Suzuki’s third-generation Grand Vitara, which is offered in three- and five-door form, is a good option for those looking for a dependable small 4x4 with real off-road capability. Diesel and petrol variants are available and even the basic versions come with creature comforts such as climate control. Competitors that have more of an on-road bias will better suit most buyers, though, and no model is particularly frugal.
