Equipment and practical details

Suzuki Grand Vitara · Generation 1 · USA · 09.1997 - 08.2005. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Frame construction
On a frame-based version, check the frame identification, condition and body mountings. A frame alone does not establish permitted loads or all-wheel-drive capability.
MacPherson front suspension
For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
