History Suzuki Grand Vitara / Suzuki Grand Vitara

In the fall of 1997, Suzuki introduced the Vitara successor - the Grand Vitara model. The sonicker's sonicker is that translated from Latin means a big, majestic, grand, great, ordered Suzuki specialists to create a corresponding car name.

Inheritance from the ancestor Grand Vitara, a chassis frame design and four-wheel drive with a plug-in bridge took place. The frame is made of steel beams, the crossbars are located so that without excessive increase in the weight of the structure, the maximum rigidity for twisting was achieved. Front - independent suspension with springs, located separately from McPherson racks. In a continuous rear axle, a spring suspension on longitudinal levers with a transverse barbell. Front brakes have ventilated discs.

The design of Grand Vitara is dominated by smooth, rounded shapes, large lighting and silver plastic "cooker" are distinguished in a circle.

The interior is harmoniously combined with an external appearance. In the trim of the cabin, soft, calm colors prevail, everything is performed high quality and kindly. A spare wheel is placed on the opening lobby of the rear door, without taking place inside. The steering column is adjustable in height. The rear seats can be folded separately, and the backs of the seats can be folded to form beds.

The line of power units offers a choice of 4-cylinder gasoline engines with an electronic injection system with a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters and with a capacity of 94 and 128 hp. respectively. Plus-shaped6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.5 l with a capacity of 144 hp With distributed fuel injection, two camshafts in each block head and four valves per cylinder. In a pair, there is either a manual five-speed gearbox or a four-step automatic.

The front axle can be connected at speeds up to 100 km / h, and to turn on the downstream row in the dispensing box it is necessary to stop.

In the steering setting, an acceptable balance was found between the help of the hydraulic device necessary on the off-road, and the feedback that helps you feel feel when passing fast turns.

The standard bundle includes: steering power amplifier, power windows, outer mirrors, central locking, acoustic panel with speakers, as well as a variety of diverse compartments for small things. Plus two frontal airbags and straps with pyrotechnic pretensioners.

Additional equipment includes air conditioning, immobilizer and anti-lock brake system.

In 2000, Grand Vitara appeared with an open body. The basis for it served as a 3-door all-metal version without the back of the roof. It saved the rigid body structure and ensured the protection of passengers in case of turning.

Grand Vitara had to compete with such serious rivals as Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. When sales began to fall, the company understood that they could finally lose the fight for the consumer, and took up the development of the second model generation. It had to be designed almost with a clean leaf, because, for example, the framework of the body has already become an anachronism in this segment, and the faceless or even just a good design would mean a complete failure.

In 2005, the second generation Grand Vitara debuted.

Before its creation, SUZUKI specialists listened to enthusiasts from all over the world, which reported their compact 4 -4 requirements: design, capacity, equipment, technology, safety, and influence on the ecology. Taking into account all this, and without departing from the traditions of the old Grand Vitara, the concern created a new generation.

The car turned out to be very elegant, dynamic, solid and original. In the exterior it is impossible to find a single detail that hints at the predecessor. The second generation with the integrated frame instead of a fashionable carrier body, with a constant full-wheel drive, a demultiplier and interlock differential blocking. This is a completely new car, the root differ from the old Grand Vitara model.

The new Grand Vitara is produced in two body versions: three - and a five-door SUV. The five-door version is distinguished by a massive rear stand, which is continued by large rear lights - spectacular and memorable solution. The lid of the gas tank round and opens only from the cabin.

The former model was distinguished by rounded shapes, the novelty has gained clear edges. Only the bottom of the bumper slightly protrudes, thus highlighting the spectacular fog lights. Large headlights of the head light are located above them, under the transparent cap of which neighbor and far light reflectors are hidden. At the bottom there is a strip of rotation pointers (xenon headlights can be installed as an option). Between the headlights there is an impressive sizes of the racing grille of the radiator. The back of the hood near the windshield racks is decorated with small plastic airlows - exclusively decorative reception.

Extended wheeled arches add the appearance of the new Grand Vitara aggressiveness. The previous version possessed plastic archets on the arches and wide plastic protection around the perimeter. Now the wheeled arches are the continuation of the wings. But the defense on the bottom of the doors was left. However, it is practically imperceptible, because plastic was painted in the color of the body. The fifth door is a swing type, equipped with a janitor and third stop signal. Also on it placed the spare wheel with a plastic casing. Grand Vitara's appearance 16 inch alloy wheels with spectacular five-skate design (17 inch discs are available as the option).

Dimensions have changed. So, the 5-door version, added a length of 255 mm, in a width of 30 mm. In this case, the height decreased by 45 mm, which is achieved, in particular, by implancing the frame directly in the body. Moreover, the clearance of the car remained unchanged - 200 mm. The wheelaber has grown up 160 mm and now reaches 2640 mm, and the front and rear wheel track increased by 40 and 70 mm, respectively. Thanks to this, much more spacious became in the cabin.

Inside everything in a new way. The interior was noticeably smoothed, ergonomics improved significantly. The first thing that rushes into the eye is a decent quality of finishing materials. And also unobtrusive, but the obvious desire of designers emphasizes the sportiness of the model. Seats are made in geometrical design and using ribbed materials, which is pleasant to eyes and touch. Plastic inserts for aluminum give some ease of the front panel and the entire salon as a whole. The hospitable driver's seat has only three adjustments: longitudinal movement, backrest tilt and height adjustment. The steering column is also regulated, however, only on the angle of inclination. The steering wheel is a three-spoken with the audio control buttons: switching modes, volume, station switching / tracks and turning off the sound.

On the horizontal armrest of the driver's door there is a block of control of electrical windows of all doors and electric drives of external rearview mirrors. On the left of the steering wheel under the round ventilation deflector there is a block that includes a rotating headlights selector selector, fog switch and a dashboard backlight control button.

Under the visor of the instrument panel, right in front of the eyes, three separate circular windows. Central, the largest window, occupies a speedometer, marked up to 200 km / h, inside it - several icons and a liquid crystal display of the odometer, left to 8000 rpm tachometer, and on the right - indicator of the transmission enabled, fuel level pointers in the tank and cooling temperatures liquids. The backlight is performed by optimile technology: it turns on with the inclusion of ignition and goes out only after it is turned off or forced the button to the left of the steering wheel. In general, the topic of the circle prevails in the decoration of the Grand Vitara saloon - ventilation deflectors, rim around the AKP lever, the climate control control keys are all round shapes.

The central console is quite massive, but everything is organized on it quite logical. In the upper part, a small electronic scoreboard, which is displayed on the onboard computer and the thermometer. Below is an audio system with a CD player. Under it - a climatic unit and joystick of the all-wheel drive transmission control. That is, Grand Vitara, unlike its predecessor, lost the lever of the demultitator - its functions are assigned to this switch, having several positions: "N" allows the use of winch, "4H" - four-wheel drive and increased transmission, "4H Lock" - Four-wheel drive and increased transmission, inter-wheeled differential is blocked, "4L Lock" - four-wheel drive and reduced transmission with a blocked intercother differential.

