    i have a 2008 Suzuki grand Vitara 4wd 2.0 petrol model, its been the best car ive ever owned and i love it, its now done 425,000k and still going strong 💪 i looked at the model before this one but was very disappointed so didn't bother replacing my current one, this model looks way better, but what's the motor, the 12v hybrid system sounds like a joke, i mean why even bother, i hope the motor is not some 1.0 to 1.5 turbo rubbish like a lot of the cars seem to have now days.

    Took the GLX for a test drive yesterday and was disappointed by the power on uphills and acceleration at speed. It is only a 1.5l engine, but it's just too much car for that size engine

      It’s also a naturally aspirated engine so no turbo. Won’t be as peppy as other modern engines but will out last them.

      @Shawn Jooste no doubt, however my 2007 Ford Fiesta has more oomph going uphill and unfortunately that little extra power is needed on hills and when overtaking at speed

    Very nice looking and features, love that Sun roof, but I wouldn't even consider test driving it with that 1.5 NA motor. It would really have been Grand if it came with the 1.4T motor. I can only imagine how bad it is at altitude. I guess not many will sell in GP, maybe Cpt and DBN only. Hopefully we'll get a Turbo version later.

    The GLX should of been turbocharge with at least 200nm of torque this would of been the perfect. Very smart looking car especially for a big family.

    • @teddym2808
      @teddym2808 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Geez even the standard Vitara's turbo engine isn't enough. Suzuki refuse to provide adequate power to their vehicles, therefore I continue to choose competing SUVs every time. My car is the same length as the grand vitara, about 20K more than the top shelf vitara here in OZ so if it was sold in grand form I would presume about 10K more, and is actually legit quick (cupra, 300HP/400nm).
      But you can spend less and get cars with much more powerful engines than what Suzuki offers.

    I think for the price point, this is a nice family car. People moaning about the lack of power. I guess if you coming from a car with power to something like this it might seem like an issue but if you coming from a car with lower power, wouldn't mind it.

    Its a big improvement of the previous gen known as the Vitara Brezza but the price jump is not a value proposition to South Africans. At this price point the Subaru XV is leaps and bounds a more substantial vehicle.
