A pair of Maruti Gypsy vehicles in Gozo, Malta.
The Maruti Gypsy is a four wheel drive SUV based on the Suzuki Jimny SJ series long wheel base jeep.
Produced in India, it is also a common sight in Chile and Kenya. Within Europe, it is most often found in Malta and Hungary. In contrast to the Suzuki, the Maruti is available with 4 seats and a sizeable trunk. The Maruti Gypsy is available as a "soft top", "hard top " and as an "ambulance car". In India, it is widely used by the police and defense forces. In fact, the MG-413 model is now the mainstay of the Indian Army. In civilian use, the Gypsy is a popular choice as a low-cost SUV and is a common sight at rally events.
The Maruti Gypsy is a bare-bones, utilitarian SUV. It features almost no creature comforts, like power-windows and power-assisted steering. As quoted by Autocar India, "There is nothing that can touch a Gypsy off the road, except perhaps an Arjun battle tank.The trouble is that everything else does better on the road - the ride from the archaic leaf springs all round is horribly bumpy and the interiors are utilitarian as well. And available with only two doors, its inconvenient too." The price of a new Maruti Gypsy, if purchased in India, is US $12,500 (5,00,000 INR in 2008). As a 4x4 at this price point, its only Indian competitors are sold by Mahindra and Force Motors. The petrol engine in the Gypsy is also much more refined than the diesel mills used in the cars from the two aforementioned companies. As a result, the Gypsy is developing into a very popular vehicle in its category. However, as of date, the Gypsy is available on order only against a 100% advance payment with a waiting period of over 3 months. This has led to the creation of a strong market for used Maruti Gypsys.

Suzuki Vitara
The first-generation Grand Vitara was a slightly larger, pricier and more powerful version of the Suzuki Vitara 4-door.
It was facelifted in 2002 and again in 2004. A rebadged version was sold in North America by General Motors as the Chevrolet Tracker. The Tracker is sold in Latin America, but Mexico, as Chevrolet Grand Vitara. In Mexico, Grand Vitara and Tracker are different vehicles, sold by Suzuki and Chevrolet respectively. In Chile, 5-door Grand Vitara is known as Grand Nomade.
2002-2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara (North America)
As of 2003, the smaller Suzuki Vitara has been withdrawn from the North American market. Sales were slow, with just 4,860 sold in 2004 for the United States. In Canada,
sales were strong. All North American Vitaras were built at CAMI Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario, while the North American Grand Vitaras were built in Japan, where it is the Suzuki Escudo. The 2006 model has had a structural redesign with a new ladder-boxed chassis integrated into a unibody construction. In India, it is sold by Suzuki's Indian subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki.
The 2001 model Suzuki Grand Vitara comes standard as a 2.0 Liter 4WD vehicle in New Zealand. The 2005 and onwards Grand Vitara is sold in Ecuador by Chevrolet, yet it still retains its Suzuki badges.
The vehicle is also mass produced in Iran by Iran Khodro Manufacturing Co. [1]
Maruti Suzuki Swift, the car of the year, was launched in May 2005. It is a new kind of compact car with a fresh approach to design and development. The Swift is more eye-catching, more spacious, more refined and more user-friendly. It is a whole lot of enjoyable to drive than anything else in the compact-car category.
