a grand WINNER

THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED REVEAL OF THE ALL-NEW GRAND VITARA WHICH LAUNCHED IN APRIL HAS GOT EVERYONE TALKING THANKS TO THE STUNNING DESIGN, COMPETITIVE PRICING AND FIT IN THIS EVER-COMPETING SUV MARKET

Twenty-five years after the Suzuki Grand Vitara was first introduced, we now welcome the launch of a muchanticipated Hybrid derivative. And to celebrate the launch, the CMH Suzuki team recently spent some time at the Suzuki SA factory to undergo training on the Grand Vitara. Here’s what they have to say about Suzuki’s exciting new offering.

COMPACT, QUIET WITH LOADS OF SAFETY FEATURES

Beautiful lines, compact with a lot of interior room. The Grand Vitara provides a very quiet, soft and smooth ride. The GL derivative is well designed to a particular standard with 7” Infotainment System, Keyless Entry, Mag Wheels and much more. The GLX model has added features like panoramic sunroof, 360 camera and

9” Infotainment System. Last but not least, the GLX Hybrid AllGrip is phenomenal on and off road with Hill Descent Control, and selective 4x4 terrain application.

The entire Grand Vitara range will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the SUV market, especially with all of its safety features providing you with peace of mind motoring! – Christo Saidt, Sales Manager

Safety First

Beautiful interior, lovely stitching on seats and comfortable road level noise – driving it on both tar and cement roads was very quiet. The entry level model has many wonderful features – almost as many as the GLX model. The GLX range has a panoramic sunroof, 360 Camera and 9” Display Screen, proving that decadence and safety can indeed combine. Above all else, when I drove the Grand Vitara, I felt safe. –

Good Handling

Experiencing the Grand Vitara on an advance driving course with its AllGrip on the gravel roads and crossing small rivers and bridges, was exciting. The car handles well, and I particularly enjoyed its light steering wheel. The all-new Grand Vitara is stylish, elegant and makes for the perfect compact SUV. Available in manual and automatic transmission, it has a 1,5l engine capacity with a 76kW power output. Experience the benefits for yourself! –

Great Value For Money

The design of the Grand Vitara ticks all the boxes. It’s spacious, elegant, stylish, packed with impressive features, economical and great value for money. Most importantly, it’s backed by Suzuki’s phenomenal 5-year/200 000km warranty, however, the real winner is the promotional six-year/90 000km service plan available until June 30. –

SPACIOUS, GOOD DESIGN AND INTELLIGENT

It’s absolutely beautiful! It’s spacious and comfortable with ample leg room –even for those destined to be NBA players. The design has also been very well thought out, with every single feature you can think of in the GLX AllGrip Hybrid. When it comes to 4x4 technology I was bowled over. I own a 4x4 and have done extensive 4x4 training and have driven the most hectic and hardcore 4x4 trails from KZN to the Eastern Cape – but thanks to this all-wheel drive, the handle and grip was phenomenal – even the rocks you’re driving over can barely be felt.

What impressed me the most was the Hill Descent Control. It’s completely effortless. All you need to do when you’re on a 90° decline is hit the brakes once and leave everything to the Grand Vitara. The car actually does its own braking so seamlessly and so intelligently. – Hanson Naidoo, Sales Executive *
