Available in both automatic and manual versions, the Grand Vitara is a direct import from Japan. The design is fresh and the interiors have been done up quite well to give it a touch of class. The new Grand Vitara is a strict five-seater now. Like all newer cars, it comes fitted with front and side bags and has ABS and EBD as standard. The auto tranny is a four-speed unit and the 138bhp engine not powerful enough to set the grass on fire. But it is certainly a good choice for those looking for a smart and competent SUV.
