Suzuki Grand Vitara Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2008) — Third Generation
The third-generation Suzuki Grand Vitara blends compact SUV practicality with genuine off-road ability, offered as a three- or five-door. Its body-on-frame construction and selectable four-wheel drive distinguish it from car-based rivals.
The third-generation Grand Vitara offered a range of petrol and diesel engines. A 1.6-litre petrol with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive suited everyday driving, while a 1.9-litre diesel provided stronger low-speed pull for towing or rough terrain. For those prioritising comfort, a 2.4-litre petrol could be paired with an automatic transmission in rear-wheel-drive form.

Trim levels affected both comfort and convenience. For example, the 2.0-litre automatic all-wheel-drive five-door came in JLX and JLX-AL specifications. JLX-AL typically added features like leather upholstery or an upgraded audio system, while JLX covered the essentials. Equipment varied by market, so buyers should verify specifics for their region.
