3rd August, 2006 Suzuki Australia has added an exciting new addition to the popular Grand Vitara product range with the launch of the Grand Vitara 'Prestige'. The 'Prestige' model provides an excellent value alternative for customers in the market for a luxury SUV with the power of a V6 engine. The 'Prestige' is an extension of the new Grand Vitara range launched in August of last year and compliments the existing variants which include the sporty 3 door with 1.6 litre engine and the 5 door variants available with a 2.0L engine or a powerful 2.7litre V6 engine. The 'Prestige' will be a higher specification model of the V6 in automatic transmission and boasts luxury features, as standard, including cruise control, leather steering wheel, leather upholstery and leather door panel trims, 6 disc in-dash CD stereo with MP3 capabilities, speed sensing volume control as well as 7 speakers including subwoofer. The bold and aggressive front face and sleek distinctive styling of the Grand Vitara exterior is further emphasised with the 'Prestige' model as it includes low profile tyres, 17 inch alloy rims and fog lamps. With an already extensive list of active safety features, the addition of side and curtain airbags to ABS with EBD, dual front SRS airbags, pre-tensioners and force limiters on front seatbelts and 3 point ELR rear seat belts ensures safety is kept to a premium. Perhaps the most unique feature of the Grand Vitara 'Prestige' is the keyless start function, allowing the driver to remotely unlock and start the engine with the push of a button, the only compact SUV in Australia offering this as standard. When all these features are combined with the standard equipment of the base model 2.7L V6 engine, such as ABS with EBD, dual SRS front air bags, remote keyless entry, power windows and mirrors, fuel consumption read out and climate controlled air-conditioning it becomes apparent that the Grand Vitara 'Prestige' provides the ultimate in value, comfort and style. The 'Prestige' offers buyers a maximum output of 135kW/6,000rpm and has a 4 mode 4 x 4 system operating from the main switch on the instrument panel. Comfortably seating five adults, the Grand Vitara 'Prestige' delivers a quality package in every aspect of its design, assembly and attention to engineering detail. The Grand Vitara 'Prestige' is on sale now and is priced from $36,990 and available in automatic transmission. The Grand Vitara 'Prestige' comes with Suzuki CustomerCare, providing customers with peace of mind via a three year/100,000km warranty and three year 24 hour roadside assistance. *** Please note product and pricing information issued by Suzuki Australia Pty Ltd may not be applicable in the state of QLD and in areas of Northern NSW (all areas north of the mouth of the Clarence River to Mungindi).*** |
