SUZUKI is making changes to its model line up which will see the end of the Grand Vitara SUV.

The Grand Vitara has fallen victim to European emission regulations and will be discontinued at the end of the year.

It is one of a number of changes which the Japanese car firm will be making in the coming months.

Other models to go are the Alto city car, the Splash supermini and the SX-4 compact MPV which is currently being sold alongside the more up to date SX-4 S-Cross.

The Alto and Splash will be replaced by Suzuki's new Celerio hatch in 2015 when the company will also be introducing a new crossover-style small SUV based on the iV-4 concept car which was first seen at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show.
