Suzuki Grand Vitara - Generation 3.1-2 (2005-2013)

SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (2005-2013)

The third generation model is developed by using some bits of GM's Theta platform but could not be considered as one. Local models had different engines from the basic 2.0 4-cylinder with either a manual or 'matic (the former was dropped when it was upgraded to a 2.4) to large V6 engines. As of 2015, only the 2.4 is still marketed.
