It has 24% more power, a better power-to-weight ratio, higher mpg and cleaner emissions than last year's 2. 7-liter V6. Not to be outdone, that standard 2. 4-liter 16-valve DOHC four-cylinder has one of the best 4WD MPG in its class. ER CONTROL The standard Electronic Stability Control Program (ESP®) constantly monitors Grand Vitara's trajectory and your steering input. [. . . ] If it detects skidding motion or loss of traction, it automatically adjusts throttle input and brake pressure. You keep control, and TRACTION 4WD High is great for most driving conditions. It helps give you smooth on-road performance and all-weather traction. 4WD High Lock powers you through mud and snow by distributing traction evenly to front and rear wheels. 4WD 4WD Low-Lock helps give you the traction you need to get out of--or into--the toughest road and off-road conditions. Grand Vitara helps keep you on the same trajectory. STOP! 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes help give you solid stopping power. And in case you ever need it for sudden stops, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps keep you in control. CLIMBER Off-road, the robust Grand Vitara leaves the other SUVs in the dust. With its available full-time, 4-mode 4WD system and low-range gearing with two-speed transfer case, you can lock it in low and take in the rough stuff without breaking a sweat.