Not bad ergonomics of the cabin as a whole. A long wheelbase guarantees a sufficient foot place both in front and rear. The large width of the car's salon and comfortable chairs allow you to go behind three adults in full comfort. The sofa back is adjustable over the angle of inclination. Places are easily and quickly removed if necessary. A fairly large luggage compartment can be increased by folding the back of the rear seat. However, it is possible to add only part of the back in the proportion of 40:60. The luggage compartment of Suzuki Grand Vitara is equipped with hooks, neat pockets and an additional niche. Low edges allow you to put and pull the luggage without any special problems. Everything is very thoughtful and functionally.

This generation lost the frame. In addition, all car suspensions have become independent. What, of course, affected manageability. The car is better listening to the steering wheel, it is more stable in turns. Sustainability contributes to the new system of full drive. Most models are with standard 4 ways full of 4x4 with a center differentiation, a system that offers a wide range of thrust options for good off-road driving.

Four-available engines offer a variety of combinations of work, from saving fuel and uncompromising power and rotation. In the domestic market, Suzuki Grand Vitara is offered with two variants of gasoline engines. Two-liter four-cylinder 145 hp and V6 with a volume of 2.7 l with a capacity of 184 hp In the first case, you can choose the five-speed "mechanics" or a four-step "automatic" .Top versionV6 is aggregated with a new automatic five-speed transmission. For European shoppers Grand Vitara Select a slightly different - basic engine is 1.6 liters (100 hp) plus turbodiesel 1.9 TD. A two-liter version is also relied on the five-door body. With any package can be "automatic".

Specialists SUZUKI paid special attention. ESP adds stability provided by a low vehicle severity center by four main functions: anti-lock brake system (ABS); electronic brake force distribution (EBD); Traction control (TCS); and stability control. The Grand Vitara body provides the first defensive line plus survival site. Pedals are designed to minimize the damage of the limbs, and the security system of safety to prevent injuries. All models come with fasteners for children's seats, which are made according to ISO Fix standards.

In 2008, restyling Suzuki Grand Vitara was held. The reason to update your famous model from the manufacturer has found more than a thorough: the car celebrated its 10th anniversary. External changes are not revolutionary. In fact, the exterior of the updated car is not much different from the design of the body of the previous, dorestayling generation. The overall dimensions of the updated model are 4060x1810x1695 mm, the wheelbase is 2640 mm. The car received a modified front bumper, new front wings with selected wheeled arches, exterior mirrors with built-in rotation pointer repeatters and a radiator grille with larger cells. Sports notes in the design of the Suzuki Grand Vitara exterior "perform" 18-inch wheels, which are installed at the five-door vehicle modifications. Variants of the model in equipment with 17-tidyum disks, on the contrary, have a pronounced off-road view. In addition, restyling expanded the color painting colors palette. With all this, the model has kept its individual, recognizable appearance.

The interior of the salon has fun considerably, ergonomics improved. For example, now in front of the driver's eyes, an information screen integrated into the dashboard, where in a convenient format reading information about the operation of the car systems is displayed. On a convenient steering wheel, located on the adjustable column, as before you can see the audio system control buttons and the climate control system, only now these buttons are supplemented with backlight. The location of some elements has changed. On the center console, most function keys are located: Climate control control button, heater adjustment knob, a head unit that combines the functions of the radio and CD changer on six disks. The automatic transmission selector, in addition to the POWER mode buttons, lay the heating keys of the front seats and the 12-volt electrical outlet. More powerful motors forced Japanese engineers to improve the level of insulation of the cabin. In addition, along with high-quality plastic, the Grand Vitara interior, depending on the version, has chrome elements (for example, five-door modifications have chrome knobs), as well as stylized finish parts under the black tree.

Changes touched on the technical part. Two new engines were added to the gamma engines. One volume of 2.4 liters, equipped with a system of automatic changing phases of gas distribution, the other - 3.2-liter V6. The new 2,4-liter power unit replaced the former 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 140 hp The new motor installed on three-door modification of the model has a power of 166 hp, the same engine installed on a five-door version with a five-speed mechanical gearbox develops up to 169 hp. Equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and a five-speed "mechanical" three-door Grand Vitara accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.2 s. And develops up to 180 km / h of maximum speed.

Six-cylinder 3.2 liter samples. It has power in 232 hp At 291 nm of torque, consumes up to 10.6 liters. In a mixed cycle. The five-door version of Grand Vitara in the equipment with a 3.2-liter engine and a five-speed automatic checkpoint is accelerated to 100 km / h in 9.3 s. And develops maximum speed up to 200 km / h. The version with the last power unit is considered to be "flagship" - only it has received such options in the basic configuration as Hill Descent Control (system that supports 5 or 10 km / h on descent) and Hill Hold Control (slows down the crossover-standing crossover Feet from brake on gas).

The brake system was also a brake system, now instead of rear drum brakes, disc brakes are installed instead of the rear drum brakes. The carrier frame, which had the previous generation of Grand Vitara, is now no, and the center of gravity of the crossover has become lower, which has been positively affected on the features of turning.

According to the results of the EUROnCAP series crash test series, the updated model Suzuki Grand Vitara received 30 points for ensuring the safety of their passengers. High safety rates have become achievable due to the fact that the body of the model consists of a rigid frame frame, energy absorbing zones and deformed when hitting, not harming the car passengers. In addition, Grand Vitara has the system necessary to ensure active security, to the number of which, except ESP and ABS, also also include a car hold system on descent and lift (HHC). Passive passenger safety in the cabin guarantee six airbags, of which are two front, two side and security curtains, as well as three-point seat belts with pretensioners.

In 2010, Suzuki announced the modernization of the export versions of the car. Grand Vitara 2011 model year lost a spare wheel on the door of the trunk, due to which the overall length of the car decreased by 200 mm. Instead of a spare wheel, the manufacturer offers a sealant and a compressor for rapidly repairs. The diesel 1.9-liter engine was upgraded to compliance with the ecological level EURO 5. In the basic equipment of all versions of the crossover, the self-locking central differential and the electric drive of the inclusion of reduced transmission in the dispensing box was included. All models are equipped with an anti-lock brake system and brake force distribution system.

In 2012, Suzuki Grand Vitara survived another modernization. The presentation of the European version of the car took place at the Moscow Motor Show on August 29, 2012.

