Suzuki launched its first Vitara 20 years ago, creating the world’s first compact SUV and tapping into a new market for vehicles that deliver true off-road performance with responsive, fun-to-drive on-road performance. Since then the stylish and versatile SUV has steadily evolved and kept pace with growing demand for good-looking, versatile 4x4s that are as rewarding on the open road as they are motoring off the beaten track.

In developing the new flagship 2.4-litre Grand Vitara, Suzuki has consolidated the design and engineering qualities that have helped the model enjoy such enduring success, while introducing an all-round upgrade in terms of engine performance, equipment specifications, safety, styling and all-round quality.

Suzuki is celebrating the announcement of its new Vitara line, two decades after the very first one rolled off the factory ramp.

The new flagship 2.4-litre Grand Vitara will be available in three and five-door body styles.

The range will feature a 2.4-litre petrol engine that produces just over 200 g/km of CO2 emissions.

The engine will also include a number of new features that will appear for the first time on a Suzuki-designed powerplant. These are a balancer shaft, three-stage variable air intake and a tumble control valve in the intake ports.

The 2.4-litre Grand Vitara will come with ESP as standard, which uses selective wheel braking and controls engine output as necessary to stabilise the vehicle if it detects under or... // totallymotor.co.uk

These are the first pictures of Suzukis new GSX-R. With an all-new engine and radical new styling, the company is hoping to claim their share of the hotly competitive Supersport class.

Most import is an all-new engine with a larger bore and stroke than before (now 74.5mm x 57.3mm), a higher compression ratio, and revised fuel injectors to ensure a finer fuel mix with better combustion. This engine is also 60mm shorter than the previous engine which allows for a longer swingarm.

On the chassis front the new GSX-R1000 has a shorter, twin-spar cast cradle frame that has been mated to the new longer, arched swing-arm which is made of three castings. The wheelbase has also been shortened by 10mm. All of this is... // Wheels24.co.za
