The third-generation Suzuki Grand Vitara (JT/JB) sold in Australia from 2005 to 2017 is a compact ladder-of-old-school body-on-monocoque 4x4 that keeps a proper full-time 4-mode transfer case with low range on most versions, making it more genuinely off-road capable than the crossovers it competed against. Buyers choose between the short-wheelbase 3-door GV3, the RWD-only Urban/Navigator city versions, and the 4WD Sport, Prestige, V6 and 1.9L turbo-diesel. It is mechanically simple and durable (the 2.4L J24B four is a known long-lifer), but thirsty for its size and short on modern driver-assist tech, so used shoppers should treat it as a value proper-4x4 rather than a soft family SUV.
