Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced the launch of the 2009 model Grand Vitara to enhance the SUV's overall performance, looks and comfort.
The move is expected to further boost sales of the Grand Vitara, which has created a niche for itself in global markets with its excellent on-road handling; uniquely sporty, tough-looking exterior design; and outstanding off-road performance.
One of the significant changes to the Grand Vitara will be the newly-designed petrol engines; the latest version of the SUV will be powered by a choice of 2.4-litre four-cylinder and 3.2-litre V6 petrol engines to enhance performance. Further, driving will be made quieter by a redesigned powertrain and new acoustic materials; off-road performance will be improved by hill hold control and hill descent control (applicable to the five-door vehicles with the 3.2-litre petrol engine only); and braking performance will be improved with the adoption of rear disc brakes.
The new Grand Vitara will also get a jazzier and tougher look with new designs for the front grille and bumper accentuating the sportier exterior. In addition, sporty, on-road-oriented 17-inch and 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels, outside door mirrors with built-in turn signal lamps, and new body colours add to the SUV's overall appeal.
"We are certain that customers in the Middle East market will appreciate the modifications incorporated in the new Grand Vitara, as Suzuki reaffirms its strategy of constantly enhancing the quality and performance of its vehicles in line with customer expectations," said Takeo Fukuda, group leader, Middle East & Africa, Marketing Group (Automobile), Suzuki Motor Corporation. There are also various other changes to the Grand Vitara, incorporated to maximise comfort and convenience.
