Parallel parking a family car on Kloof Street during the lunch-hour rush? Eyeing a challenging gravel road leading to that highly recommended little country restaurant near Stellenbosch? Battling your way through Green Point’s notorious gridlock to a vital meeting, clock ticking?
Cape Town driving can mean city congestion one minute and off-road adventure the next. Luckily, the Suzuki Grand Vitara is built for both! Whether you’re weaving through traffic downtown or heading into the mountains after heavy rain, it handles it all with confidence.
Suzuki Grand Vitara Review - Ready for Anything
The Grand Vitara won’t mind when the tar ends! Its robust 1.5L petrol engine offers you 77 kW and 138 Nm of torque. So whether you’re making a tight U-turn in Kloof Nek or heading up a dusty farm track in the Winelands, the Vitara has the muscle you need. And here the Grand Vitara’s Mild-Hybrid ALLGRIP model particularly shines. Its intelligent ALLGRIP SELECT all-wheel-drive system offers you four driving modes:
- Auto for daily efficiency
- Sport for a bit more zip on the N2
- Snow for our surprisingly slick winter roads
- Lock for maximum traction on a particularly stubborn trail in the Cederberg.
Exploring the Western Cape with the Grand Vitara, from City to Trail
Whether you choose the smooth 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic transmission, or the 6-speed automatic in the hybrid, the Suzuki Grand Vitara delivers a consistently comfortable and responsive drive. Its compact size makes it easy to manoeuvre and park, while its robust build and reliable handling give you confidence behind the wheel.
This blend of compact agility and capable engineering is exactly what you need for Cape Town’s driving conditions. Zip through Sea Point traffic, snag that tight spot at the Pavilion, or head off to Cape Point for some fresh air and fur seal sightings – the Grand Vitara handles it all with ease!

Comfort and Safety for the Long and Short Haul
Whether tackling morning traffic or heading out for a weekend getaway, the Suzuki Grand Vitara is designed to keep you and your passengers comfortable and secure.
Inside, the spacious 5-seater cabin offers impressive comfort, with automatic climate control to keep the temperature just right and a leather-covered steering wheel for that extra touch of refinement.
The high-resolution 4.2-inch colour TFT display and large 9-inch (or 7-inch) touchscreen infotainment system provide seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, USB, Wi-Fi, or wireless connectivity.
When it comes to safety, the Grand Vitara doesn’t compromise either. Suzuki’s TECT (Total Effective Control Technology) forms the backbone of its crash safety structure. All models include six airbags, ABS with Emergency Brake Assist, electronic stability control, rear parking sensors, ISOfix child seat anchors, and Daytime Running Lights. Hill Hold Assist also comes standard, a welcome feature on Cape Town’s steeper inclines!
Built to handle both your daily drive and longer road trips, the Grand Vitara is a smart, secure, and stylish companion for life in the Western Cape.
Suzuki Grand Vitara Fuel Consumption and Environmental Benefits
Let’s face it: running a car in Cape Town isn’t cheap – but this is where the Suzuki Grand Vitara really shines. The frugal 2WD model delivers just 6.0 l/100 km, while the GLX AllGrip hybrid model goes even further with an impressive 5.6 litres per 100 km. Drive from Table View to Riebeek Kasteel and back without stressing about fuel costs!
Its excellent fuel efficiency and reduced emissions make the Grand Vitara a smart choice for environmentally conscious drivers. You get to enjoy a responsible, economical drive, all without giving up on performance or driving enjoyment.
