The all-new Suzuki Grand Vitara is now on sale in South Africa.

Suzuki’s all-new Grand Vitara is officially on sale in South Africa with a starting price of R339,900.

“The new model is a reinterpretation of the Grand Vitara concept and has been completely redesigned from the ground up, with a focus on style, technology and ride comfort,” said Brendon Carpenter, the brand marketing manager of Suzuki Auto.All models feature roof rails and 17-inch alloy wheels. In the GL model, the alloy wheels are painted, while the GLX versions have machine-polished rims of the same size.

GLX-versions of the Grand Vitara further receive a full leatherette interior, wireless charging tray, ambient lighting , and additional USB-charging sockets for rear passengers. The second engine on offer, and a first for Suzuki in South Africa, is the petrol engine with mild hybrid electric power . This engine uses a much higher compression ratio than its sibling and an always-on mild-hybrid system with a power output of 75.8 kW and 136.8 Nm.

The mild-hybrid version of the Grand Vitara has a six-speed automatic transmission with switchable all-wheel drive. This features Suzuki’s AllGrip Select system, automatically switching its power between the wheels depending on road conditions and driver input.
