Suzuki Grand Vitara – van versions of the mid-size SUV registered as light commercial vehicles: 1.9-litre diesel to 2.7-litre V6 petrol, 64 to 95 kW, also as the long XL-7 with seven seats
This page gathers Grand Vitara models registered as a van rather than a passenger car – visible in additions such as GRAND VITARA 2.0 VAN, GRAND VITARA TDI VAN AUT. or GRAND VITARA V6 VAN AUT., a commercial registration for two-seat versions of off-roaders common in several European countries. Suzuki launched the Grand Vitara in 1998 as the larger sibling of the Vitara and built it at Kosai in Japan and, for the European market, at Esztergom in Hungary. The XL-7 addition marks the extended version with a third row of seats and a V6 engine, DDiS the diesel engine bought in from Renault.

The register lists here 21 versions with 64 to 95 kW from four- and six-cylinders of 1,870 to 2,736 cm³, unladen weights from 1,430 to 1,810 kg, gross weights from 1,900 to 2,350 kg, lengths from 4,195 to 4,760 mm and widths from 1,780 to 1,880 mm.
The Grand Vitara positioned Suzuki in the growing compact-SUV class against models such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, while staying closer to a classic off-roader through genuine low-range gearing and a ladder frame (first generation); the van registration was used mainly by commercial owners for the tax advantage of a reduced seat count.
On a used example, rust on the sills and wheel arches, the condition of the four-wheel-drive clutch and transfer case, on the diesels the turbocharger and injection pump of the Renault unit, and on the V6 the timing belt or chain and cooling system count; parts run through the Suzuki network, and for the diesel technology partly through Renault suppliers.
