2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara Review
All-wheel-drive base versions of Suzuki's compact SUV gain low-range gearing for 2007. Grand Vitara seats five and has a side-hinged cargo door. Base, Xsport, and Luxury models are offered. A 185-hp V6 is the only engine. Manual transmission is standard on base models. Automatic transmission is optional on those and standard on Xsport and Luxury. All Grand Vitaras are available with rear-wheel drive or Suzuki's 4-Mode AWD that includes a locking center differential and low-range gearing. Base models previously offered AWD without low-range gearing. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags. Heated front seats, leather upholstery, and sunroof are exclusive to Luxury models, and are standard.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Among utility vehicles, Compact SUVs are typically the least costly and offer the best fuel economy. Most utilize a car-type chassis and are not designed for heavy-duty, off-road use. Nearly all are five-passenger vehicles.

Our Best Buys include the Honda CR-V and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Our Recommended picks are the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Acura RDX, Honda CR-V, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Wrangler, and Mitsubishi Outlander.
News
Grand Vitara will be freshened for 2009, our sources report, but that's all they know right now.
