We traded my wife's Murano for the GV, she wanted something smaller. We spent 3 months researching every small SUV on the market. Test drive and features sold us. This is a great suv and a great value. Handeling is marvelous, and the ride is solid. Could use a tad more power. Smart key took some getting used to, but love it now. Everything about this little truck rocks. I want to drive it, and leave my Lincoln in the garage!

I am glad we decided to buy this suv. The vehicle is very solid and fun to drive. The mileage in the city is around 21 mpg with the four cylinder that should improve with time. Seems to be a great value for the money. Take one for a test drive before you count this vehicle out.

Great Mid Size SUV

I purchased the GV for my wife due to the ever rising gas prices and let me be the first to say "We are impressed!" . I never thought I would ever own a Suzuki, but this mid sized SUV has it all. Now if you are looking for V8 power, buy a V8 but the 2.7L V6 has enough power to get ya' down the road. The GV is loaded with extras that most others charge for! We are getting 17/19mpg in the city and we have not taken a road trip yet. I'll report on that later. Can't complain about the handeling or size I am 6' and I have no trouble getting in or outof the GV. Heck, Just go test drive one and see for yourself. The car sold itself!

I've had this car for a little over a year now (bought in late 2018 with 101,000 miles on it) and I loved it as soon as I sat in it! I had an older Suzuki sedan before I got this car and I loved that one too. This little SUV is big enough that I can see more while driving (I'm small at 5'), haul some stuff in it or with it, and still be super comfortable and spacious. I get pretty decent gas mileage for what it is and it handles really well. This vehicle is full of surprises and is hopefully going to last me a long time! Love it!

We have this truck about 4 months and it is pretty nice. We have the Luxury model with all the bells and whistles.
