Car Profiles - Suzuki Grand Vitara

SUZUKI GRAND VITARA

While other competitors are having fresh designs and runs on either front or four wheels, the Grand Vitara is rather basic since it goes with rear wheel drive. Other than that, there's no other reason to get this one.

The Good: Performs well off-road
The Bad: Getting old

Price Range: P1,160,000
