Is she set on the Grand Vitara? I ask as the new Suzuki SX4 S-Cross lands in Suzuki showrooms next month and is an equivalent car, but much more up-to-date and with far superior engines. It would be much more refined than the aged Grand Vitara.
Of particular note is the impressive economy figures for the 120PS chain-cam petrol, around 50mpg combined, whether an ALL4 4WD or FWD version, fitted with a CVT auto box.
I viewed those mpg sceptically until I started reading road tests where the authors commended the petrol S-Cross as getting close it's claimed mpg. The Dailty Telegraph reviewer got 55mpg out of the 1.6 manual. Emissions for the petrol auto are 130g/km, not shabby either.
Unless your wife's mind is set, she should take a good look at the petrol auto SX4 S-Cross. It will certainly hold its value far better than an end-of-life Grand Vitara.
