Grand Vitara

Redesigned for 2006, the Grand Vitara gains a healthy dose of refinement but with a twist. The new Grand Vitara rides on a car-like, unibody frame, but in this case it's beefed up with a built-in ladder frame to imbue it with added off-road toughness. Still, the unibody construction, along with a fully independent suspension makes for kinder, gentler ride and handling characteristics than the previous truck-based generation could muster. Power comes from a 3.4-liter V-6 engine that generates 185 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque, with a choice of a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. An available, dual-range, four-wheel-drive system includes a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing for off-road use, along with a fully automatic single-mode version. Front-side and side-curtain airbags are offered, along with anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and stability and traction control systems. The Grand Vitara is offered in one trim level with three optional equipment packages offered.
