Suzuki has proven some urban legends do exist with the release of a new Grand Vitara.
The new Grand Vitara Urban adds new levels of creature comforts to Australia's most awarded compact SUV.
Standard equipment on the Grand Vitara Urban includes Bluetooth hands-free technology, rear park assist and stylish alloy wheels.
"Grand Vitara has always been recognized for its outstanding off road credentials, but it's just as comfortable in the urban jungle as well," said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers.
"Suzuki invented the compact SUV segment and we know that our customers appreciate the space and grace that can be found in every Grand Vitara model.
"The Grand Vitara Urban takes all those attributes and adds the convenience of Bluetooth and rear parking assist – features we know customers look for in a city car that combines the best of both worlds".
Bluetooth technology offers numerous advantages via wireless hands-free phone systems and eliminates the need for physical phone connections and conventional hand piece cradles.
The Grand Vitara Urban kit allows multiple Bluetooth-enabled phones to automatically connect to the system, even if the phone is hidden in a pocket, jacket or briefcase, providing a truly hands-free system.
Integrated into the existing Suzuki audio system, it allows the driver to answer calls comfortably and conveniently by automatically muting the audio system and providing control via a selection of user friendly interfaces, including voice command.
It comes complete with a small, single button answer switch integrated with a powerful microphone, while volume levels can be controlled via the Suzuki's steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
Calls can be answered, initiated, disconnected, redialed and placed on hold with a simple press of one button. The unit is also capable of voice commands if this is supported by the mobile phone.
Devers said the Grand Vitara Urban stayed true to the Suzuki philosophy of providing outstanding value for money, with a price of just $31,990 driveaway.
"Suzuki has smashed another myth with the Grand Vitara Urban proving you can have the best of both worlds at a price you can afford."
