Every Suzuki Grand Vitara generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Suzuki Grand Vitara, 441 lb of it since 1999, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1999–2005 | 161.4″ | 70.1″ | 68.5″ | 97.6″ | 3,197 lb |
| 2006–2014 | 168.9″ | 71.3″ | 66.9″ | 103.9″ | 3,638 lb |
From 1999 to today the Grand Vitara gained 7.5″ of length (5%) and 441 lb of weight (14%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.

Will a Grand Vitara fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 14.1-foot Suzuki Grand Vitara it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the Grand Vitara clears the garage by 4.9 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 14.1 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 14.1 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.9 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 600 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 71.3″ | 68.9″ | +2.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 103.9″ | 100.8″ | +3.1″ |
| Curb weight | 3,638 lb | 2,970 lb | 668 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 3,638 lb the Suzuki Grand Vitara is 668 lb heavier than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 16 measured model years for the Suzuki Grand Vitara between 1999 and 2014.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Suzuki Grand Vitara fits into 2 rows instead of 16. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Suzuki Grand Vitara.
