We know your kind. You live life on the go, not on the couch. You're always looking for those uncrowded, yet-to-be-discovered spots to do what you do best. Paddle. Hike. Surf. Sometimes dirt happens, but you don't mind. With the all-new Grand Vitara, you have an authentic SUV with standard V6 power and available 4WD. At the heart of its advanced capabilities is its brand-new, full-time, Four-Mode 4WD System with "active torque split" -- an engineering feat that gives you confident, sure-footed performance when you're on the road, and superior, rock-solid traction when you're not.

With outstanding interior space, a choice of seating configurations and all kinds of storage compartments, the Grand Vitara offers you and everyone along for the ride the ultimate in comfort and utility.

Rugged on the outside, civilized on the inside, the all-new Grand Vitara offers a CD player with 4 speakers, even a 7-speaker stereo with a 6-disc changer, subwoofer and two tweeters, if you choose. You also get standard automatic climate control with a micron air-filtration system. And a long list of other amenities that take you to a higher level of refinement... even if you're at sea level.

When you're out enjoying the environment, it's good to know the Grand Vitara is built to protect. Out in the wilderness or out on the town, Grand Vitara kicks the safety factor up a couple of notches with two types of features: the kind that give you extra control to avoid problems, and the kind to help protect you if something should happen. Reinforced cabin structure and side-door impact bars, coupled with impact-absorbing crush zones and a built-in ladder frame, all help control the energy in a crash and protect occupants. Also standard are Daytime Running Lights (DRL), and an Antilock Braking System (ABS) that features Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) which assists you when braking in slippery conditions and helps you maintain steering control. Also, the Grand Vitara offers a comprehensive passive safety system that features both side-curtain airbags and driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side airbags to help protect occupants in the event of a collision.
