Two New Models Further Reinforce Suzuki's Extensive 4x4 Range
Published: 14th April 2002
The Jimny O2 Soft Top
The youthful, fashionable looks of the unique and particularly well equipped
Jimny 4x4 Soft Top are further enhanced on the new Jimny O2 Special Edition
by alloy wheels, front fog lamps, special 2-tone metallic paint finish
and distinctive badging. On the inside a radio/CD player is added for
the additional enjoyment of the driver and passengers. Even with the inclusion
of this additional equipment - and in line with Suzuki's policy of providing
optimum value for money - at a maximum on the road price of £10,495*
the Jimny O2 is exceptionally competitive.
The 5-seat Grand Vitara XL-7
Launched in the UK in August, 2001 the 7-seat Grand Vitara XL-7 has formidable
off road abilities as well as all of the load carrying advantages of a
large estate car and - with its third row of seats - the passenger carrying
flexibility of an MPV.
Now the new XL-7 is available in a new configuration without the third row of seats to provide one of the largest load and luggage capacities in its class.
Even with the rear seats in their upright position this load space totals 900 litres [32 cu ft] whilst, with the rear seats folded flat, capacity increases to 1,687 litres [60 cu ft]. For security, a removable 'roller blind' type luggage cover for use when the rear seats are in their upright position, is standard.
With maximum on the road* prices of £18,995 for the 5-speed manual model and £19,945 for the 4-speed automatic the 5-seat XL-7 also emphasises Suzuki's commitment to offer exceptional value for money.
*inclusive of delivery, 12 months Government road fund licence and the first registration fee.

The Three Door Grand Vitara 1.6 Litre Range
Building on the heritage and reputation of the 1.6-litre Vitara, the 3-door
Grand Vitara range - priced from a maximum £12,495, delivered* -
includes two 1.6-litre, 16-valve Estates and the popular 1.6-litre 16-valve
Soft Top. As with Jimny the standard specification of all models is very

The Five Door Grand Vitara 2.0 Litre Range
Two other exceptionally popular Grand Vitara models - both with 5-doors

class and competitive fuel economy - complete the Suzuki 4x4 range. They
