How about a 7-seater Grand Vitara?

1 star for Suzuki’s Star – Swift
Suzuki Swift Shocker: Popular Car’s One-Star Safety Rating Sparks Debate The Suzuki Swift, a beloved vehicle among drivers of all ages, has hit a speed bump on its road to success—a dismal one-star ANCAP safety rating in Australia has tarnished its reputation.

Swiftly Going Fourth – 2024 Suzuki Swift RSC Hybrid Review
One simply can’t imagine the small car game without the Suzuki Swift. Such has been the appeal, it has held a firm foothold among its competitors over here for almost a generation and just about anyone out there could think of someone, from a family member to a work colleague, who owns one.

Nifty Swifty – 4th gen Swift GLS and RSC review
Just a few weeks ago, I had an interesting experience trying out two trim levels of a car for a few days each, back to back. And it seems I’ve turned this into a thing, because now I had two (actually, the two) trim levels of the Suzuki Swift for an evaluation. I started my […]

More Vibrant Vitara is Vital – Suzuki Vitara Hybrid JLX AWD review
To me, the Suzuki Vitara has always been a fun in the sun kind of SUV. When I was much younger, it was a go to rental in the Spanish islands and offered a joyous mix of effervescence and freedom. Well now, not only has the latest version been modernised inside and out, but it’s […]

Runaround Suz: Suzuki Ignis LTD Review
It’s easy to pick out a Suzuki Ignis on the road when you see one. There are few city cars for sale in New Zealand that look as funky and quintessentially Japanese. As we don’t get small Japanese Kei Cars new in New Zealand, the Ignis is probably the only mainstream car which has all […]
