The 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara is roomy and comfortable. Suzuki claims it has class-leading interior space and we believe it as there is a decent amount of space inside for passengers and cargo. Our first impressions of the Grand Vitara's interior were positive as the quality of materials was better than expected.The dashboard has character with a large center stack containing well-integrated sound system controls that are just to the right of the steering wheel. The large buttons for controlling the all-wheel-drive system and climate controls also fall easily to hand and the labeling is comprehensible. The instruments are located in three large deep pods in front of the steering wheel. All models include redundant audio controls as well as cruise control buttons on the steering wheel; learning to use them can reduce distraction while driving.
Rear-seat passengers will find plenty of legroom and a decent amount of headroom, although slightly less than in some competitors. The rear seat splits 60/40 for carrying different load combinations. The rear cargo floor is lower than in many SUVs so there is a reasonable amount of storage space even when the rear seat is in use, but the distance from the rear seat back to the tailgate is relatively shallow.
