2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara Review
2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara Review - The 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara is a bargain of a crossover for someone looking for a feature-packed, off-roadable vehicle that's not too concerned with cargo space. Suzuki's compact five-seat SUV, the Grand Vitara, carries forward unchanged for the 2012 model year, as it did for 2011. The 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara ranks 9 out of 20 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 74 published reviews and test drives of the Suzuki Grand Vitara, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. While the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara can handle itself off-road and has standard navigation, reviewers still say that its powertrain and cabin aren’t perfect.
Test drivers don’t call the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara a bad SUV. In fact, they like that it comes standard with navigation and are impressed with its off-road abilities. But they still have a lot to complain about. First, with both two- and four-wheel drive, the Vitara has poor fuel economy ratings for the class, even compared with compact SUVs with four- or all-wheel drive. Second, two-wheel drive models aren’t as refined on pavement or as powerful as models like the Toyota RAV4.
