Convenience
You likely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Patriot than with the Suzuki Grand Vitara, as both offer similar mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Jeep offers a bit more head room than the Suzuki Grand Vitara, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Jeep Patriot make it more spacious for your passengers than the Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Suzuki Grand Vitara than the Jeep Patriot because of its larger tank. The Jeep Patriot and the Suzuki Grand Vitara 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. The Patriot is significantly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Grand Vitara. The Suzuki pales in comparison to the Jeep Patriot regarding gas mileage.

The Jeep Patriot and the Suzuki Grand Vitara have the same basic after-sale protection.
