In terms of historic precedence, the Maruti Grand Vitara has been making waves in India’s compact SUV category with its brawny styling, fuel-efficient hybrid technology, and feature-laden additions. The Toyota co-developed Grand Vitara reverberates the mighty presence of Maruti Suzuki in the hybrid SUV domain.
With fashionable aesthetics, cutting-edge technology, and urban comfort, the SUV has become a perfect choice for people who dwell in the city and those who occasionally like to get away.
Striking Exterior Styling for a Bold Urban Look
The Maruti Grand Vitara boasts an unusual external design, casting a harmonious juxtaposition of its rugged SUV appeal with sober sophistication. It has a delicately wide front grille accented with chrome, sleek LED DRLs, and muscular stance to daunt its presence on the road. The credibly bold lines, dual-tone color options, together with stylish alloy wheels, enhance its top-shelf appeal that gains prevalent acceptance in urban traffic and highways.
From the rear, the SUV gets connected LED tail lamps, a sculpted tailgate, and integrated roof rails that further accentuate sporty aspects. An elevated ride height and a heavily built body inspired a road presence that perfectly suits the expectations of a modern urban SUV.
Powertrain-Mild/ Strong Hybrid-Eco And On-The-Go Performance
The Grand Vitara is offered with both mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid powertrains, covering a wide segment of customers. The strong hybrid model, in collaboration with Toyota, employs an exceptionally fuel-efficient 1.5L petrol engine combined with an electric motor. This self-charging hybrid system allows for pure EV mode at low speeds, thereby greatly saving fuel during city commutes.
For drivers preferring mild hybrid that balances performance and efficiency, the Suzuki 1.5L K-series engine that offers refined performance with reasonable fuel economy and good power deliverability would be the choice.
Maruti claims fuel efficiency figures of up to 27.97 km/l for the strong hybrid model, thus making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in the segment. Additional points in its favor are a hybrid setup with low carbon emissions, something that environmentally conscious buyers will applaud.
Cutting Edge Interior Features with Premium Comfort
In fine Maruti tradition, extensive effort was made to create a high-quality, tech-savvy atmosphere inside the Grand Vitara. The SUV indulges in a layered dashboard design that’s done in soft-touch surfaces, leatherette seat upholstery, and a well-placed panoramic sunroof to create a spacious ambience. The marginally opulent dual-tone cabin theme is complemented by adjustable rear seats to make room for leg space for all passengers.
For tech and comfort, the Grand Vitara makes no compromises, offering a plethora of advanced installations including but not limited to a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, head-up display (HUD), and a digital instrument cluster. Connected car technology helps the user with features like remote access, geo-fencing, vehicle health monitoring, etc., over a mobile application.
Urban Ride Comfort and Strong Road Dynamics
The Grand Vitara is on Suzuki’s Global-C platform, which lays a solid foundation for ride comfort and stability. The suspension is tuned to soak up road imperfections for a comfortable ride on patchy city roads of comfort. The steering is light and responsive and is easy to maneuver in confined urban spaces.
It drives like an SUV, and with negligible body roll and a confident braking feel, the Grand Vitara stands its ground. On top of that, regenerative braking in the strong hybrid variant helps charge the battery and contributes to a smoother feel of deceleration.
Although a few select variants are equipped with AllGrip all-wheel-drive (AWD) technology for enhanced performance on rugged terrain, it is mainly tuned for the cityscape with a smattering of the off-road.
Pricing and Variants for Every Buyer
Maruti Suzuki has kept the Grand Vitara competitively placed in the compact SUV market. It has been made available in several variants, including pallid and strong hybrid options, manual and automatic transmissions. With prices from about ₹10.70 lakh to ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom), it offers something for every type of buyer.
