2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara review
Suzuki's Grand Vitara small crossover is one of the few in its class to offer relatively sophisticated off-road capability, something that's increasingly difficult to find in most crossovers.
While that capability will appeal to a certain group of shoppers, what's most impressive about the Grand Vitara is that it also boasts on-road driving characteristics that rival those same competitors.
Even though the Grand Vitara's driving experience is one of its strong points, its interior design significantly lags the competition, which is advancing quickly.
