Is a true SUV in an adventure-ready,
travel size package. Unlike other
compact SUVs, the GV offers authentic
4-wheel drive and a robust 230-
horsepower engine (that’s 64 more
horses than a Honda CR-V
1,2
). The GV
delivers the best fuel efficiency of any
truly off-road-capable compact V6
SUV
#
, and it comes equipped with
Americas #1 Warranty.

G R A N D V I T A R A S P E C I F I C A T I O N S
Why is it America’s #1? It’s the only 100,000-mile/7-year powertrain limited
warranty around that doesn’t have a deductible and is fully transferable for the
life of the warranty. That’s huge, and that’s why the other guys don’t talk about
deductibles and transfer capability. No deductible means covered repairs are
covered—you don’t pay anything for parts and labor. Fully transferable means the
warranty can pass from one owner to the next, increasing resale and trade-in
value when it’s time to buy your next car. With coverage extended for 100,000
miles or 7 years, whichever comes first, you can average a more than reasonable
14,000 miles per year. The strength of this long-term powertrain protection is
compounded by a 36,000-mile/3-year new-vehicle limited warranty that also has
no deductible and covers everything from the dome light to the exhaust pipe
(except the battery, which is covered for 24,000 miles, and tires, which are
covered by the tire manufacturer’s warranty), and includes comprehensive
24-hour Roadside Assistance as well as a convenient Courtesy Vehicle Program.
So...that’s why we can say it’s America’s #1. Sounds good, doesn’t it!