In Russia, the car is offered in two body versions: three-door and five-door options. The final Grand Vitara has 4060 mm in length, 1810 mm wide, 1695 mm in height, 2440 mm Wheelbase and 200 mm of the road lumen. By the way, the three-dimmer can boast a good indicator of the geometric patency of the body, the angle of entry - 29 degrees, the angle of the congress - 36 degrees, longitudinal permeability - 20 degrees. Comfort-oriented and optimal use of the useful area The 5-door version of Grand Vitara has the following external parameters: the length is 4500 mm, the width is 1810 mm, the height is 1695 mm, the wheelbase is 2640 mm, the clearance is 200 mm. The mass of the car varies from 1533 kg to 1584 kg. In five-door with the body geometry, things are somewhat worse if the angle of entry is the same as a three-door counterfeit - 29 degrees, then the angle of longitudinal passability is slightly less than - 19 degrees, and the angle of the congress is significantly less than 27 degrees.

Grand Vitara 2013 models changed quite a little externally. The radiator grille instead of the mesh received two expanding to the middle of the crossbar, and on the front bumper there was a postpone, resembling a "kenguryatnik". The optics of headlight headlights has changed, the fog sites are located in the wells, an apron appeared on the edge of the bumper. The back of the trunk coaster is crowned aside and vertical lanterns.

Depending on the configuration, the wheelboards can be 16-inch steel, or, for example, litim. In addition, specially for residents of megacities designers Suzuki created sports 18-inch 7-ray alloy wheels in urban style. Lovers of country life will certainly come to taste 17-inch 5-ray discs off-road design.

Restyled Grand Vitara The following body colors are available: Pearl Pnoenix Red (Red), Silky Silver Metallic (Silver), Pearl White Metallic (White), Pearl Nocturne Blue (Blue), Bluish Black (Black), Metallic Quasar Gray (Dark Gray) , Metallic Pearl Gaia Bronze (Bronze), Bison Brown Pearl Metallic 2 (brown).

The car's salon continues the rigor and rectinence of body lines. Changes in the interior of cosmetic, materials used in the finish have become high quality. The interior is not only comfortable, but also functional. The steering wheel is adjustable only in height and has a minimum set of buttons (Music Management). Illuminated switches on the steering wheel improves visual control of the operation of the audio system. The information display integrated into the dashboard reports the driver in Russian on the current modes of the car. For vehicles with 2.4 l engines in addition, among others, the transmission operation mode, current fuel consumption, average speed and stroke speed are displayed. The Grand Vitara salon has a huge number of all sorts of boxes and pockets, where you can put different useful little things.

Chairs of the driver and passenger with heated and sufficient for convenient location with a set and range of adjustments. In the second row of a five-door version of the place with a margin for three passengers, and here three passengers will work with difficulty in the back. In the 5-door model, the rear seat is equipped with an armrest that divides it into two chairs, which makes the convenience of the rear landing. The trunk of the five-door Grand Vitara is designed to transport 398 liters with a busy rearly nearby, folding the seats of the second row we will get the ability to upload up to 1386 liters. The short-shaped body of a crossover with four passengers has a tiny trunk at 184 liters, with a driver and front passenger, its cargo capacity increases to 964 liters.

In Russia, Grand Vitara 2013 model year is offered in three configurations. In the basic version, hydraulic power steering, electric windows of all doors, central locking, air conditioning, on-board computer, heated front armchairs, heated electric boiler, front and rear fog lights, six airbags, CD mp3 music, tissue upholstery, rubber 225/70 R16 on steel disks.

The maximum set contains the combined upholstery of the leather seats, color touch screen (6.1 inches), Garmin navigator, voice-controlled audio system (CD MP3 USB AUX iPhone and iPod, Bluetooth), cruise control, alloy wheels with rubber 225 / 60R18, Headlights with xenon filling and washer, engine start button.

In the process of updating, the technical characteristics of the Japanese crossover were not subject to special interference from the company's engineers. Fully independent front suspension with MacPherson racks and rear axle of multi-dimensions (five levers). Independent suspension and permanent four-wheel drive ensure the smoothness and stability on the road. The presence of blocking the inter-axis differential and reduced transmission in the dispensing box allow the car to overcome obstacles.

All 5-door models are equipped with a 3-mode all-wheel drive transmission with an enhanced friction inter-axis differential, which ensures the use of a wide range of variants of the traction force distribution for movement in different types of roads and off-road. The switch to one of the 3-X modes of the full drive is on the central console, which makes the most convenient selection of the required mode as possible. To switch to N (neutral) or 4l Lock modes (reduced transmission with a blocked inter-axis differential), the switching knob must be pulled out, which prevents accidental unwanted inclusion of these modes.

Under the hood familiar in dorestayling models petrol engines. The three-door version of the SUV is aggregated by a 107-strong motor volume of 1.6 liters. He accelerates the car up to 100 km / h for 14.4 seconds. Fuel consumption on average is 8.2-8.5 liters. The maximum speed is 160 km / h. The five-door modification is offered with 2.0 (140 hp) and 2.4 liters (169 hp). Transmission - 5-speed mechanical or 4-speed automatic. But the version of Suzuki Grand Vitara 3.2 liters no longer sell, apparently due to low demand. Diesel versions, alas, in the Russian market is also not.

The Grand Vitara 2013 developers paid special safety: the body design combines the rigid frame frame and the deformation zone absorbing the energy of the impact. The hardness of the body is amplified installed in the car's doors by shockproof beams.

On cars with a 3.2-liter engine, a car hold system on the rise and descent (Hill Hold Control, HHC) not only improves the active safety of the car, but also increases the car's passability in off-road conditions. Even the standard GRAND Vitara package includes ABS, EBD and six airbags: two frontal, two side and protective curtains. All cars are also equipped with special ISO Fix mounting elements for children's chairs and three-point safety belts (for front seats - with pretensioners and retention limiters).

The Grand Vitara SUV is one of the most famous models of the Japanese company Suzuki in Russia and the world. The first "Grand Vitara" saw the light back in 1997 and was built on the basis of the second generation of Suzuki Escudo (essentially becoming its export version-oriented to Europe). The car was initially represented in two versions of body versions: three-door and five-door (at the same time, the "five-door" was previously made not only in the "standard" (five-seater) execution, but also in the "elongated" (seven) version (known as "XL-7" ).

The second embodiment of Suzuki Grand Vitara was published in 2005 and since then it was repeatedly updated, which, however, no matter how the design of this car is not at the "modern standards". This can be explained only by the fact that designers Suzuki Motor Corporation are extremely "conservative" - \u200b\u200bi.e. Prefer a strict classic style (allowing you to save on production as much as yet). As a result, it can be said that "Suzuki Grand Vitara for Japan" is like "UAZ Patriot for Russia": a little "square", simple and not throwing, but practical and universally.

As mentioned above, Suzuki Grand Vitara is produced in two versions, which are externally different not only by the number of doors, but also by the dimensions ("three-door", by the way, we have a separate detailed review).

The length of the "three-door" is 4,060 mm, and the "five-door" is 4,500 mm. The length of the wheelbase is respectively equal to 2 440 and 2,640 mm. The width in both versions is the same - 1 810 mm, the height is also total - 1,695 mm. Especially note the height of the road lumen (clearance): 195 mm under the front axle and 215 mm under the rear axle.

