The Suzuki Grand Vitara returns to the spotlight as Prashirwin Naidu reconnects with one of the most popular family SUVs on the market, while also taking listeners inside the exciting world of the 2026 Festival of Motoring.
Join motoring journalist Prashirwin Naidu on Wheels ‘n Journeys, proudly brought to you by Vuma FM, as he gets behind the wheel of the Suzuki Grand Vitara and shares his thoughts on how the SUV has evolved since he first drove it in 2024.
In this episode, Prashirwin explores the Grand Vitara’s stylish exterior design, practical family-friendly cabin, generous safety specification, and everyday driving characteristics. With sharp styling, a spacious interior, and excellent value for money, the Grand Vitara remains a compelling option for families looking for a reliable, affordable SUV.
While the Grand Vitara’s naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine prioritises efficiency and dependability over outright performance, Prashirwin explains why its balanced approach may appeal to buyers who value long-term ownership and low running costs.
The discussion then shifts to the Festival of Motoring 2026, where Prashirwin reflects on the growing presence of Chinese manufacturers and the changing automotive landscape. He highlights several of the brands and products showcased at the event, including new SUVs from emerging manufacturers, Volkswagen’s latest T-Roc, and Suzuki’s electric Grand Vitara.
The episode wraps up with the Motoring Tip of the Week, focusing on maintaining a safe following distance to help avoid rear-end collisions, and the Hot Jam of the Week: That’s The Way Love Goes by Janet Jackson.
