The SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (1998-06) 5DR SUV 2.7 V6 24V XL-7 AUTO 5ST is an automatic petrol SUV, offering a spacious, rugged alternative to family hatchbacks. In the UK it belongs to the older, less common 4x4 market, appealing to buyers wanting a high-riding vehicle with room and presence. mycarcheck.com has recorded 42 checks across 26 different VINs, a useful snapshot of this specialist model rather than a huge sample. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £1,500, average latest mileage of 91,000 miles and annual use around 4,000 miles; cars had about three previous keepers on average. The V6 engine and automatic gearbox make it relaxed for longer journeys, while its size and SUV stance suit family trips, rural driving and buyers who value comfort over low fuel bills. Against rivals such as the RAV4, it feels bigger and distinctive, but age and running costs deserve careful checks.