The interior of Suzuki Grand Vitara is also "boring and dull", as well as the exterior: the front panel is made of plastic, the seats are covered with a cloth, and the central console in the basic equipment is more like the "Old Control Panel" than for the interior of the car, good in top performance It is diluted with a touchscreen display (however, it is filled with a certain "retro-style"). Of the advantages, we note: excellent assembly and high quality fittings.

The Salon of the three-door Suzuki Grand Vitara is designed for four passengers, but the five-door version has standard five seats. At the same time, we note that the abundance of the free space (except for height above the head) in the cabin there is not even behind and the rising passengers will be closed, especially in the knees.

The trunk is also not a spacing - 184 liters in the "three-door" and 398 liters in the "five-door".

Specifications. Motors for the "second" Suzuki Grand Vitara on the Russian market there are three. All of them gasoline, have four cylinders, a 16-valve GDM mechanism, a fuel injection system and fully comply with the requirements of the Euro-4 standard. At the same time, we note that in the EU market, these same motors are more environmentally friendly and fit into the framework of the requirements of Euro-5.

• The younger 1.6-liter engine "M16A" is available only in the basic configuration of the three-door version and is able to squeeze out of itself no more than 106 hp. maximum power. The torque of this motor at its peak rests at a mark of 145 nm, which allows in a pair with the only available 5-speed manual transmission to provide a "three-door" sufficient acceleration dynamics - from 0 to 100 km / h in 14.4 seconds. The maximum speed of movement will be no more than 160 km / h.
• The next motor - "J20A" with a volume of 2.0 liters is the basic for the five-door modification of Suzuki Grand Vitara. Its peak power is 140 hp, and the upper torque limit is 183 nm. For this engine, in addition to the already voiced "mechanics", a 4-range "automatic" is also available. True, we note that he is already so outdated that at least ten years "suggests the pit." The dynamics of the overclocking "Pyddversion" with a 2.0-liter motor and automatic transmission only a little better than that of the basic "three-door" on the "mechanics" - 13.6 seconds.
• Well, finally, the flagship engine "J24B", affordable on the "three-door" only in a pair with a "automatic", and on the "five-door" both with "mechanics" and "automat". Its working volume is 2.4 liters, and the maximum power does not exceed 168 hp. As for torque, this motor is able to work out 225 nm. On the "three-year" due to the smaller exercise mass (1,412 kg against 1,584 kg), this is enough for a quiet acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. "Pyddvek" with automatic transmission will raise the arrow to hundreds for 12.0 seconds, but the version with the "mechanics" will be met by 11.7 seconds.

The main "trump card" Suzuki Grand Vitara is a system of a full drive that allows you to confidently feel like off-road. Of course, the full SUV "Grand Vitara" is not, but "in the mud" most crossovers will leave behind himself "not really straining." It should be noted that the three-door version in the standard version is equipped with a simple system of constant full drive "Full Time 4 × 4" and only all other modifications receive a modern multi-mode transmission with the possibility of incorporating downward transmission and blocking the inter-axis differential.

The crossover suspension is fully independent, the front is based on MacPherson racks, and behind the multi-dimensional design. On the front wheels used ventilated disc brakes, drumming mechanisms are installed on the rear wheels, and on all other versions - ventilated brake discs.

Package and prices. For Russia, Suzuki Grand Vitara is offered in five options for equipping at a price of 1,139,000 rubles for the basic version in a three-door body and from 1,349,000 rubles for the starting equipment of the "Fifteen", while the color of Metallic will have to pay for another 16 900 rubles. The price of Suzuki Grand Vitaru, let's say directly, not small, taking into account the "age of the model" and what competitors can offer.

The technical characteristics of the "Suzuki Grand Vitara" will help you appreciate this car. So, first should be noted that the presented transport is useful in good demand, since with good functionality it has an acceptable cost. The machine is a 3- and 5-door universal apparatus. The disadvantage of the car is its small capacity and not too good resistance on the road. However, these flaws are compensated by other features.

The technical characteristics of the "Suzuki Grand Vitara" are also presented with excellent running, transmission and brake system. The car is very hardy, and until overhaul, he will be able to drive up to 400,000 km. Naturally, thermal gaps of valves require periodic adjustment.

As for the gear shift system, it is distinguished by durability and reliability. It is equipped with a PART TIME 4WD drive, which can be used only on slippery roads, and short-term time. In the event of a transmission breakdown, you will have to lay out up to 1,200 dollars for its repair. Periodically, the box requires the installation of new crosses of cardan shafts. Transmission may be a mechanical (5-speed) and automatic (4-speed).

Other technical characteristics of the clutch should be very reliable, so it is possible to replace it no earlier than through 150,000 km of mileage. The car can be connected manually or automatically. Moreover, the first option is less prone to breakdowns.

Despite the fact that the car has small sizes, his frame is impressive. Increased rigidity makes it possible without prejudice to the car ride the hard off-road. The remaining technical characteristics of the "Suzuki Grand Vitara" are quite good. Made of very durable metal, so it is difficult to break it enough. In addition, the car is equipped with removable ballproofs. The steering system is equipped with a hydraulic agent that does not break for a long time. While buying this transport, you should pay attention to the quality of the gearbox.

The Suzuki Grand Vitara car has an excellent brake system. You will have to change the pads only in 40,000 km. Drums can last even longer. It should be noted that this transport is very simple and unpretentious. It is universal, has a small size and perfectly suitable for a small family of 4 people. You can ride this car not only on asphalt. It will be perfectly cope with a non-smooth surface. And the machine is equipped with 3-6 airbags, climate control, audio system, course stability system, heated seats and chip key.

Characteristics "Suzuki Grand Vitara" confirm that for a little money you can get a high-quality vehicle, repair and maintenance of which will not require investments of significant funds. The cost of this car today ranges from 5 to 11 thousand dollars.

History Suzuki Grand Vitara / Suzuki Grand Vitara

In the fall of 1997, Suzuki introduced the Vitara successor - the Grand Vitara model. The sonicker's sonicker is that translated from Latin means a big, majestic, grand, great, ordered Suzuki specialists to create a corresponding car name.

Inheritance from the ancestor Grand Vitara, a chassis frame design and four-wheel drive with a plug-in bridge took place. The frame is made of steel beams, the crossbars are located so that without excessive increase in the weight of the structure, the maximum rigidity for twisting was achieved. Front - independent suspension with springs, located separately from McPherson racks. In a continuous rear axle, a spring suspension on longitudinal levers with a transverse barbell. Front brakes have ventilated discs.

The design of Grand Vitara is dominated by smooth, rounded shapes, large lighting and silver plastic "cooker" are distinguished in a circle.

