2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara Luxury (Escudo) Review 

Glad the video helped - the only thing I don't like about Suzuki is the difficulty to find OEM parts these days. Otherwise, they are rock-solid vehicles. Thanks for watching!

Should be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat if I recall correctly. Thanks for watching!

@@redonKiLaus thanks, it was under the rug lol

@@luckystryke9709 Glad you found it!

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

It's an Aisin transmission

Ikr I was looking for this comment

@Mel Man And so it must be since the majority of the World drives on the same side of the road as the United States,don't they?

Interesting to hear on both counts! Thanks for watching!

I loved mine as well. Thanks for watching!

bought a 2014 2.4 170bhp petrol (UK)..very happy with it super quiet,maybe they improved sound proofing,it's running on Michelin Latitude 's... does 32mpg short runs...45 mpg longer run....all I have done to it is put in a Sony bluetooth double din head unit...mine has a combined rear disc main brake with a drum parking brake set up....happy enough with it,only fault is minor drip from the rear Diff axle seal which isn't a major job.

It's a great vehicle - biggest drawback is lack of parts ever since Suzuki left the North American market. Very small network for parts, and many are now unavailable. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

It was totaled 3 years ago - if it weren't for that, I still would. Thanks for watching!

Yes, the vehicle was made 100% in Japan, including the 2.7 V6. The 3.2 V6 in the 2009+ models is a GM motor assembled in Canada.

redonKiLaus loved the video. I have a request, can you please make a video on how to replace the ambient sensor on the grand vitara, cant find any videos that do show,need to change mine asap. Thanks

Unfortunately, the Grand Vitara was totalled last week, so there will not be any more videos on it. Thanks for watching!

+redonKiLaus so where is the car now? because I really need some parts for my grand vitara like the abs module.

How was it totalled?

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

@@redonKiLaus I just bought one in Jamaica a 2010

Majority of the world rules! Thanks for watching!

Yeah i noticed that too, it was reasonably helpful as far as the features go, but pretty cringe-worthy to watch. It has plenty of power, and drum brakes are actually more effective than disks, they just suffer from brake fade quicker and are a pain to work on. The cup holders aren't designed for Japanese cups, EVERYONE else uses this size cup, its just Americans and perhaps Canadians that indulge in obese sizes.

EXACTLY

+Gabriel França Mine got around 8-8.5 km/liter when I had it, driving about 50/50 city/highway. 2.7L V6, 5 speed automatic, 4WD. Perhaps yours needs a tune-up, or your driving habits lead to lower mileage. Thanks for watching!

+redonKiLaus Your's use regular gasoline too? (Here in Brasil, we call "comun gasoline", i think that there is called regular gasoline).

Yes, it ran on regular gasoline. 87 AKI octane.

Gabriel, qual modelo você tem?

Modelo 2009

Thanks for watching!

Mine has never let me down either. I just wish I could get more of the awesome JDM parts over here in the US. Thanks for watching!
