| Post subject: | 3.2 Litre V6? |
I was just reading an article about the Australian Launch of the '09 Grand Vitara. What is the story with the new 3.2 litre V6? Is it a further development of the H series engine? Is it an all new motor for Suzuki, or is it sourced from another manufacturer? No manual option with the V6 I see. What a shame, I reckon dropping a 3.2L V6 with full-time 4WD and a 5 speed into the SQ-625 would be very interesting

Answered my own question with a bit more research.... It's a GM motor 
I think I'll go out and buy a Toyota, the GV is a little too closely related to a Holden Commode for my liking now

i must have. they have been talkin about this motor for years. don't worry, gm as such didn't design it. they got thier other companies who know how to work with alluminium and multivalves to do that. |

Apart from rear main oil seals, rocker cover gaskets, valley cover gaskets, head gaskets, welsh plugs, fuel pumps, crank angle sensors, ecus, iac motors, coil packs and modules, they were great. Kept me in a job. I would probably steer clear from the Suzuki 3.2 until they've been around for a couple of years. By that time Suzuki will have hopefully ironed out any problems with it. |

Suzuki have come along way but I really do wish they wouldn't get rid of the good old lever 4WD System and manual Hubs.. They should offer a Model thats built for Recreational offroaders rather then intercity transport.. All this push button 4WD systems, Just don't feel as reliable as the good old lever.. I mean I would like to see a Momo Styled Gear knob for the Transfer system rather then a button... Good to see they still offer a low Range box.. |
