Overview & Reviews

For 2003, Suzuki has updated the dashboard and console for a higher quality look. Other additions this year include aluminum wheels, a seven-speaker stereo system with a CD player, adjustable center armrest with CD storage, an overhead console with reading lamps and storage compartments and a smaller rear headrest design for better reward visibility. Also of note: the Limited model has been dropped this year and last year's JLS and JLX models have been merged, leaving only one trim level for 2003.

• Standard V6, distinctive looks, impressive list of standard features, low-range transfer case with the 4WD option.

• Harsh suspension, unimpressive brakes, cramped rear seats, lack of cargo space.

  The Best New Vehicle Ive Ever Owned! - 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  By Scott Tillson - August 24 - 12:33 pm

  I purchased my Geand Vitara new with 61 miles on it. I had to order from a place 45 miles away. I have had a great time in it. My 6 and 3 year olds have had lots of fun with us on the long trips from Norfolk, VA to Anniston, AL. We all were very comfortable the whole trip. If bad weather hit and we had to get out in it i just put it in 4x4 and had at it. I will never regret this purchase even if new cars depreciate quickly the moment that they are driven off the lot. I really love this truck. My family does too!

  This is an excellent car for in most categories. The major problem is interior room. Children even have a hard time sitting in the back seat. However, the car is great for around town and has plenty of power to play with. Solid construction.

  Value and then some - 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  By Mark - April 20 - 9:33 am

  I have owned my Grand Vit since Aug.2003. Bought it new w/only 60 (demo) miles on it. I dont drive much ( thats why the LOW mileage after over 18 months. I live in Syracuse, NY. We get lots of crappy weather including SNOW (measured in feet) during the winter months. One of the standard features for this model is elect/defrost for the power mirrors. It also has electronic climate control for heat/AC and a Clarion sound system w/ subwoofer right under the drivers seat. I think those clipboard toting snobs at JD Power are being way too techy/harsh. This is an EXCELLENT VALUE for anyone wanting an SUV (4WD capable) with quite a few creature comforts- not a LEXUS but u can buy 2 Suzukis

  Suzuki Grand Vitara - 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara

  I looked at the Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4, but I felt that the design and build quality of the Suzuki Grand Vitara were far superior. This vehicle is driven mainly on interstates across the Northeast and it has never let me down. With the V6 engine and a 5-speed transmission, its a blast to drive. Its fuel economy has been approximately 24 mpg highway, which is outstanding for a V6.
