Suzuki Grand Vitara Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2006 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6

For an SUV with all wheel drive full time and a small V6 fuel economy isn't bad at twenty miles per gallon. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
2006 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range
Smaller 2.7 V6 get great gas mileage, even though it has all wheel drive, 25mpg is common. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

2.7L 6 cyl. engine has a 18 mpg city 22 HWY. Not good enough. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
2006 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range
The fuel economy on this car could be a lot better. It can supposedly get up to 21 mpg, but we've never gotten over 17 mpg. We tak e good care of it, so I don't know what the problem is, but I would call it a gas guzzler. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
2006 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range
Ok for a vehicle of this size and configuration, but it compares unfavourably to vehicles that although superficially the same, could be expected to do better. Like not being in 4wd all the time. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
