Did some online searching and this is what i came up with...

Suzuki Grand Vitara Reviews:-


The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a 4-door, 5-passenger compact SUV. The Suzuki Grand Vitara comes in three different trim styles: Base Grand Vitara, Grand Vitara XSport, and the Grand Vitara Luxury. When introduced the Grand Vitara is equipped with a 2.7-liter, V6, 185 hp engine that averages 18 to 30 mpg. The Suzuki Grand Vitara trims come with 16" steel wheels on the Base, 16" alloy wheels on the XSport, and 17" alloy wheels on the Luxury. The Suzuki Grand Vitara models come with an abundance of standard features including: power outlets, driver/passenger airbags, front side airbags, side head curtain airbags, side guard door beams, emergency fuel shut-off, full power accessories, traction and stability control, tire detail, exterior rear mounted tire carrier, keyless remote, interval and rear wipers, folding and power adjustable exterior mirror, tinted glass, skid plate, climate control, rear seating heat and air unit, cruise, trip computer, outside temperature gauge, tilt steering, automatic headlights, a stereo entertainment system with single CD player, mounted steering wheel controls, 4 speakers, and MP3 playback. The XSport and Luxury Grand Vitara upgrades to 6-disc CD player with changer and 7 speakers.

The upgraded Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport adds other standard features such as privacy glass, roof rack, and the SmartPass® keyless starter system. The top-of-the-line Suzuki Grand Vitara Luxury has all the above mentioned features plus a powered sunroof, leather seating, heated front seating, and wood trim.
Features for Trinidad may Vary!

The good: The 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara feels like a small, well-built SUV and comes with an MP3- and WMA-capable six-disc changer. Its keyless start system is very convenient.

The bad: The Grand Vitara doesn't distinguish itself on the tech front, offering neither navigation nor Bluetooth cell phone integration. Its transmission options only offer five speeds.

The bottom line: In too many ways, the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara is average, though it feels solid and will get you from point A to point B in good shape. As a tech car, it gets outstripped by the competition.

So that's why the installments advertised were so low($3089 I think) on the ones on display in Trincity Mall. Still with sunroof/rims/brush bars/roof rack/running boards. not a bad price. Wifey want one real bad!

:shock: :shock: $3089 installment is low? :shock: :shock: Allyuh seriously in a different class dread! I believe the 2.0 is in the range of about +/- 200k.

By the way - is the 2.0 coming with rear wheel discs now? I felt that that was a bad miss, cause most others in that class coming with rear discs - Xtrail, RAV4, CRV, Tucson (?)...correct me if I'm wrong...

got mine a few weeks now and its one sweet ride...feels solid on the road..wifey loves it ..... in terms of value for money when compared to the RAV and CR-V..in my opinion the GV wins hands down...

check out the fully loaded GV with leather, sunroof, 6 airbags, xenon projectors with pop out headlamp washers, 6 disc in dash changer (plays MP3's and WMA's) seven speaker sys with a small sub woofer under the driver's seat .....at 249,000 VI, its not bad considering the base RAV starts around this price, at least when i was looking around...and i got mine when they were running the promotion with 2 years free service plus 2 years free roadside assistance plus some other good stuff.........my only complaint and i cannot understand why Suzuki missed this was that the driver's seat is not powered......the RAV definitely cannot touch the GV's Interior, the CRV's interior is probably a tad bit better....just a tad bit.... :mrgreen:
