2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara at the Moscow Motor Show 2012: In recent times, the European SUV trend for Road, within the motorsport sector has been increasing. But SUVs are for drivers who want to go further and want to ensure good performance off-road vehicle. The Suzuki Grand Vitara has always tried to provide everything you need to keep their owners happy, but historically has met with great rivals. In the Hall of Moscow has submitted the update to catch up of the major reference segment.

The new generation Grand Vitara has been officially presented at the Moscow Motor Show to determine their fate in the European continent but Russia really is a world apart. It is the first step before the model is present at the Paris Motor Show next September. Unlike what we could imagine at first, the Grand Vitara will get a little radical change, preserving an image similar to that found in the current generation model.

The Suzuki Grand Vitara wants to be an example of practicality and simplicity within the world of SUVs. Increasingly, models of this large segment are presented with more detailed and unique elements, so as a result we find that their prices start SUVs to 80,000 euros, as in the case of the new Toyota LC 200, and you lose the desire to submit to testing off-road qualities despite presenting for that.

Few changes to the exterior
In Japan, the Grand Vitara Escudo know him as well as this year has received an update, but more clearly. In Europe the next generation of the SUV comes with a number of very significant changes. On the outside, the bumpers have been modified to determine a more modern image.

In the front, a new grille opens more striking, with some chrome detail to further convince the public within the SUV enthusiast.

Reduced engine range
if few cosmetic changes, so does your engine, instead of incorporating new options has been reduced range. Moscow has made official the new Grand Vitara is only available with three petrol engines. But really, following the general interests of European users, you may be presented in Paris new diesel versions in both three-door and five-door on.

For now, the gasoline engines are a 1.6 liter 106 hp less potent as an option, then find a 2.0i 16v with 140 CV and finally the most potent compound for 2.4i 16V engine capable of developing a maximum power of 170 hp including automatic transmission.

Despite being an SUV that the manufacturer considers suitable for any type of route, has no gearbox, so it has its limitations off-road, the next generation will remain the case and could be considered a cheap alternative to the Toyota RAV-4
