Is the Grand Vitara's mild off road capability worthy of an SUV or just a glorified hatchback?
A very popular segment of the market is the compact SUV, with many vehicles offering SUV styling but limited off road capability. The Grand Vitara, though being marketed as an SUV, is mainly designed for urban and highway driving. All of this begs the question: Should it really be designed and marketed as an SUV? The debate often revolves around how to define an SUV, whether four inches of ground clearance and all wheel drive are necessary in the California suburbs, or whether consumers are being sold something they don't need. Though some claim that the SUV styling offers practical benefits, such as improved visibility and easier ingress/egress, many others urge it's purely a pretense of functionality which reduces efficiency and somehow handling. In addition, this discussion addresses broader trends in the automotive industry where traditional vehicle categories continue to blur.
It's definitely more capable than a hatch back. Combined with the AWD system and decent ground clearance, it’s light enough to do some light off roading. The Indian road conditions are perfect for it.
