  • Hey Guys and Gals!
    In this video Lachy and I head out to Glasshouse Mountains Forestry for him to take his new Suzuki Grand Vitara Off-road for the first time!
    We start by tackling some easier trails and getting him used to picking the right line for his 4wd. We then progress to some harder tracks along the powerlines track were you can see the traction control working realy well to keep drive to all four wheels.
    The 2014 Suzuki Grand Vitara is completely standard with no modifictions "YET" !
    It has a 2.4L 4 Cylinder petrol engine with an automatic gearbox with traction control. The highway terrain tyres slicked up with the mud quite easily but performed fine on the dirt and gravel roads.

    I think the grand Vitara is a true crossover i.e a true cross between family car and hardcore offroader. Not just a jacked up hatchback like the new Vitara

    Nice. Daughter just picked up a 2008 3.2 v6 auto 5 door GV. We're in the Glasshouse area, looking forward to teaching her what the GV can do without going crazy.

    Go the Grand Vitara mate ! You're into it champ ... well done !!! They're actually a very capable and comfortable little beast. We've got a 2006 V6 and we got camping in it all the time into some pretty wild tracks. As long as you know your limitations and don't expect it to drive like a rock crawling monster truck, it will get you in, and out, of most places you take it. Again, good stuff champ

      How does it go on soft sand like the beach, looking at getting one soon.

      Anarchy sorry mate, I only just saw this comment now ... don’t know if you’re still in the market but yes, can highly recommend them and just great for camping and the like 👍👍
      Hope you got yourself one already, let me know how you got on. 😉

      chris lawes mate I don’t really do much beach driving myself but I have heard they’re great on sand because unlike some of the bigger heavier Patrols and LandCruisers etc, they don’t really bog down too much being a fair bit lighter and still having a decent bit of power. 👍

    Just bought a 2014 5 door 2.4 petrol...really impressed with it,built like a tank underneath....sitting at 44mpg on a motorway run cruising at 60 mph,32 mpg around the town, you wouldn't hear it running,they did a great job refining that engine...although very good underneath I took a day and repainted all the metal arms and framing underneath with an epoxy black paint,and gave it a coating of waxoyle,should last me a while lol.

    Mine has a 50mm lift and slightly larger AT tyres. These two mods alone make a huge difference to off road ability.

    I love my 2008 Grand Vitara (2.7L V6). I don't take it to rock climbing-off roads, we have a truck for the job. But the GV is super capable and reliable in the Canada winter's heavy snow.

    Suzuki's TC and VSC have to be one of the best . I have been saved twice on wet roads because of the VSC straightening the car when it slid to the wrong side of the road.Shame I sold it....having said that I am driving car number 28 in 26 years....

      He hasn't done any extra mods yet, but he definitely enjoyed going out 4wding. We went up the beach the other weekend and he loved it! Good fun : D

      How did it go on the beach? Much soft sand? Want to get a car capable of tackling sand but would much rather the extra space and comfort of a gv than a Jimny

    with a 2 inch lift and bigger tyres would you consider the GV a viable offroader ?

      Absolutely Chris! They are a very capable 4wd and with a lift kit and bigger tyres you will be able to get to some amazing places 👍😁
