Suzuki Grand Vitara - Generation 2 (2000-2005)

SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (2000-2005)

The Grand Vitara is basically a larger, more expensive, and more powerful variant of the Vitara. Coincidentally, the older body Vitara is sold alongside but not the smaller model of this one. It is available with a 2.0 4-cylinder or a 2.5 V6 for Grand Vitara models while the XL7 gains a larger 2.7 V6 plus seating for seven people.
