At the end of 1997, the Japanese concern Suzuki presented to the public a new successor to the Vitara. It was a Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV. It was the word "Grand" that played a decisive role in the name. Translated from Latin, grand means "majestic." Well, let's take a look at how majestic the Grand Suzuki Vitara has become over its entire 16-year period of existence.

In addition, the buyer was offered a 6-cylinder 144-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. Used as a transmissioneither a four-speed "automatic" or a five-speed "mechanics".

In appearance, there is not a single hint that this is a restyling, even if deep. The design of the jeep was developed from scratch, so the body of the Suzuki Grand Vitara (including technical specifications) has also changed significantly. A five-seater modification appeared, and the three-seater increased by a couple of centimeters in length and width. The ergonomics of the cabin have been noticeably improved. The quality of finishing materials has also increased significantly.
II generation (restyling)
The next update of the SUV took place in 2008. True, the changes were much less radical than last time. In the exterior, the front bumper and exterior rear-view mirrors have changed a bit. The latter received new turn signal repeaters. Behind the spare wheel disappeared, which was located on the trunk lid for 9 long years. As for the technical part, two new engines have appeared in the Grand Suzuki Vitara restyled car line. The interior has been minimally modified.

The Grand Suzuki Vitara III SUVs appeared two years after restyling, that is, in 2010.
Further, in 2013, there was anotherfeistiling. The car appeared before motorists in a new look - another radiator grille appeared, in which, instead of the previous plastic cells of a multifaceted shape, several chrome-plated ribs are used, curved 90 degrees to the center. Added a little relief to the hood and front bumper. Otherwise, the Japanese retained the old look of the SUV as it was on previous versions of the Suzuki Grand Vitara cars.
