The Grand Vitara is the new flagship for the Japanese firm. You can have the Grand Vitara in two flavours, the standard 1.5-litre petrol engine and the first ever from Suzuki South Africa mild hybrid petrol-electric powertrain. You still get the offroad prowess expected from the Grand Vitara and this model still does deliver on that elegantly. Luxury hasn't been ignored here as you enter the Grand Vitara's cabin. You're welcomed with cushy seats, spaciousness and convenient technology. It's pretty popular too. The Grand Vitara sounds quite enticing and promotes safety too.

Our Top 3 Safety Features
1. Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology
This is implemented in the body design of the Grand Vitara. It's a means to absorb crash energy in the event of an accident but disperse the energy in such a way as to prevent the cabin from deforming as much as possible to keep all occupants safe.
2. 6 Airbags
All models in the Grand Vitara range come with 6 airbags as standard. These are driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags that stretch across the cabin. No variant of the Grand Vitara is left out safety-wise.
3. No variant is left out
No matter what variant of the Grand Vitara you choose, the high-level safety equipment is the same across the range. You're getting everything that's listed above and rest assured you're definitely covered.
