About Suzuki Grand Vitara
The name Suzuki Grand Vitara may already be familiar to Indonesians.
Back in 1992, Suzuki once marketed the Vitara to Indonesian consumers and immediately received a positive response from them.
Apart from having an appearance that was considered stylish in its time, this car also relied on a snail when it was first launched.
This is one of Vitara’s advantages where most other SUVs in its class still use leaf springs.
Unfortunately, this car is no longer sold in Indonesia in 2018.
