The SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (1998-06) GV2000 3DR SUV 2.0 AUTO is a compact three-door SUV, offering a tougher, taller alternative to a family hatchback. Its automatic gearbox and small footprint suit town driving, while the upright shape and four-wheel-drive character give it more confidence on rough tracks than a car. It is best suited to couples, solo drivers or households wanting a weekend vehicle, rather than maximum rear-seat or boot space. The 2.0-litre petrol engine prioritises performance over modern fuel savings. Compared with rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, the three-door Grand Vitara feels more compact and outdoorsy. Mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks across four VINs, a small sample, so figures are indicative rather than a market-wide picture. Checked examples averaged £500 in sale value, 59,000 miles and 2.8 previous keepers. These figures can help set expectations, but condition and service history matter on a vehicle of this age.
