Hi Jakey,

Glad that you are getting a 2009 GV

Please post photos of your ride when it arrives.

I definitely will. I can do better than that: I can post pics of the new V6 too when it comes in.

It sure would be nice to see what the new engine looks like.

Even the interior was upgraded too, wonder what options your new 2009 GV
will have, as it varies from country to country.

Cheers,

Hello,

I´m living in Germany an drive the actuell Grand Vitara. I´ve ordered the faclift Modell.

Is it possible to put the 19" Alow wheels on the Modell 2009 or is there a different?


Thank you very much for your help!!!

Welcome mg1304!

The bolt pattern of the GV's wheels is PCD 114.3, so the 2009 GV wheels can fit in the earlier version.

BTW, what engine will your GV have - is the V6 available?

Cheers,

Interior is just slightly different, from what I've seen. They're arriving at dealers in Canada now so I guess the info isn't confidential anymore...

Beige cloth or leather int. in black, beige and white ext.; black cloth or leather int. in blue, grey and silver ext. The beige int. models have the dark wood accents that only the leather models had previously (both colours), while the black int. now has a kind of black/grey marbled "wood" trim that I wasn't sure about at first but is definitely growing on me. I have to say I prefer the beige cloth to the beige leather, and I was sure it was going to be the other way around. (I like the black better overall, cloth and leather, but I had low expectations for the GV beige cloth based on the SX4 sedan's beige cloth.)

I've driven both engines now, and I have to say I LOVE the I4. Very peppy and quieter than the old V6 on the h/way IMO. The new V6 is awesome of course but you'll pay for that in extra fuel consumption. I drive mostly city with a touch of h/way so I'll opt for the I4 next year. (Yeah: looks like I'm getting a white 2008 V6 in a couple of weeks as the 09's are reserved for dealers at the moment.)

Man, I love the blue! Damn it's going to be popular here.

GTA. We just started shipping them last week. ON, BC and AB dealers should have them or be getting them imminently, if they ordered them.
