The very name Vitara appeared back in 1988. The first Suzuki Grand Vitara appeared in 1997, a serious update of the Suzuki Grand Vitara generations took place in 2005. It is the cars of the second generation that, after the last restyling in 2014, can be bought in Russia today. However, the production of these machines is discontinued; in 2015, completely new crossover Suzuki vitara .

But only a 1.6-liter engine is combined with a 3-door body, plus the top-end 2.4 version with automatic transmission. There are no diesels in Russia, although a 1.9-liter diesel is offered in Europe. For the American market, they offer a 3.5-liter gasoline V6.

The main advantage of the Suzuki Grand Vitara is the all-wheel drive transmission. Constant four-wheel drive has a center differential lock and a reduction gear in transfer case. Drive Grand Vitara 4х4 is a full-fledged off-road option with the ability to choose from several operating modes.

The transmission mode switch is located on the center console. There are 4 modes in total. This is a permanent all-wheel drive. 4H, next mode 4H Lock includes interaxle blocking differential. To connect a lower gear in severe off-road conditions, there is 4L Lock... There is a towing mode that disconnects the transmission from the power unit - N.

As for the choice of gearbox, only 5-speed mechanics are provided for the 3-door Grand Vitara (automatic only with a 2.4 engine). For the rest of the modifications, the same mechanical box, plus a 4-band automatic. To everything outside the road arsenal is added 20 cm ground clearance, although visually it seems that the clearance is much less. But let's believe in the honesty of the manufacturer.

The exterior of the current generation car has an angular design that is clearly outdated. In any case, the taste and color ... someone might like these body shapes. Further photos of Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Video Suzuki Grand Vitara

Quite a detailed test drive and video review of the crossover.

The times of popularity of the new Suzuki Grand Vitara are over. Dealers are selling off leftovers today, what market fate awaits a brand new crossover Suzuki Vitara 2015 unknown. The fact that the price of a car will be quite high is already clear, just look at the dynamics of the fall in the ruble exchange rate. Let's not guess, we will humbly wait for the new 2015. Next year could seriously reformat the entire car market Russia, because manufacturers and buyers will find themselves in a completely different reality.

The Japanese SUV Suzuki Grand Vitara in its latest version (body JT restyled) has been sold on the Russian market since 2012, and, in general, the second generation of the car debuted in 2005, having experienced several updates during its life cycle. In November 2016, the manufacturer announced the discontinuation of the model and the curtailment of sales in all countries. As such, the car has not acquired a successor, since the company relies on the Vitara and SX4 crossovers.

Since its appearance in Russia, the restyled Suzuki Grand Vitara has been offered in two body styles - three- and five-door. The more compact and maneuverable 3d modification is designed to carry 4 passengers, behind whose backs not too bulky cargo will fit (the basic luggage compartment volume is only 184 liters). The five-door version of the SUV surpasses its three-door counterpart in wheelbase (+200 mm) and overall body length (+440 mm). This increase was enough to form 5 full-fledged seats and a spacious luggage compartment with a capacity of 398 liters (increased to 1386 liters).

If at the dawn of its existence, the Grand Vitara was an "honest" frame SUV, then in recent years the body configuration has been revised. The ladder frame has now been integrated into the main structural frame, thereby increasing the ground clearance. The rest of the "off-road" ability of the car was almost unaffected. The main thing is that the permanent all-wheel drive has been preserved with an almost even distribution of traction between the axles (proportion 47/53), a central differential lock and a reduction gear. Added to this is an impenetrable suspension with powerful levers (front - MacPherson, rear - multi-link). With such a chassis architecture, the Suzuki Grand Vitara can force even a fairly serious off-road, since the geometry of the body does not obstruct this either.

In the line of car engines there are only time-tested atmospheric units that do not spoil with technical characteristics. The three-door Grand Vitara is equipped with 1.6-liter (106 hp) and 2.4-liter (166 hp) engines. automatic machine ", which is very close to the retirement age. Modification with a 1.6-liter engine, by the way, is the only one without a downshift.

The five-door version of the Grand Vitara also has two atmospheric "fours": 2.0 J20A (140 hp) and 2.4 J24B (169 hp) Each of them can be combined with a "mechanic" or "automatic".