The interior is harmoniously combined with an external appearance. In the trim of the cabin, soft, calm colors prevail, everything is performed high quality and kindly. A spare wheel is placed on the opening lobby of the rear door, without taking place inside. The steering column is adjustable in height. The rear seats can be folded separately, and the backs of the seats can be folded to form beds.

The line of power units offers a choice of 4-cylinder gasoline engines with an electronic injection system with a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters and with a capacity of 94 and 128 hp. respectively. Plus-shaped6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.5 l with a capacity of 144 hp With distributed fuel injection, two camshafts in each block head and four valves per cylinder. In a pair, there is either a manual five-speed gearbox or a four-step automatic.

The front axle can be connected at speeds up to 100 km / h, and to turn on the downstream row in the dispensing box it is necessary to stop.

In the steering setting, an acceptable balance was found between the help of the hydraulic device necessary on the off-road, and the feedback that helps you feel feel when passing fast turns.

The standard bundle includes: steering power amplifier, power windows, outer mirrors, central locking, acoustic panel with speakers, as well as a variety of diverse compartments for small things. Plus two frontal airbags and straps with pyrotechnic pretensioners.

Additional equipment includes air conditioning, immobilizer and anti-lock brake system.

In 2000, Grand Vitara appeared with an open body. The basis for it served as a 3-door all-metal version without the back of the roof. It saved the rigid body structure and ensured the protection of passengers in case of turning.

Grand Vitara had to compete with such serious rivals as Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. When sales began to fall, the company understood that they could finally lose the fight for the consumer, and took up the development of the second model generation. It had to be designed almost with a clean leaf, because, for example, the framework of the body has already become an anachronism in this segment, and the faceless or even just a good design would mean a complete failure.

In 2005, the second generation Grand Vitara debuted.

Before its creation, SUZUKI specialists listened to enthusiasts from all over the world, which reported their compact 4 -4 requirements: design, capacity, equipment, technology, safety, and influence on the ecology. Taking into account all this, and without departing from the traditions of the old Grand Vitara, the concern created a new generation.

The car turned out to be very elegant, dynamic, solid and original. In the exterior it is impossible to find a single detail that hints at the predecessor. The second generation with the integrated frame instead of a fashionable carrier body, with a constant full-wheel drive, a demultiplier and interlock differential blocking. This is a completely new car, the root differ from the old Grand Vitara model.

The new Grand Vitara is produced in two body versions: three - and a five-door SUV. The five-door version is distinguished by a massive rear stand, which is continued by large rear lights - spectacular and memorable solution. The lid of the gas tank round and opens only from the cabin.

The former model was distinguished by rounded shapes, the novelty has gained clear edges. Only the bottom of the bumper slightly protrudes, thus highlighting the spectacular fog lights. Large headlights of the head light are located above them, under the transparent cap of which neighbor and far light reflectors are hidden. At the bottom there is a strip of rotation pointers (xenon headlights can be installed as an option). Between the headlights there is an impressive sizes of the racing grille of the radiator. The back of the hood near the windshield racks is decorated with small plastic airlows - exclusively decorative reception.

Extended wheeled arches add the appearance of the new Grand Vitara aggressiveness. The previous version possessed plastic archets on the arches and wide plastic protection around the perimeter. Now the wheeled arches are the continuation of the wings. But the defense on the bottom of the doors was left. However, it is practically imperceptible, because plastic was painted in the color of the body. The fifth door is a swing type, equipped with a janitor and third stop signal. Also on it placed the spare wheel with a plastic casing. Grand Vitara's appearance 16 inch alloy wheels with spectacular five-skate design (17 inch discs are available as the option).

Dimensions have changed. So, the 5-door version, added a length of 255 mm, in a width of 30 mm. In this case, the height decreased by 45 mm, which is achieved, in particular, by implancing the frame directly in the body. Moreover, the clearance of the car remained unchanged - 200 mm. The wheelaber has grown up 160 mm and now reaches 2640 mm, and the front and rear wheel track increased by 40 and 70 mm, respectively. Thanks to this, much more spacious became in the cabin.

Inside everything in a new way. The interior was noticeably smoothed, ergonomics improved significantly. The first thing that rushes into the eye is a decent quality of finishing materials. And also unobtrusive, but the obvious desire of designers emphasizes the sportiness of the model. Seats are made in geometrical design and using ribbed materials, which is pleasant to eyes and touch. Plastic inserts for aluminum give some ease of the front panel and the entire salon as a whole. The hospitable driver's seat has only three adjustments: longitudinal movement, backrest tilt and height adjustment. The steering column is also regulated, however, only on the angle of inclination. The steering wheel is a three-spoken with the audio control buttons: switching modes, volume, station switching / tracks and turning off the sound.

On the horizontal armrest of the driver's door there is a block of control of electrical windows of all doors and electric drives of external rearview mirrors. On the left of the steering wheel under the round ventilation deflector there is a block that includes a rotating headlights selector selector, fog switch and a dashboard backlight control button.

Under the visor of the instrument panel, right in front of the eyes, three separate circular windows. Central, the largest window, occupies a speedometer, marked up to 200 km / h, inside it - several icons and a liquid crystal display of the odometer, left to 8000 rpm tachometer, and on the right - indicator of the transmission enabled, fuel level pointers in the tank and cooling temperatures liquids. The backlight is performed by optimile technology: it turns on with the inclusion of ignition and goes out only after it is turned off or forced the button to the left of the steering wheel. In general, the topic of the circle prevails in the decoration of the Grand Vitara saloon - ventilation deflectors, rim around the AKP lever, the climate control control keys are all round shapes.

The central console is quite massive, but everything is organized on it quite logical. In the upper part, a small electronic scoreboard, which is displayed on the onboard computer and the thermometer. Below is an audio system with a CD player. Under it - a climatic unit and joystick of the all-wheel drive transmission control. That is, Grand Vitara, unlike its predecessor, lost the lever of the demultitator - its functions are assigned to this switch, having several positions: "N" allows the use of winch, "4H" - four-wheel drive and increased transmission, "4H Lock" - Four-wheel drive and increased transmission, inter-wheeled differential is blocked, "4L Lock" - four-wheel drive and reduced transmission with a blocked intercother differential.

Not bad ergonomics of the cabin as a whole. A long wheelbase guarantees a sufficient foot place both in front and rear. The large width of the car's salon and comfortable chairs allow you to go behind three adults in full comfort. The sofa back is adjustable over the angle of inclination. Places are easily and quickly removed if necessary. A fairly large luggage compartment can be increased by folding the back of the rear seat. However, it is possible to add only part of the back in the proportion of 40:60. The luggage compartment of Suzuki Grand Vitara is equipped with hooks, neat pockets and an additional niche. Low edges allow you to put and pull the luggage without any special problems. Everything is very thoughtful and functionally.

