Suzuki Grand Vitara gets a rear lift in Canada
And by minor changes we mean, Suzuki has replaced the full-sized spare tire for a temporary donut spare and placed it underneath the floor of the cargo area. That’s it!
What is a donut spare?
Donut spare is essentially a lightweight and small spare tyre whose sole purpose is to get you to the nearest workshop in case of a tyre puncture. They have almost no tread; the body of the tire is not reinforced and there is no tread belt to protect it from projectiles and road imperfections. It is just a cost cutting measure to save on the full cost of a spare wheel.
