It also offers a high level of exclusivity.
In line with its sporty exteriors, Grand Vitara X-Line concept will also need a refresh on the inside. An all-black theme with contrasting neon stitching on seats will look great. Neon highlights can also be deployed on the dashboard, doors and steering wheel.