This generation lost the frame. In addition, all car suspensions have become independent. What, of course, affected manageability. The car is better listening to the steering wheel, it is more stable in turns. Sustainability contributes to the new system of full drive. Most models are with standard 4 ways full of 4x4 with a center differentiation, a system that offers a wide range of thrust options for good off-road driving.

Four-available engines offer a variety of combinations of work, from saving fuel and uncompromising power and rotation. In the domestic market, Suzuki Grand Vitara is offered with two variants of gasoline engines. Two-liter four-cylinder 145 hp and V6 with a volume of 2.7 l with a capacity of 184 hp In the first case, you can choose the five-speed "mechanics" or a four-step "automatic" .Top versionV6 is aggregated with a new automatic five-speed transmission. For European shoppers Grand Vitara Select a slightly different - basic engine is 1.6 liters (100 hp) plus turbodiesel 1.9 TD. A two-liter version is also relied on the five-door body. With any package can be "automatic".

Specialists SUZUKI paid special attention. ESP adds stability provided by a low vehicle severity center by four main functions: anti-lock brake system (ABS); electronic brake force distribution (EBD); Traction control (TCS); and stability control. The Grand Vitara body provides the first defensive line plus survival site. Pedals are designed to minimize the damage of the limbs, and the security system of safety to prevent injuries. All models come with fasteners for children's seats, which are made according to ISO Fix standards.

In 2008, restyling Suzuki Grand Vitara was held. The reason to update your famous model from the manufacturer has found more than a thorough: the car celebrated its 10th anniversary. External changes are not revolutionary. In fact, the exterior of the updated car is not much different from the design of the body of the previous, dorestayling generation. The overall dimensions of the updated model are 4060x1810x1695 mm, the wheelbase is 2640 mm. The car received a modified front bumper, new front wings with selected wheeled arches, exterior mirrors with built-in rotation pointer repeatters and a radiator grille with larger cells. Sports notes in the design of the Suzuki Grand Vitara exterior "perform" 18-inch wheels, which are installed at the five-door vehicle modifications. Variants of the model in equipment with 17-tidyum disks, on the contrary, have a pronounced off-road view. In addition, restyling expanded the color painting colors palette. With all this, the model has kept its individual, recognizable appearance.

The interior of the salon has fun considerably, ergonomics improved. For example, now in front of the driver's eyes, an information screen integrated into the dashboard, where in a convenient format reading information about the operation of the car systems is displayed. On a convenient steering wheel, located on the adjustable column, as before you can see the audio system control buttons and the climate control system, only now these buttons are supplemented with backlight. The location of some elements has changed. On the center console, most function keys are located: Climate control control button, heater adjustment knob, a head unit that combines the functions of the radio and CD changer on six disks. The automatic transmission selector, in addition to the POWER mode buttons, lay the heating keys of the front seats and the 12-volt electrical outlet. More powerful motors forced Japanese engineers to improve the level of insulation of the cabin. In addition, along with high-quality plastic, the Grand Vitara interior, depending on the version, has chrome elements (for example, five-door modifications have chrome knobs), as well as stylized finish parts under the black tree.

Changes touched on the technical part. Two new engines were added to the gamma engines. One volume of 2.4 liters, equipped with a system of automatic changing phases of gas distribution, the other - 3.2-liter V6. The new 2,4-liter power unit replaced the former 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 140 hp The new motor installed on three-door modification of the model has a power of 166 hp, the same engine installed on a five-door version with a five-speed mechanical gearbox develops up to 169 hp. Equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and a five-speed "mechanical" three-door Grand Vitara accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.2 s. And develops up to 180 km / h of maximum speed.

Six-cylinder 3.2 liter samples. It has power in 232 hp At 291 nm of torque, consumes up to 10.6 liters. In a mixed cycle. The five-door version of Grand Vitara in the equipment with a 3.2-liter engine and a five-speed automatic checkpoint is accelerated to 100 km / h in 9.3 s. And develops maximum speed up to 200 km / h. The version with the last power unit is considered to be "flagship" - only it has received such options in the basic configuration as Hill Descent Control (system that supports 5 or 10 km / h on descent) and Hill Hold Control (slows down the crossover-standing crossover Feet from brake on gas).

The brake system was also a brake system, now instead of rear drum brakes, disc brakes are installed instead of the rear drum brakes. The carrier frame, which had the previous generation of Grand Vitara, is now no, and the center of gravity of the crossover has become lower, which has been positively affected on the features of turning.

According to the results of the EUROnCAP series crash test series, the updated model Suzuki Grand Vitara received 30 points for ensuring the safety of their passengers. High safety rates have become achievable due to the fact that the body of the model consists of a rigid frame frame, energy absorbing zones and deformed when hitting, not harming the car passengers. In addition, Grand Vitara has the system necessary to ensure active security, to the number of which, except ESP and ABS, also also include a car hold system on descent and lift (HHC). Passive passenger safety in the cabin guarantee six airbags, of which are two front, two side and security curtains, as well as three-point seat belts with pretensioners.

In 2010, Suzuki announced the modernization of the export versions of the car. Grand Vitara 2011 model year lost a spare wheel on the door of the trunk, due to which the overall length of the car decreased by 200 mm. Instead of a spare wheel, the manufacturer offers a sealant and a compressor for rapidly repairs. The diesel 1.9-liter engine was upgraded to compliance with the ecological level EURO 5. In the basic equipment of all versions of the crossover, the self-locking central differential and the electric drive of the inclusion of reduced transmission in the dispensing box was included. All models are equipped with an anti-lock brake system and brake force distribution system.

In 2012, Suzuki Grand Vitara survived another modernization. The presentation of the European version of the car took place at the Moscow Motor Show on August 29, 2012.

In Russia, the car is offered in two body versions: three-door and five-door options. The final Grand Vitara has 4060 mm in length, 1810 mm wide, 1695 mm in height, 2440 mm Wheelbase and 200 mm of the road lumen. By the way, the three-dimmer can boast a good indicator of the geometric patency of the body, the angle of entry - 29 degrees, the angle of the congress - 36 degrees, longitudinal permeability - 20 degrees. Comfort-oriented and optimal use of the useful area The 5-door version of Grand Vitara has the following external parameters: the length is 4500 mm, the width is 1810 mm, the height is 1695 mm, the wheelbase is 2640 mm, the clearance is 200 mm. The mass of the car varies from 1533 kg to 1584 kg. In five-door with the body geometry, things are somewhat worse if the angle of entry is the same as a three-door counterfeit - 29 degrees, then the angle of longitudinal passability is slightly less than - 19 degrees, and the angle of the congress is significantly less than 27 degrees.

Grand Vitara 2013 models changed quite a little externally. The radiator grille instead of the mesh received two expanding to the middle of the crossbar, and on the front bumper there was a postpone, resembling a "kenguryatnik". The optics of headlight headlights has changed, the fog sites are located in the wells, an apron appeared on the edge of the bumper. The back of the trunk coaster is crowned aside and vertical lanterns.

