Ok sana, but the front bumper reminds me somewhat of the Crosswind/Sportivo's bumper. Tsaka matanda na rin tong kotse na to.

i like their seat design.. simple.. makes me want to copy it for my van.. hehehe..

The rear looks fugly and gay without the spare tire.

[basti08]

Yup, the original still looks better.



Im split with the new rear tailgate though

[renzo_d10]

Just like the 1st gen-CRVs with rear tailgate delete modification it looks wrong at any given angle.

Or maybe, we're just used to seeing the Vitara with its spare tire at the rear .. it makes the car look awkward without having one. But then again, the Adventure looks good even without the spare tire at the back, as well as the Crosswind.

Btw, the rear somehow reminds me of a Cherokee. Difference is, the Cherokee looks better.

Oh well.

I'm pretty sure it will face the same fate as the current one, if not even worse. The Xtrail looks better [in fact, I love it!] than the MMC Vitara and look where it is now.. hardly selling.

The CUV market is just dominated by the Korean vehicles.

Extremely satisfied owner of the 1st gen GV V6, 2.7-litre 185 hp! Looks exactly like the one above.

Cheers!

Proud and satisfied owner of Grand Vitara

After being transported 3,098 km, Suzie is finally here.

SWEETNESS!!!! :D

Yup the previous model GV still looks better. Suzuki should have just created an "all new" GV instead of a face-lifted one.

Like d_mac, I'm also an extremely very satisfied GV owner. Mine's the 2-liter 4x4 model. She saved my a$$ from Ondoy. I was on my way home, no street lights coz no electricity. I saw a pick-up wade through the flooded waters so I thought it wasn't too deep. So I drove on, first few meters water was half tire deep, then came to the intersection where the water was until my GV's hood... "Bahala na!" I said to myself sabay dasal hehe... I stepped on the gas pedal... diretso, ayun sa awa ng Diyos, my GV survived!!! Pinasukan yung flooring ng tubig but that was it. 3 years down the line, my GV is still working fine having only 2 PMS check up in the casa.

BRILLIANT statement sir!

Never been described so better!

Basta mga Suzuki GV simple lang sir, hindi pa high-profile, pero kumakana mga yan when it matters most, lalo na sa mahihirap na offroading o baha pa yan!

As posted just a while back in another Suzuki thread:

Yes sir! Basta ANY Suzuki brand, one of the best and trusted hehe....

Simple lang mga Suzuki pero kumakana, tunay na mandirigma hehe.... Walang tulak-kabigin

[d_mac]

Bukod sa lifetime maintenance-free timing chain ang makina ng GV, monocoque chassis with integrated ladder-frame na "tucked-in" mismo sa main chassis ang body construction nito - not outrigged gaya ng mga pickups, kaya mababa pa rin centre-of-gravity ng GV.




Itong feature na ito ng Grand Vitara makikita lang sa mga luxury SUV gaya ng Mercedes Benz.... Mas maasahan talaga sa tatag at tagal ang kaha ng GV kaysa sa mga counterparts nito

[Tj_abs]

Ok Suzuki matibay problem lang is after sales .

[d_mac]

Not in my case sir, walang pero-pero o problema sa akin when it comes to after sales on my GV - covered by Diamond Parts and Labour Warranty akin hanggang 225,000 km. Like we said, satisfied kami as Suzuki owners

Kanya-kanya style lang yan sir hehe

I assume you and your GV are based in the US?

Does the 2013 Grand Vitara also has the same structural specification (re: ladder frame, etc.) as our unit?

[d_mac]

Australia sir, and yes for the V6 GV, it's the same chassis structural design and the engine runs in lifetime maintenance-free timing chain. Least to say, I'm stoked with my Grand Guitara! Hehe

Does the 2013 Grand Vitara also has the same structural specification (re: ladder frame, etc.) as our unit?

Yes sir, the Guitara comes with the 2.4 VVT engine just like our Pinoy-issue Grand Vitara, but they come standard here in full-time 4x4 mode.

[3ple4]

*d_mac: Oh you're in Australia... hindi ka na lang bumili ng Holden or Mazda? Yan ang mga sikat dyan hehehe!!

[Ry_Tower]

Parang mali yung data sa top gear phil ng GV. Mahal eh. Pero sa official website ng Suzuki Phil may 2.4 4x2 RWD (P1.2M) at 3.2 V6 4WD (P1.7M) na variant kasi.

[d_mac]

*d_mac: Oh you're in Australia... hindi ka na lang bumili ng Holden or Mazda? Yan ang mga sikat dyan hehehe!!

Sikat din mga Guitara dito sir hehe, and those who own them rave a lot about them
....Alam mo naman pretty much outback ang Australia - labas ka lang ng mga major cities, desierto na sir!

The contemporaries here like the Rav 4, X-Trail, Forester, Captiva, Tucson or IX35, Sportage are described as soft-roaders.... And you get the point why, the Guitara is heaps better in real offroading stuff hehe

Moreso, i will take a Grand Vitara anytime, especially this V6 in offroading, over a 4x4 Jeep Patriot, a Fortuner (although walang Fortuner dito hehe), Santa Fe, Sorento, Alterra or MU-7 (wala din sila dito sir) and Monterosport (meron sila dito pero iba pangalan).... It's that good they are hehe.

Sulit-na-sulit mga ito, isa sa mga best buy ang mga Grand Vitara's!