The use of not the most "fresh" power units and transmissions does not allow at least some modification to distinguish itself in spurt from the spot. Even the top-end 2.4-liter versions look heavy, accelerating without much enthusiasm. Best result- 11.5 seconds shows Suzuki Grand Vitara 3D with 4АКПП. A five-door SUV with 5MKPP accelerates a little worse - 11.7 seconds. However, excessively active driving is also contraindicated due to the settings of the steering and brakes, which are not highly informative.

Fuel consumption of the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 fluctuates around 8.4 liters (manual transmission) or 8.9 liters (automatic transmission). Larger unit 2.4 169 hp consumes even more - 9.0 and 9.7 liters (respectively "mechanics" and "automatic")

The current generation of Suzuki Grand Vitara has been produced since 2005, and during this time the car has been updated several times. Yes, the period is rather long, especially for a crossover, but Grand Vitara has not lost its relevance. "Japanese" is presented in a 3 or 5-door version, the first one will be discussed.

In general, a three-door crossover or SUV is now quite difficult to meet, unless, of course, we take into account the Russian Lada 4 × 4. There are only a few cars in this segment, including the Suzuki Grand Vitara 3D. At first glance, the crossover is perceived as a woman's car due to its compact size, but this is not entirely true. Of course, it looks less serious than the five-door version, but at the same time it is more interesting and dynamic.

At the same time, there is something rough, one might even say masculine, in the appearance of the three-door "Vitara". Well, the impression is enhanced by the spare wheel hanging on back door just like a real SUV. As for specific figures, the length of the car is 4060 mm, height - 1810 mm, width - 1810 mm, wheelbase - 2440 mm.

But in the cabin of the three-door Suzuki Grand Vitara, little says that this is an SUV, even the high seating position does not convince. Design dashboard typical for passenger car, only the transmission mode switch says that the car is capable of driving outside the asphalt.

The salon of the "three-door Grand Vitara" looks somehow gloomy, even inserts for aluminum are not able to significantly revive it, some color display of the navigation system would not interfere with it, but, alas, it does not exist. However, using the audio system, climate control, and other functions is convenient and simple. Finishing materials used are of fairly high quality, pleasant to the eye and to the touch.

There is enough space in the front seats of the three-door Suzuki Grand Vitara, and the back is quite free, but only two passengers can sit there. The luggage compartment is small - its volume is only 184 liters, but folded backseat it can be increased to 964 liters.

What is a car on the move? So, the three-door Grand Vitara is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines- 1.6-liter capacity 106 Horse power and 2.4-liter, giving out 166 "horses". The first is combined with a 5-speed "mechanics", the second - with a 4-band "automatic". The behavior of the car on an asphalt surface is worthy of respect. True, the 106-horsepower unit for this crossover is catastrophically small - sometimes there is not enough traction, acceleration is sluggish, but before each overtaking it is better to calculate the trajectory in advance.
But the Grand Vitara 3D with a 166-horsepower engine rides noticeably more vigorously - there is almost always enough power and reserve of traction, only the old 4-band "automatic" somewhat conceals its real capabilities and is pretty dull. But even in this case, the car easily accelerates from medium speeds, which is why you can safely overtake.

The suspension of the Japanese "rogue" leaves a double impression. It works out fine irregularities, joints and pits perfectly, the ride is quite acceptable, but on an uneven ground the “Vitara-three-door” shakes noticeably, although the suspension does not allow breakdowns.

In general, the three-door Suzuki Grand Vitara is something between a crossover and an SUV. On the one hand, it has an honest permanent all-wheel drive with a center differential lock, a reduction gear, short overhangs and a base, but on the other hand, the suspension travels are not the greatest, and there is no frame and continuous axles. But everything is equal, the off-road potential of the car is high, it is capable of much, but the capabilities of the three-door "Vitara" should not be overestimated.

The three-door Suzuki Grand Vitara has its advantages and disadvantages, and if the former are similar to the five-door version, the latter are largely individual.
The positive aspects of the car include compact dimensions, overall structural reliability, good handling and cross-country ability, low price, affordable service, thoughtful ergonomics of the interior space and high-quality assembly.
Negative points - cramped back seat, small luggage compartment, not very convenient access to the rear sofa, is perceived by many as a woman's car, not a quick "automatic".

In the Russian market, the Suzuki Grand Vitara in 2015 with a three-door body costs from 1,139,000 rubles for the 106-strong version and from 1,539,000 rubles for a more powerful version. It is safe to say that for all its compact appearance, this is not a woman's car at all!