Depending on the configuration, the wheelboards can be 16-inch steel, or, for example, litim. In addition, specially for residents of megacities designers Suzuki created sports 18-inch 7-ray alloy wheels in urban style. Lovers of country life will certainly come to taste 17-inch 5-ray discs off-road design.

Restyled Grand Vitara The following body colors are available: Pearl Pnoenix Red (Red), Silky Silver Metallic (Silver), Pearl White Metallic (White), Pearl Nocturne Blue (Blue), Bluish Black (Black), Metallic Quasar Gray (Dark Gray) , Metallic Pearl Gaia Bronze (Bronze), Bison Brown Pearl Metallic 2 (brown).

The car's salon continues the rigor and rectinence of body lines. Changes in the interior of cosmetic, materials used in the finish have become high quality. The interior is not only comfortable, but also functional. The steering wheel is adjustable only in height and has a minimum set of buttons (Music Management). Illuminated switches on the steering wheel improves visual control of the operation of the audio system. The information display integrated into the dashboard reports the driver in Russian on the current modes of the car. For vehicles with 2.4 l engines in addition, among others, the transmission operation mode, current fuel consumption, average speed and stroke speed are displayed. The Grand Vitara salon has a huge number of all sorts of boxes and pockets, where you can put different useful little things.

Chairs of the driver and passenger with heated and sufficient for convenient location with a set and range of adjustments. In the second row of a five-door version of the place with a margin for three passengers, and here three passengers will work with difficulty in the back. In the 5-door model, the rear seat is equipped with an armrest that divides it into two chairs, which makes the convenience of the rear landing. The trunk of the five-door Grand Vitara is designed to transport 398 liters with a busy rearly nearby, folding the seats of the second row we will get the ability to upload up to 1386 liters. The short-shaped body of a crossover with four passengers has a tiny trunk at 184 liters, with a driver and front passenger, its cargo capacity increases to 964 liters.

In Russia, Grand Vitara 2013 model year is offered in three configurations. In the basic version, hydraulic power steering, electric windows of all doors, central locking, air conditioning, on-board computer, heated front armchairs, heated electric boiler, front and rear fog lights, six airbags, CD mp3 music, tissue upholstery, rubber 225/70 R16 on steel disks.

The maximum set contains the combined upholstery of the leather seats, color touch screen (6.1 inches), Garmin navigator, voice-controlled audio system (CD MP3 USB AUX iPhone and iPod, Bluetooth), cruise control, alloy wheels with rubber 225 / 60R18, Headlights with xenon filling and washer, engine start button.

In the process of updating, the technical characteristics of the Japanese crossover were not subject to special interference from the company's engineers. Fully independent front suspension with MacPherson racks and rear axle of multi-dimensions (five levers). Independent suspension and permanent four-wheel drive ensure the smoothness and stability on the road. The presence of blocking the inter-axis differential and reduced transmission in the dispensing box allow the car to overcome obstacles.

All 5-door models are equipped with a 3-mode all-wheel drive transmission with an enhanced friction inter-axis differential, which ensures the use of a wide range of variants of the traction force distribution for movement in different types of roads and off-road. The switch to one of the 3-X modes of the full drive is on the central console, which makes the most convenient selection of the required mode as possible. To switch to N (neutral) or 4l Lock modes (reduced transmission with a blocked inter-axis differential), the switching knob must be pulled out, which prevents accidental unwanted inclusion of these modes.

Under the hood familiar in dorestayling models petrol engines. The three-door version of the SUV is aggregated by a 107-strong motor volume of 1.6 liters. He accelerates the car up to 100 km / h for 14.4 seconds. Fuel consumption on average is 8.2-8.5 liters. The maximum speed is 160 km / h. The five-door modification is offered with 2.0 (140 hp) and 2.4 liters (169 hp). Transmission - 5-speed mechanical or 4-speed automatic. But the version of Suzuki Grand Vitara 3.2 liters no longer sell, apparently due to low demand. Diesel versions, alas, in the Russian market is also not.

The Grand Vitara 2013 developers paid special safety: the body design combines the rigid frame frame and the deformation zone absorbing the energy of the impact. The hardness of the body is amplified installed in the car's doors by shockproof beams.

On cars with a 3.2-liter engine, a car hold system on the rise and descent (Hill Hold Control, HHC) not only improves the active safety of the car, but also increases the car's passability in off-road conditions. Even the standard GRAND Vitara package includes ABS, EBD and six airbags: two frontal, two side and protective curtains. All cars are also equipped with special ISO Fix mounting elements for children's chairs and three-point safety belts (for front seats - with pretensioners and retention limiters).

Take a look at the harsh and invincible Suzuki Grand Vitara, the photo of which is shown below, and enjoy its grace and imbibeable will. Legend alive! And today we will look at the main advantages.

A couple of years ago, modern burers could observe in their lands a curious picture: the car drives around clean well-maintained roads, which resembling a mate of a military armored SUV and a dark sinister batmobile. It turned out that under a dense camouflage hid a new Japanese "Svozki" Suzuki Vitara 2018-2019. Here, admire the photo:

The problem is easier than the paired turnip. In order to save money for transportation, the manufacturer simply left the concept of IV-4 on the German factory, successfully demonstrated on the Frankfurt Auto Show. Adjusted over the design, the Japanese released the "stallion" to the will to make it faster to adapt to the conveyor production.

Historical reference

It all began, everything is not so sad. The history of the model originates in the past century. The car giant released the first, which in the local market was Muscudo. The four-cylinder "atmospheric", the volume of which was 1.6 liters, unbounded classical frame and four-wheel drive - such a newcomer Vitara appeared in front of world automotive public.

In 1991, the body was extended to the "five-door" and a distance of almost 4 m. In the cabin, more comfortably five adult men were arranged and sent, let's say fishing. The model received a prefix LONG.

In 1995, a unique creation of Japanese designers - X-90 was a compact development of only 3.71 m long. Inside placed only two - the driver and passenger, and the roof was easily dismantled and cleaned up in the trunk.

In 1998, the car received the cherished prefix "Grand". She became the second generation of the popular crossover. The car "grown", the design was modified beyond recognition, but a powerful frame remained in his right place. Here he is another Suzuki Grand Vitara in the photo:

In 2001, 7 people could sit in the car. The model received the XL 7 index, which meant an increase in the frame and, as a result, the dimensions of Suzuki's body Grand Vitara.

In 2005, revolution took place: the third generation of Suzuki Grand Vitara with a fully rethinking design began to the markets. The manufacturer has introduced new technical characteristics: refused, and the suspension made independent. The 3-door version received a conventional one-stranded transmission, and the "five-door" is a four-wheel drive.

