A fully independent suspension aids in a comfortable ride--rough pavement and bumps aren't transmitted to the cabin's occupants. The steering is nicely weighted--the wheel itself is substantial and covered with grippy leather. Braking is very good and ABS and traction control are standard.
Base models ($25,495) boast an extensive list of features: automatic climate control, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power accessories and MP3/CD stereo with steering-wheel controls.
As you go up through the trim levels, you can add features like alloy wheels, a six-disc CD changer, privacy glass, a roof rack and the SmartPass keyless start system. Top of the line JLX Luxury models ($30,495) add 17-inch alloy wheels, moonroof, leather seating, heated front seats and wood grain trim.
Safety
There's an impressive array of safety features that come standard on all Grand Vitaras, including electronic stability control, antilock disc brakes, full-length side-curtain airbags and front seat side-impact airbags.
Clean, linear new design.
Refined, upscale interior.
