellent safety features such as driver- and passenger-depowered air bags; front and rear head restraints; anti lock brakes; and front fog lights in addition to a smart key, aluminum rings and a replaceable steering wheel and other features that brings this vehicle next to many luxurious car categories.