In 2006, the Americans were able to acquire a real family SUV, which could comfortably accommodate seven people. This was the second generation of the extended version of XL 7, which came to Europe in 2007.

In 2008, the crossover rushed to the Russian market. Athletic and severe car appeared before the public at the Moscow Motor Show. Fresh 2,4- and 3,2-liter power plants appeared in the motor gamma. Restyling touched the appearance of the "samurai", and also improved noise insulation.

In 2010, European motorists were able to see the renewed version of Grand Vitara, who had lost "spares" on the trunk door.

In 2011, Japanese designers "pulled out" the presentability of the car, having released the Grand Vitara Special Edition and Grand Vitara Special Edition Exclusive to the Russian market. The Japanese began to look much more solid and more effectively due to the set of additional elements decorated the legendary body.

In 2012, the International Motor Show was held in Moscow, which was put on the stand a new modification of the Asian "Skakna". For 12 months of sports training, specifications have changed a lot. "Grand" turned into a young taut "businessman" with a courageous, dynamic and impenetrable character. Below is a photo of the updated Suzuki Machine Grand Vitara:

Despite the desperate attempts by the Japanese manufacturer to inspire world markets for further production of the machine with a 25-year history, the crisis failed to avoid. The North American market has completely refused the products of the Japanese company, and Europe agreed only to standard Vitar. Only Russian and Brazilian partners remained loyal to the popular brand.

Suzuki Grand Vitara: dimensions and appearance

Focusing in all sides of the corners of the body, a cold modeling look and a huge muscular mass - so briefly you can describe the current appearance of the "Japanese" aged. But there is still a beautiful trump card in a sleeve that is still at the business "Asian". The short front of the sink is the explicit advantage of the car in the camp of competitors that copy the long "noses" of each other. Although kind of fashion did not affect this item in design.

The profile is still terrible and stylishly look the blowing wheeled arches, which connect the deep slightly archaic toasting along the doors. Solidity add powerful wheels. Discs can be installed in two sizes: at 17 (8 spokes) and 18 inches (10 spokes). Tire size is available in three versions: 225/70 R16, 225/65 R17 or 225/60 R18. The pressure must be maintained by a standard - 2.2 atmosphere.

On the stern, everything is also hanging the familiar to the owners of the previous models with a spare wheel with the signature "Suzuki". At the edges of the trunk door, chrome-plated nameplates are shiny with the designation of the car modification.

As before, the picture is absolutely not spoiled by elegant vertical "columns" - overall lights with three sections. From above from the back side of the roof near a small antenna, the "Assistant" of the rear lamps lights up - repeater of stop signals. Rectangular reflectors are glowing in the dark bumper.

Specifications Suzuki Grand Vitara

For a four-year-old vents of Suzuki, Grand Vitara has impressive TTX. Many competitors will have to move to the huge overall dimensions to get into the close J-segment. Even the "three-door" in length takes 4060 mm, what to say about the 5-door version with 4500 mm! Width and height in both versions of the same: 1810 and 1695 mm, respectively. Also, by the way, unslab indicators: The overall passengers will not feel either the grana of the panic fear of claustrophobia, and high sedaws are unlikely to reach their head to the ceiling, even when driving around the bodies.

The remaining overall dimensions of the car cause only immense respect:

• The cutting mass of the "short" SUV is 1407 kg, the exhibit with 5 doors is 1533 kg.
• Full weight reaches 1830 and 2070 kg for three-door and five-door modifications, respectively.
• Wheel base for three doors - 2440 mm, and for a 5-door sample - 2640 mm.
• The volume of the trunk "Little" Suzuki Grand Vitara could be more than 184 liters. For a 5-door "samurai" with 398 liters, too, it was also possible to find an extra room in the cabin. With a folded sofa in the cabin, the volume of the trunk increases to 964 and 1386 liters, respectively.
• The volume of the fuel tank is limited to 55 or 66 liters of gasoline, depending on the machine variant.

Clien Suzuki Grand Vitara, if you trust the statements of the Japanese manufacturer, is 200 mm. So natural obstacles to such a ground clearance will be hard to get to the most intimate car - motor and transmission.

Features and photos of the Salon Grand Vitara

Just looking through the side glass into the interior of the car, you can immediately arrange all your ideas about the design on the shelves. Inside the owner and its passengers are awaiting huge cozy expanses. Excellent overall dimensions made itself felt. Ergonomics is adjusted with mathematical accuracy. It does not take this from the Japanese.

Each central console element is located on a comfortable height driver. And what is the quality of the fitting of materials in the cabin! It is not surprising that the crossover is still in demand among Russian "drivers". Just take a look at the photo of the Suzuki Szuzuki Grand Vitara:

But what is missing in the cabin? Having slid on a comfortable soft seat, the look "bits" in everything. Compact three-spoke steering wheel, ideal for four years old tidy, beautiful deflectors, strict central panel ... Stop, where is the display? Where did the "Multimedia" touch screen, which is not labeled today? However, the small disadvantage crosses the function of the electrical heating of the front armchairs, available in the basic configuration of the "Ozvodnik".

The standard SUV equipment also includes central locking, front airbags, good speaker system, power windows for all doors, power steering, ABS and EBD, climate control, immobilizer. For extra charge, the steering wheel in the cabin can be equipped with audio complex control keys, order a leather upholstery, set cruise control and invincible launch system.

Engine and transmission

After putting low fuel consumption in priority, the Japanese did not bust out to highlight the means to modernize the power units of the famous "Grand". In total, the model was built three motors with volumes of 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 liters.

The 1.6-liter "atmospheric" contains 106 "horses", creating a torque of 144 nm. The "engine" is mounted only on the "three-door" and can accelerate the machine to 100 km / h in 14.4 seconds. The fuel consumption of "Little" Suzuki Grand Vitara in the city will be about 10.2, and the autobahn is 7.1 liters. Included only 5-speed "mechanics".

2.0-liter gasoline engine issues 140 hp and 183 peak points. For 12.5 seconds, he accelerates the car to the "hundreds". With a mechanical gearbox for 5 bands, fuel consumption in the city reaches 10.6, beyond its limits - 7.1 liters. If you drive on a 4-speed "Automatic", the indicator grows about 1 liter.

The 2,4-liter power plant hides a huge herd of "horses" from 169 "heads." All this power develops a top point in 227 nm. Before "weave" - \u200b\u200bin 11.7 seconds. In urban conditions, the fuel consumption of a 4-cylinder engine gets to 11.4, and 7.6 liters on the track.

Conclusion

Surprisingly, the Japanese SUV still occupies a leading position in the entire model range of the manufacturer. Delighted any obvious weaknesses, the car demonstrates the strong features of the real hegemon on.

Uncompromising reliability, the original concept, tested by time, advanced technical characteristics and attracting the attention of Charm made from the shy newcomer of the end of the 80s of the purposeful and charismatic businessman, which still gives odds to many modern competitors.
