Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7 2.0 Tdi 16v and Bailey

N. Richardson reviewed on 11 October 2014 a Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7 2.0 Tdi 16v (109 PS/80 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2006) with a Bailey Unicorn Barcelona of 1686 kg.

I've had this car from 10000 miles now on 82000. It's a dream tow car. It has done everything I have asked of it. Tows the van easily and efficiently. Reliability is great. It's a late 06 plate model. Been Cornwall Devon Brighton and much further a field. Even France towing. Can highly recommend.

We (hubby and me) have a 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9 DDis SZ5 top of the range purchased new 2010 for £21,000 pity C&C dont rate it much better in its tow car ratings. Great price for a good 4X4 which is also great match for our Hobby 460 UFe. Have towed with this combination in the UK also france and Germany the car performed great at 60+ didnt even feel the caravans weight on back and cruise control at 60+mph was great. A brilliant towing vehicle for its size and money will be looking forward to more towing with this vehicle. Also when it is time to change car we will be looking for another Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Having towed several times I've changed my mind. I've had a couple of 'moments' with the final straw being a scare on the motorway whilst overtaking a lorry. Even though I kept plenty of room between us the caravan swayed towards the lorry causing the car to move over/cross lanes as well (tail wagging the dog!). The lorry driver avoided a collision by swerving onto the hard shoulder. I sold the Suzuki & bought a Honda CRV (08 model). What a difference. It's so much easier. I'm no longer correcting the steering even on straight roads, the whole experience is so much more relaxed. The CRV is 85% weight match & I can now see why this is recommended as a maximum. In reality the mpg was only around 12, not 18-20 as well.100% weight match may be ok with some cars but I don't think it is with a Grand Vitara.

Ok, it's 100% but my Suzuki copes well. I towed from Exeter to Penzance over Christmas, into a very strong headwind which played havoc with the mpg but it never felt unsteady. Coming home with a tail wind I barely knew the van was there.
I will be getting a bigger car this year because i'll get a bigger caravan sometime. If I wasn't i'd keep the Suzuki (it's lovely to drive). 26mpg without the van, 18-20 with it does hurt a bit though.

I pulled down to Italy and it was embarrassing, down through the gears at the sight of a hill, down to 2nd gear, dangerous with heavy freight having to speed at every opportunity to stop playing cat and mouse with the trunks, and appalling fuel consumption.

I have been towing this outfit for the last four years, and I am happy with its performance, although I do load the car up with items I would have carried in a lighter van,so that the outfit feels more balanced and used a roof top box which helps with the air flow. the car does use fair amount of fuel when towing, (car pulls better when tank is only half full). Have looked at a freelander but will stay with my Vitara.

I have towed over 2000miles in the last six months with this combination. The car pulls well and even though the caravan is 91% it was quite effortless but the fuel consumption did drop to around 24mpg when towing. My real issue is the very notchy gear box which is making it a toil of a pleasure to drive. I will be changing towcar.

Just completed the first 450 mile round tow with an 07 GV 1.9ddis and am very pleased. Good power and pulling power up hills. Also achieved 26.7 mpg which is the best of any towcar I've had. A little bit of yaw on the back when trucks go by but a little more noseweight in the van on the return seemed to counterract this well. I too have seen the cc rating of 2/5 but it does the job well for me so am not too worried about snobbery.

I have just purchased the new 2010 Bailey Ranger GT60 620/6 Twin Axle on Saturday 5.12.09 & i have the Grand Vitara 2.0 petrol to pull it & found it much much easier than i thought it would be, on the motorway got up to 55-60 in 5th gear with no problem, i had to come down to 4th & 3rd on a couple of steep hills, slight change to driving took care of that. Over all impressed with both my Grand Vitara & new caravan.

Excellent, cannot even feel the weight of the Ranger on the back. Very pleased. GV is a bit 'truck like' alone, but comes into its own when towing.
Good combination would recommend to anyone, even though Caravan club do not really rate it as a tow car (2/5). I'd say excellent value for money & does the job. Why pay £40,000 when you can pay £17,000???

I have driven this combination for nearly two years now. The petrol consumption is not as bad as I first thought with a little careful driving. More power on slopes would be good. The spare wheel on the back is handy if you get a puncture. I would buy a full size one, as space savers are not to be used for towing. Many new 4x4 are putting the spare in the back. This makes it hard to remove when a full load is in the vehicle. Where would you store the punctured wheel as it will not fit in the area vacated by the spare. This is not a problem on the Suzuki. Very impressed.

Towing in France and the UK for more than 1.5 years has been a pleasure with this combo. It lacks a little power on motorway slopes but apart from that it is perfect. The spare being on the back is great when you get a puncture. No need to take all the kit out to get to it. One odd thing is the spare is not a full size one, but one will fit in the compartment. The Honda CRV amongst others have a space saver spare which cannot be used for towing. It is also not possible to fit a full size spare in the space provided.

I've towed using my V6 Grand Vitara for more than 3 years, it's pulled three different van each one heavier than the last. It does struggle a little on hills and uses fuel when towing but I have to say that it pulls like a dream. Cross winds can effect the driving both with and without the van.

I have towed with my Grand Vitara V6 for just over a year and have found it to be very good, plenty of power for hills & motorway inclines but is very thirsty for fuel. selectable 4 wheel drive is usefull for wet grass etc. The only minor problem that i have encountered is the outfit can be affected by HGV's & strong crosswinds but provided you load up the caravan correctly it is not too much of a problem.

Having this unit for 3 years now I find no problems that cannot be overcome easily with a slight adjustment to driving technique. On moderate to steep hills I feel this car can do with a little more punch maybe about 0.2 Ltrs.
I,ve towed this c/van on various roads from M/way to farm tracks including the B6277 which is very up & down & very twisty in places(scenery beautiful) with no problem
I've not ye had to resort to 4WD while towing although I,ve been in quite a few fields but none of them were really wet. Asfor myself apart from the slight power disadvantage(overcomeable) I really like this tow vehicle.
I realise that we all have our own opinions,likes & dislikes, these are mine & I hope its of some help.

Rob reviewed on 19 February 2007 a Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9 DDiS (129 PS/95 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2015) with a Ace Jubilee Courier of 1500 kg.

the figures were our actual weights (weigh bridge minus our weight) when both can and van laden. Never had a problem and tows really well. On steep inclines and hill starts use the lower gears more than I would like, but can accellerate comfortably at any speed.
