Grand Vitara Facelift

Suzuki Grand Vitara facelift hadir di Malaysia pada Oktober 2008, giliran PT. Indomobil Niaga International, memastikan akan memperbaharui SUV andalannya pada Februari 2009 mendatang.

Berbeda dengan versi Malaysia, Grand Vitara terbaru di Indonesia akan mengusung mesin baru berkapasitas 2.4 liter yang bisa memuntahkan tenaga 166 hp dan kadar emisi yang lebih baik yaitu 208 g/km.

Grand Vitara facelift baru dengan mesin 2.4 liter rencananya akan diluncurkan Februari 2009. Pengujian akan dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari 2009 bertempat di kota Banjarmasin. Kota minyak tersebut dipilih mengingat kondisi lahannya yang masih banyak hutan dan berbukit sehingga bisa merefleksikan kekuatan dan ketangguhan dari SUV Grand Vitara.

Suzuki Grand Vitara facelift merupakan perbaikan kualitas mulai dari dari material, kelengkapan fitur, dan faktor keselamatan dari suzuki grand vitara sebelumnya. Sementara minor change dilakukan pada eksterior sehingga lebih gaya dan stylish.

Bila melihat facelift di Malaysia, Suzuki tidak banyak mengubah desain bumper depan Grand Vitara, kecuali penambahan lampu kabut (foglamp) yang posisinya telah dipindahkan lebih ke pinggir guna menciptakan kesan lebar. Suzuki juga mengganti grille depan meskipun tidak mencolok tapi sedikit banyak memberikan aroma sporty.

Penambahan yang patut dipuji adalah dalam hal keselamatan. Bila pendahulunya hanya memiliki rem cakram pada roda depan saja, kini Suzuki melengkapi keempat rodanya dengan rem cakram, berikut fitur-fitur keselamatan aktif seperti ABS (antilock braking system) dan EBD (electronic brake distribution). Tak ketinggalan velg Grand Vitara memakai desain baru yang terlihat lebih gagah.

Suzuki menyatakan bodi monokoknya juga telah ditingkatkan, yang disebut Suzuki sebagai Built-in Ladder Frame dengan material yang lebih ringan namun tetap memberikan kekokohan dengan metode konstruksi yang telah diperhitungkan dengan matang. Konstruksi yang rigid tersebut dipadukan dengan suspensi independen sehingga mampu meredam setiap kejutan di jalanan yang bergelombang.

Interior Grand Vitara facelift mendapat desain Multi-Information Display (MID) baru yang terintegrasi dengan meter cluster. Perubahan juga dilakukan pada panel pengontrol AC dan kontrol audio di lingkar kemudi lebih atraktif dengan illuminated. Material pelapis jok tetap menggunakan bahan fabric, namun Suzuki mengklaim telah meningkatkan kualitasnya sehingga lebih nyaman.
