Grand Vitara 2003 changes

Post by Dee 4x4 »

Hi guys.

I've searched and read through a lot of threads about Grand Vitara's but still haven't been able to find anything about the changes to the Grand Vitara during 2003. (referring to the 99-03 model, and the 03-04 model).

I'm planning on purchasing one shortly and the only thing I can really notice is that the interior is different (a lot nicer in my opinion) but I'd hate to make my purchase and then realize that I'd made a mistake.

Are there any real mechanical differences between the models? Diffs? Timing chain fixes? Track width?

Cheers for the help.

Thanks. I checked that out earlier and there are a few little equipment changes as well as a difference of 5kg in weight :cool: but not what I'm after. Same engine, but is it exactly the same? I know not.

Thanks joeblow.

Looks like there's not too much to worry about when deciding between the two variants.
