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
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.
