Maruti Suzuki has found its sweet spot in the SUV segment with the Maruti Grand Vitara, a model that blends premium design, modern features, and incredible fuel efficiency. Sharing its platform with the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the Grand Vitara brings Maruti’s own touch to the table—and it’s starting to show in sales numbers.
Bold Design with a Premium Road Presence
The Maruti Grand Vitara makes a strong first impression with its upright stance, sharp LED DRLs, bold grille, and sculpted sides. It looks more mature and premium compared to previous Maruti offerings. Chrome accents and dual-tone paint options give it an upscale appeal, while the wide stance adds confidence on highways.
Hybrid Tech That Delivers Unmatched Mileage
The highlight of the Maruti Grand Vitara is its strong hybrid variant. Powered by a 1.5L petrol engine paired with an electric motor, this version delivers a claimed mileage of 27.97 kmpl, which is easily the best in its class. There’s also a mild-hybrid version with the familiar K15C petrol engine offering around 20.5 kmpl, ideal for those who prefer a traditional petrol feel with better fuel efficiency.
Both versions offer smooth performance, especially in city conditions, with the strong hybrid capable of driving short distances in pure EV mode. Gearbox options include a 6-speed automatic for the mild hybrid and an e-CVT for the strong hybrid.
Smart Interiors with Connected Tech
Inside, the Maruti Grand Vitara doesn’t disappoint. You get a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster in higher variants, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and soft-touch materials on the dash. The cabin feels premium, and there’s decent space in the rear for three adults.
Safety Features You Can Count On
On the safety front, Maruti has stepped up. Six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, Hill Hold Assist, and a 360-degree camera are available in the higher variants. The structure also meets updated crash safety norms, and a good GNCAP score would only boost buyer confidence further.
Price & Final Verdict
The Maruti Grand Vitara is priced between ₹10.80 lakh to ₹19 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant and powertrain. While Toyota has the Hyryder, Maruti’s wider reach, pricing strategy, and brand loyalty are clearly making an impact.
If you’re looking for an SUV that’s easy on the pocket and doesn’t compromise on looks or features, the Grand Vitara makes a strong case for itself. It’s one of the rare SUVs that combines style, fuel economy, and practicality—all in one solid package.
