These instructions apply to the Suzuki Grand Vitara Mk2 (JB) 2005-2015.

Full specifications for the Suzuki Grand Vitara (JB, second generation), laid out by variant. The column below covers the 1.6 VVT (M16A) petrol three-door with four-wheel drive. Figures are compiled from the manufacturer’s Certificate of Conformity; confirm anything critical against your own car’s papers.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Homologation (Certificate of Conformity) · Owner's manual · Workshop data. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit. † A safety-critical figure (wheel-nut torque, spark-plug gap or A/C refrigerant) is shown only when an OEM manual or factory service manual confirms it — otherwise it is withheld; always use the official figures for your car.
A dash (—) means we haven’t yet verified that figure for that variant, not that it doesn’t exist. A variant that isn’t listed was either not sold in this market or isn’t sourced yet. Each column shows that market’s own figures on its own test standard — we don’t convert economy or emissions between markets.
