| Road Test |
The five-passenger Grand Vitara compact SUV is reasonably civilized on-road, and it has the goods to perform decently off-road--including such features as a ladder frame and truck-style four-wheel drive with low-range gearing. The redesigned unibody construction, along with a fully independent suspension, results in a kinder, gentler ride and handling characteristics in the 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara than the previous truck-based generation could muster.
