While conventional wisdom states that compact SUVs can’t hold their own off-road, Suzuki is happy to turn convention on

its head with the Grand Vitara. Not only does the Grand Vitara have 4-Mode 4WD™ available to take you most anywhere

in this world you’d like to go, it also has over 40 years of Suzuki off-road heritage to back it up. And when you find yourself

in more civilized environs, the Grand Vitara delivers a level of comfort that makes day-to-day driving a joy. Which means

no matter where the road takes you, or whether there even is a road, the Grand Vitara is always good to go.

You get more out of it because we put more into it.

Information Provided by:

The Grand Vitara is designed to perform in any driving condition you might find yourself in, be it bone-jarring city potholes, a snowy mountain road or a

muddy woodland trail. Its ladder-frame-reinforced unibody construction gives it the stability of a full-sized SUV in off-road conditions, while its independent

front and rear suspension keeps things comfortable and easy to handle on the highway. It also offers more towing capacity than the Honda CR-V,® the

Nissan Rogue® or the Jeep Patriot

unibody construction

Suzuki has been making 4WD

vehicles for over 40 years,

and we put all of this knowledge

into every Grand Vitara.

What does this mean? More towing capacity,

for one (twice the standard capacity of

R AV4® or CR-V). Better durability. And better

handling in on- and off-road conditions.

With a maximum towing

capacity of 3,000 lbs, the

Grand Vitara has the hauling edge

on most of its competition.

The Grand Vitara is flat-tow

compatible, meaning you can tow

it behind your motor home without

accumulating miles on its odometer.

The Grand Vitara is one of the only compact SUVs to offer you the confidence of available full-time 4-Mode 4WD. This system features a

lockable, limited-slip center differential as well as a low-range transfer case, all of which you can engage to maximize traction in the most

challenging road conditions. So whether you’re heading up a snowy mountain pass to the ski lodge or making your way around a fallen

tree blocking the road, you’re covered. It even offers a Neutral setting so you can flat-tow it behind your RV without racking up miles on the

Grand Vitara’s odometer. All of this technology is the direct result of Suzuki’s 40-plus years of 4WD know-h o w.

The 4High mode works like an AWD

system, enhancing traction for better

on-road performance in all conditions,

including dry and wet pavement.

The 4High-Lock mode locks the center

differential, sending equal power to
the front and rear wheels for greater
traction on dirt roads and light snow.

The 4Low-Lock mode engages

the low-range gears for maximum

traction in the most challenging

conditions, like deep sand and snow.

it earned its deGree in off-road

The Grand Vitara’s aggressive approach,

ramp-breakover and departure angles,

as well as nearly eight inches of ground

clearance mean you’ve got the right

machine to handle the toughest terrain.
