    Parang modified lang yung 2009 model... 4x2 na 2.4L and selling at the price similar to my 2006 model (4x4 2.0L). Tsaka beige na yung interior and pinalitan ng konti yung aircon & stereo panels.

    Well,from what I've analyzed so far:

    - new 2.4L VVT engine
    - more soundproofing for lesser noise
    - front and rear disc brakes
    - new panel with auto climate control
    - R17 tires

    Too bad its just 4x2 for the price of a 4x4. Do you guys think its worth it?

    i think not. i just think not po kasi para sakin lang po a 2.0 pa lang kayang kaya na yung vitara na yan. just sharing my opinion po

    (i dont know din why give it a bigger engine like yung 3.0 nila kung maliit lang din naman yung car. as far as i know it's the same size as the previous gen of the rav4 so medyo maliit talaga kagaya ng tucson at sportage. pero payag ako 3.0 engine niya if the version was yung concept na Dune Grand Vitara :D)

    I have been salivating for a vitara since last year, the only reason i didnt bought it is because i put a premium on space which the vitara doesnt have, but at any rate if i can afford it this year i might get one for my wife. Its just sooooo nice a car!

    kaya po siguro may ginawang 3.0 para maipasok sa suv category well correct me if im wrong
    sabi kasi ng SA namin sa isuzu bakit daw ayaw nilang maglabas ng 3.0 na crosswind is because hindi na daw AUV ang category magiging SUV na which is may alterra na sila

    I guess its ok, at least at P1.75M, its still priced lower than the 4WD RAV4 with a 2.4 inline-4.

    You will expect a stiffer ride than CRV or RAV4 Because it is a real SUV but you will get used to it especially if you are used in driving pickup trucks. The new engine is a lot smoother, more quiet and powerful than the previous version. Road and wind noise was significantly improved.

    Even it's 2.0, 2.4 and 2.7 engine, the Grand Vitara is still classified as SUV because of its off-road capability. Hindi po ako familiar kung paano ang pag-categorize between AUV and SUV, pero siguro hindi lang naman engine ang basehan. Ang alam ko lang sa AUV it is like a big car (people transporter) similar to cross-over sa US, hindi kagaya ng (real) SUV na kayang umakyat ng bundok. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Aside from being more quiet, smooth/refined and powerful, the new 3.2L V6 engine was reported to be more fuel efficient than the 2.7L V6

    i think it's wrong po. suv pa rin ang Gvitara na yan kaso compact lang kahit na ba 1.6 or 2.0 pa makina niya i think it's base on the structure po. vitara = compact, altera = midsize. the displacement might be just for the power and economy (if any)

    AUV - Asian Utility Vehicle, refers to vehicles that can seat more than 5 persons (Utility) and usually available only in Asian countries since they do not meet US and Euro safety standards.

    hi guys. i just resigned last friday as s.a. of suzuki makati. im now a freelance car broker for all brands. anyways. with regards to the 2.4 gvitara, you guys are right. there isnt much difference. same shape (the best among compact suvs) & size. the engine of course is a 2.4L but the good thing about it compared to the 2.0 is that its already a vvt just like the 2.7L plus its a rear wheel drive. interiorwise, correct with the beige color, just like with the 2.7 that has a beige interior available for black and white body colors. the multi info display center wc was used to be found at the center of the dash above the sound system is now located at the base of the optitron dials wc has an added feature. the previous info that u may get was outside temperature, digital clock and instantanous fuel comsumption, now you may also know how far your gas can get you (hehehe). the only thing i didnt like much about this gvit is its steering wheel. hindi leather. other than that i love everything bout it na. with regards to the 3.2L ive seen one sa plant. same size same shape, the features of the great 2.7L version are applied to the 3.2L v6 and the side mirrors have flashers(turn signal light) they say that it has GPS but that is still to be confirmed for im still requesting for the exact features and specs of the model. whats frustrating though is that it is only available thru indent order. reservation (non refundable) of 100k and a waiting period of about four months. if anyone is interested to dont hesitate to give me a txt or call * 0923-979-8596. ill find the best deals for you specially at financing all for free. hope this helped.
