Price Range: £13,600 to £18,975
Genuine off-road capability, well-equipped.
Limited on-road ability, coarse 2.4, plasticky interior, fragile ride.
Refreshed, value-packed Suzuki still feels its age against more modern alternatives.
After three years and 36,000 miles a Grand Vitara is worth between 46-48% of its original new price - a fine effort and one that mirrors values for the similarly priced Qashqai.
The more expensive Honda CR-V is a better investment, though. A three-year-old CR-V retains between 53-60% of its original outlay making it one of the lowest depreciating vehicles money can buy.
