The name of the Suzuki Vitara was inspired by the Latin word "vita" - the same root as Vitality and Vital in English. Clearly the Japanese marque expected great things from this little SUV. Over its lifespan the Vitara has grown in size and now sits comfortably in versatile family car territory, growing from a small 3 door cabin with off-road aspirations to a larger 5 door model that can still hold its own in challenging conditions.

For a period in the early 2000s Vitara models were sold with the "Grand" prefix to reflect their larger size and presence. If you're considering a Vitara from that period make sure to include the "Grand" models in your searches.