Take a look at the harsh and invincible Suzuki Grand Vitara, photo of which is presented below, and enjoy its grace and unbending willpower. The legend is alive! And today we will consider its main advantages.

A couple of years ago, modern burghers could observe a curious picture in their lands: a car drives around on clean, well-groomed roads, resembling from a distance a cross between a military armored SUV and a dark, sinister Batmobile. It turned out that under the dense camouflage hiding a new Japanese "SUV" Suzuki Vitara 2018-2019 year. Here, admire the photo:

The task is simpler than a steamed turnip. In order to save money on transportation, the manufacturer simply left the iV-4 concept, which was successfully demonstrated at the Frankfurt Auto Show, at the German plant. Having bewitched over the design, the Japanese released the "stallion" to the wild, so that he could quickly adapt to conveyor production.

Historical reference

It all started not so sadly. The history of the model dates back to the last century. The automobile giant released the first, which was called Escudo in the local market. A four-cylinder "atmospheric" with a volume of 1.6 liters, an unbreakable classic frame and four-wheel drive - this is how the "newcomer" Vitara appeared before the world automotive community.

In 1991, the body was extended to a "five-door" and a distance of almost 4 m. Five adult men settled down more comfortably in the cabin and went, say, on a fishing trip. The model received the prefix Long.

In 1995, a unique creation of Japanese designers appeared - the X-90 - a compact design with a length of only 3.71 m.Only two could fit inside - a driver and a passenger, and the roof was easily dismantled and retracted into the trunk.

In 1998, the car received the coveted Grand prefix. She became the second generation of the popular crossover. The car "grew up", the design was modified beyond recognition, but the powerful frame remained in its rightful place. Here it is - another Suzuki Grand Vitara in the photo:

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

In 2005, a revolution took place: the third generation of the Suzuki Grand Vitara began to enter the markets with a completely rethought design. The manufacturer introduced new technical characteristics: abandoned it, and made the suspension independent. The 3-door version received a conventional single-mode transmission, and the five-door version received four-wheel drive.

In 2006, Americans got the opportunity to acquire a real family SUV, which could comfortably accommodate seven people. This is how the second generation of the long version of the XL 7 came to be, which arrived in Europe in 2007.

In 2008, the crossover reached the Russian market. The athletic and stern car was presented to the public at the Moscow Motor Show. Fresh 2.4- and 3.2-liter power plants have appeared in the engine range. Restyling affected the appearance of the "samurai", and also improved sound insulation.

In 2010, European motorists were able to contemplate updated version Grand Vitara, which has lost the "spare wheel" on the tailgate.

In 2011, Japanese designers "tightened up" the presentability of the car, releasing on Russian market special configurations Grand Vitara Special Edition and Grand Vitara Special Edition Exclusive. "Japanese" began to look much more solid and effective due to the many additional elements that adorned the legendary body.

In 2012, Moscow hosted International Motor Show, where a new modification of the Asian "horse" was exhibited at the stand. For 12 months of sports training, the technical characteristics have changed a lot. “Grand” has turned into a young smart “businessman” with a courageous, dynamic and impenetrable character. Below is a photo of the updated Suzuki Grand Vitara car:

Despite the desperate attempts of the Japanese manufacturer to inspire the world markets for the further production of the machine with a 25-year history, the crisis could not be avoided. The North American market has given up on products altogether Japanese company, and Europe agreed only to the standard Vitara. Only Russian and Brazilian partners remained loyal to the popular brand.

Suzuki Grand Vitara: dimensions and appearance

The corners of the body sticking out in all directions, a cold, unemotional look and a huge muscle mass - this is how you can briefly describe the current appearance of the aged "Japanese". But the business "Asian" still has a wonderful trump card up his sleeve. The short front overhang is a clear advantage of the machine in the camp of competitors, copying long "noses" from each other. Although the mod did not seem to touch upon this point in the design at all.

In profile, the inflated wheel arches still look formidable and stylish, which are connected by a deep, slightly archaic stamping along the doors. Powerful wheels add solidity. The wheels are available in two sizes: 17 "(8-spoke) and 18" (10-spoke). Tire sizes are available in three sizes: 225/70 R16, 225/65 R17 or 225/60 R18. The pressure should be maintained at the standard 2.2 atmospheres.

