Suzuki Grand Vitara vs. Honda CR-V Review

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Honda CR-V likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Honda CR-V and the Suzuki have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Suzuki.

Utility
The Honda CR-V and the Suzuki Grand Vitara can accommodate the same number of passengers. Towing is significantly more the Suzuki Grand Vitara's forte than it is the CR-V's.

Convenience
The Honda CR-V's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the Grand Vitara.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Honda CR-V offers a bit more head room than the Suzuki Grand Vitara, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Honda CR-V provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Grand Vitara, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Grand Vitara than the Honda CR-V because of its bigger tank. The Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Honda CR-V compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the CR-V to the dealership as the Suzuki. There really isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the CR-V is a little more economical than the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The CR-V won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Suzuki Grand Vitara. Regarding MSRP, the Suzuki doesn't cost much less than the Honda CR-V.

Warranty
The Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Honda CR-V have the same basic warranty.
