Proof that even Maruti Suzuki can make a mistake. Where Honda found immense success with the petrol-engined urban CR-V, the Grand Vitara which was introduced with a powerful V6 petrol engine came a cropper. Perhaps luxury and Suzuki are yet to go hand-in-hand.

Lasting impression: The semi-monocoque construction means the Grand Vitara is more capable off-road than many other city-bred all-wheel drive vehicles.