At the stern, everything also hangs familiar to the owners of previous models. spare wheel with the brand name "SUZUKI". Chromed nameplates with the designation of the car modification shine along the edges of the tailgate.

As before, the picture is absolutely not spoiled by graceful vertical "columns" - parking lights with three sections. Above, on the rear side of the roof, near a small antenna, the "assistant" of the rear lamps - a brake light repeater - lights up. On rear bumper rectangular reflectors glow in the dark.

Specifications Suzuki Grand Vitara

For a car four years ago, the Suzuki Grand Vitara has impressive performance characteristics. Many competitors will have to move in order for huge dimensions managed to fit into the tight J-segment. Even the "three-door" is 4060 mm long, let alone the 5-door version with 4500 mm! The width and height are the same for both versions: 1810 and 1695 mm, respectively. Also, by the way, not weak indicators: oversized passengers will not feel a grain of panic fear of claustrophobia, and tall riders are unlikely to reach their heads up to the ceiling even when driving over bumps.

The rest of the dimensions of the machine cause only immeasurable respect:

• The curb weight of the "short" SUV is 1407 kg, and the exhibit with 5 doors is 1533 kg.
• The total weight reaches 1830 and 2070 kg for the three-door and five-door versions, respectively.
• The wheelbase for the three doors is 2440 mm, and for the 5-door model it is 2640 mm.
• The volume of the trunk of the "small" Suzuki Grand Vitara could be more than 184 liters. For a 5-door "samurai" with 398 liters, it was also possible to find additional space in the cabin. When the sofa is folded in the cabin, the boot volume 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 version of the car.

The clearance of the Suzuki Grand Vitara, if you trust the statements of the Japanese manufacturer, is 200 mm. So natural obstacles with such ground clearance it will be difficult to get to the most intimate in the car - the engine and transmission.

Features and photos of the Grand Vitara salon

Just looking through the side glass into the car interior, you can immediately arrange all your ideas about design on the shelves. Huge cozy spaces await the owner and his passengers inside. Excellent overall dimensions made themselves felt. Ergonomics verified with mathematical precision. This cannot be taken away from the Japanese.

Each element of the center console is located at a comfortable height for the driver. And what is the quality of the fit 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 Grand Vitara salon:

But what is missing in the cabin? Sliding to a comfortable soft seat, the look "bites" into everything. A compact three-spoke steering wheel, ideal for a four-year-old "tidy", beautiful deflectors, a strict central panel ... Stop, where is the display? Where has the "multimedia" touch screen disappeared, which is installed today by all and sundry ?! However, a minor drawback negates the function of electric heated front seats, available in the basic configuration of the "off-road vehicle".

The standard equipment of the SUV also includes central locking, front airbags, a good sound system, power windows for all doors, power steering, ABS and EBD, climate control, and an immobilizer. For a surcharge, the steering wheel in the cabin can be equipped with audio control keys, leather upholstery, cruise control and a keyless start system.

Engine and transmission

Prioritizing low consumption fuel, the Japanese were not stingy to allocate funds for the modernization of the power units of the famous "Grand". In total, three motors were built for the model with volumes of 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 liters.

1.6-liter "aspirated" contains 106 "horses", creating a torque of 144 Nm. The "engine" is mounted only on the "three-door" and is capable of accelerating the car to 100 km / h in 14.4 seconds. The fuel consumption of the "small" Suzuki Grand Vitara in the city is about 10.2 liters, and on the Autobahn - 7.1 liters. The kit includes only a 5-speed "mechanics".

The 2.0-liter petrol engine produces 140 hp. and 183 peak moments. For 12.5 seconds, he accelerates the car to "hundreds". WITH manual transmission on 5 ranges, fuel consumption in the city reaches 10.6 liters, outside it - 7.1 liters. If you drive a 4-speed "automatic", then the figure rises by about 1 liter.

2.4-liter power point hides a huge herd of "horses" of 169 "heads". All this power develops a top torque of 227 Nm. To "hundred parts" - in 11.7 seconds. In urban conditions, the fuel consumption of a 4-cylinder engine reaches 11.4 liters, and on the highway - 7.6 liters.

Conclusion

Surprisingly, the Japanese SUV is still at the forefront of everything lineup manufacturer. Devoid of any obvious weak points, the car demonstrates the strong traits of a true hegemon on.
