Questions you may find useful
Hi Team Autocar, I recently bought the Maruti Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid Zeta+ variant, which comes with ventilated seats. I would appreciate your guidance on the following points: Can leatherette seat covers with perforation be safely used on these ventilated seats without affecting their functionality? Are there side airbags integrated into the front seats of this variant? If using seat covers is not recommended, is there any alternative way to protect or improve the seats? My concern is mainly because the current upholstery feels slightly coarse, and the all-black synthetic material tends to get uncomfortable over time. Looking forward to your advice. Thanks, Deepak Jain
Avoid full seat covers, especially leatherette, on your Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. It will compromise both the ventilated seats and potentially the airbag function.Your front seats have side airbags integrated into the seat, so any aftermarket cover not specifically designed to tear open in a crash can interfere with deployment. That is a safety risk and best avoided. On the ventilation side, even perforated leatherite will significantly reduce airflow, making the feature far less effective. Ventilated seats work best with the original upholstery, and covering them defeats the purpose.If the fabric feel and heat are your concerns, a simpler option is to use partial solutions, such as seat base cushions or breathable fabric overlays, for daily comfort without fully covering the seat.
Hi, I am Kunal from Kolkata and am planning to buy my first car. I have recently started learning to drive. My usage will be around 45% city and 55% highway. I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. My priorities are a solid build quality (as a first-time car owner), good mileage, LED lamps, a quality music system, and low maintenance. Please advise.
From the options you've listed, we'd recommend you shortlist the Hyundai Venue and Skoda Kylaq, both of which are turbo-petrol sub-4-metre SUVs. On account of their turbo-petrol engines, these will feel a bit more effortless to drive on the highway compared to the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Grand Vitara that are powered by a 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol engine. Additionally, both cars get LED headlamps, have good audio systems (the Venue has an edge with its branded Bose speakers), and both are generously equipped with similar safety kits. The Venue's turbo-petrol will be a touch more efficient, and its maintenance costs will be a bit lower than the Kylaq's as well. Also, its cabin is comparatively more spacious too. The Kylaq, on the other hand, has an excellent ride-handling balance, which gives you tremendous confidence while driving. We'd suggest you drive both of these, and pick the one that appeals to you more.
I am planning to buy a car with a budget of 15-17 lakh. My average monthly running is 1500 km. I have short-listed the Grand Vitara Zeta mild hybrid variant. I am a car enthusiast, and I love driving. I am looking for a car with low maintenance costs and high comfort on long drives. Have I made a good choice, or can you suggest a better option? Thanks.
The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta (O) MT is a good choice that meets most of your needs. It comes in under Rs 17 lakh, and its excellent fuel economy should be good for your relatively high running of 1,500km per month. This is a Maruti car, so maintenance will be easy on the pocket too, estimated at Rs 4,000-6,000 per service, which happens at 10,000km intervals. It's reasonably comfortable too, with a well-sorted suspension.The only downside is the driving dynamics, which aren't geared to enthusiastic driving. While the chassis is well-engineered, the steering feels light and slow. Most of all, though, the 105hp petrol engine isn't particularly exciting, tuned as it is for fuel economy.For a more engaging drive, consider the Skoda Kushaq, though bear in mind you'll only get a low-spec Signature 1.0 TSI MT variant at your budget, and it won't be as good as the Maruti on running costs.
I have booked the Hyundai Creta Knight IVT Dual Tone, but I’m still unsure whether it’s the right choice or if I should have considered alternatives like the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara or the Kia Seltos. However, I’m not particularly fond of the new design elements of the latest Seltos. The factors that matter most to me are value for money, good resale value after 5-6 years, long-term reliability, and comfort for family use. My monthly driving will be less than 1,000 km. Given these priorities, is the Creta Knight IVT a good choice, or would the Grand Vitara or Seltos have been a better option?
The Hyundai Creta King is a good choice. It is a well-rounded SUV that offers a comfortable ride, a spacious cabin, and a refined petrol engine. The IVT (automatic) is smooth and responsive. Being a popular model, you can expect good resale value in the future. The Grand Vitara is also a good option, but it is not as spacious as the Creta. Hence, long distance comfort could be hampered.
I want to decide on an SUV purchase between the Honda Elevate, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and Grand Vitara. I value good features but no ADAS. Lower maintenance is also important. Please suggest in order of merit.
In terms of lowest maintenance, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will top the list. It doesn’t come with ADAS at all, so you can opt for the top Alpha+ variant with all the bells and whistles and still skip ADAS. If you choose the strong hybrid version, it delivers superb fuel efficiency in the city, while all versions have a comfortable ride and spacious cabin.Among your other picks, the Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq also don’t get ADAS and are otherwise well-equipped, particularly the newly facelifted Kushaq, though maintenance may be a bit more expensive.The Honda Elevate gets ADAS on the top ZX variant, which means you will have to opt for the VX and miss out on some other features. For your needs, the Grand Vitara is the best fit, but do test drive all these cars before making a decision.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara FAQs
Compared to the best-seller Creta, the Grand Vitara is 15mm longer, 5mm wider, 10mm taller, but has a 10mm shorter wheelbase. The Seltos is 115mm longer, 35mm wider, and 10mm shorter (in terms of height), and has a 90mm wider wheelbase. The Sierra is 5mm longer, 46mm narrower, 70mm shorter and has a smaller wheelbase by 130mm.
The Grand Vitara’s petrol engine is 12hp/6Nm less powerful than the Creta and Seltos, 3hp/6Nm less than the Sierra, 18hp/6Nm less than the Elevate (all of these come with a similar naturally aspirated petrol engine). An AWD, strong-hybrid and CNG option is only available with the other Maruti-Toyota siblings, so there is no difference in their power and torque figures.
