The General Motors/Suzuki Rosario plant in Argentina has started building the Suzuki Grand Vitara/Chevrolet Tracker SUV with a new 110bhp Peugeot HDI turbodiesel two litre engine in place of the original 87bhp Mazda unit.

The Argentine SUV is sold both locally and in Brazil. In Argentina it’s offered only as the Chevrolet Grand Vitara but, in Brazil, the Grand Vitara name is used by Suzuki and the Chevrolet version, as in the USA and Canada, is called Tracker.
