Suzuki Europe plonks the 1.9 DDiS diesel motor in the Vitara

08 Sep 2009

Suzuki Europe has launched the revised Grand Vitara for 2009 with the revolutionary 1.9 DDiS powerplant and it is well-prepared to make its Indian debut

Maruti Suzuki Ritz

Suzuki Great Britain has introduced a revised version of its 1.9 DDiS diesel powered SUV - the Grand Vitara SZ 5-door, for 2009. The powerful and torquey engine option puts the Grand Vitara in a league of world class diesel off-roaders with colossal 300Nm of torque right from 2000rpm and 129PS of power available from 3750rpm. Going by Suzuki's intention to focus on developing markets, this car might be on its way to the Indian sub-continent. The existing Grand Vitara models with 2.0 Litre and 2.4 Litre engine options have received strong positive response from the Indian customer base.

A diesel variant for the Grand Vitara for India will only make it an even more lucrative product in Suzuki India's current line-up. A powerful diesel like the 1.9 DDiS coupled to the 4x4 system gives the Grand Vitara amazing off-roading capacity and the massive 300Nm of torque means that she can be happily taken across rough terrain. Surely there is enough space in the Indian car arena for a potent and torquey 4x4 SUV like the Grand Vitara. The 2009 Grand Vitara diesel has improved significantly in terms of NVH levels with Suzuki employing new sound insulation measures to make sure that the NVH levels are under check at all speeds.

    funny, they call the SX4 the man amongst cars and now GV is referred to as 'she' , ha ha he he ho ho, but jokes apart, this SUV should come to India but they should price it below the Fortuner for it to succeed | Reply

    It's practicle if Maruti Suzuki productionises diesel version of Grand Vitara in India. If MSIL desires to bring it in the form form of CBU, the pricing will not be attractive at all to confront competition, and the 2WD variant which can be a forerunner in the segment may not be available at attractive price to the people. When launched shall we see this vehicle to be sold at around 10-11 lakhs.....???? | Reply

    I do agree with the comments of Faheem Saif, This should be priced in between 10-12 lacs, MSL has more concentrated for their small carsbut now a days SUV are more demanded. For MSL the SUV sector is chalenging subject to the limitation of the price factor. | Reply

    This car should come to India provided it is priced under 15lacs. Anything above that, will result in a cold response. 1900cc is nothing great, remember the Fortuner comes with a 3000cc diesel engine plus the Toyota tag. Maruti has not been too successful in selling high end products in the Indian market. | Reply
