The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is available with three powertrains. The 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol produces 103hp and 139Nm, while the 1.5-litre CNG makes 89hp and 121.5Nm. The 1.5-litre strong hybrid is the most powerful, with a combined output of 116hp, and pairs a 0.76kWh lithium-ion battery with an electric motor that makes 141Nm.

Key facts about the Grand Vitara:

Gearbox options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque-converter automatic on the petrol, with an e-CVT on the strong hybrid. The CNG is available only with the manual, and the AWD only with the petrol automatic.
The Grand Vitara measures 4,345mm in length, 1,795mm in width and 1,645mm in height, with a 2,600mm wheelbase.
It gets 210mm of ground clearance, a 5.4m turning radius and a 45-litre fuel tank.
The boot is 373 litres on the petrol and 255 litres on the strong hybrid, where the battery sits in the boot, and the CNG tank is also placed in the boot.
Suspension comprises MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, with disc brakes on all four wheels and 215/60 R17 tyres.
Six airbags, ESP, hill-hold assist and ABS with EBD are standard across the range, though the SUV has yet to be crash-tested by any NCAP agency.
In our first drive, the strong hybrid covered 0-100kph in roughly 12sec in Power mode.
The 9-inch touchscreen supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while higher variants get a 7-inch colour multi-information display.
Higher variants get features such as a head-up display, 360-degree camera, wireless charging and ventilated front seats.
ALLGRIP Select AWD offers Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock modes, with hill descent control on the AWD variants.

Best car for Indian roads. Mileage is better compared to other cars in this segment. The automatic transmission is one of the best in this segment, making it a complete family car.

Very good car, average in terms of power; also sufficient. Best option to consider. Maruti service is affordable, and the look is bold with features like a 360 camera and panoramic sunroof, making it stable on highway drives.

Impressive mileage for such a large car. It looks good and is more enjoyable to drive than the Creta, with short and precise gear shifts and a light clutch.

Grand Vitara's long wheelbase translates to more boot space, although it misses some features compared to Brezza. It depends on your usage and selection.

Great car for family! Accessories and safety ratings are good. I purchased this car for long-distance travel, and it performs well on hill roads with great pickup.

The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Sigma 1.5 MT is a practical choice in the mid-size SUV segment. After driving it for 32,000 km over 20 months, it has been a reliable and efficient daily driver. The 1.5-litre engine with a 5-speed manual transmission offers smooth power delivery. On highways, I get around 17 kmpl, while in city traffic, it maintains 14-15 kmpl. The ride quality is plush, absorbing bumps easily, and the high ground clearance is great for rough terrain. The cabin is spacious and well-built, though NVH levels could be improved.

New cars like the Grand Vitara are almost in the same bracket with slight differences.

Vitara is a good option for you considering its high range and comfort.

I charge my e-Vitara every 4th day at home from 20% to 80%. My daily usage is 15% of the battery.

4/5

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara also comes with a 1.5L NA Petrol engine and Torque Converter. It has all essential features and offers great resale value, though it may see a facelift soon. Mileage is excellent in both city and highway conditions, and it performs well for highway cruising.

Hi, I am keen on buying a petrol AWD. In case, the vehicle will be used for trips to mountains where there are kaccha roads with unmetalled surface and loose stones. Which would be a better choice between Victoris and Grand Vitara?

•3h

The Victoris and Grand Vitara are essentially the same vehicle with the only differentiation being their body style, and interior colour and design. The Victoris feels more modern, and its light grey and black coloured interiors look airier and more inviting than the Grand Vitara. It is also better-equipped, but that makes it around Rs 50,000 more expensive than the equivalent Grand Vitara. Overall, if you're not limited by budget, the Victoris AWD AT would be the one we'd recommend.

I have a budget of Rs 15 lakh and am planning to buy either the Maruti Suzuki Victoris VXi AT or the Grand Vitara Delta 1.5 AT mild hybrid. Both are within my budget. I’ve recently heard that the Victoris has an AC leak issue. Is that true? Which of these would you recommend? I take five to six trips a year of more than 1,500 km each, and my city driving is around 400 km a month. Please advise.

•6h

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris VXi AT and Grand Vitara Delta AT are mechanically very similar, sharing the same platform, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, six-speed torque converter automatic and several key components. Therefore, the choice should largely come down to the deal you get, the design you prefer and the dealership experience. The Victoris is the newer product and has a more contemporary cabin with better perceived quality. However, its sloping roofline does compromise rear headroom slightly, which is worth checking if you regularly travel with adults in the back. The Grand Vitara has a more conventional SUV profile.Regarding the AC concern, there have been some owner reports of cooling-related issues with the Victoris, but it is too early to suggest that this is a widespread problem. The Victoris and Grand Vitara share much of their underlying hardware, including several components of the air-conditioning system, so there is no particular reason to assume that the Grand Vitara is immune to similar issues.Our recommendation would be to pick whichever dealership offers you the better deal. If you prefer the newer styling, cabin and Arena network, go for the Victoris. If you like the more conventional design and prefer the Nexa buying experience, the Grand Vitara is equally good.

Subject: Upgrading from a 2015 i20 to a Strong Hybrid SUV/MPV (Rs. 20–30 Lakh): Prioritizing Performance & Rear Comfort Background: I currently own a 2015 Hyundai i20 Elite and am looking to upgrade to a family-oriented SUV or MPV. My budget is between Rs. 20 lakh and Rs. 30 lakh (on-road), and I am strictly looking for a strong-hybrid powertrain. Core Requirements: Rear-Seat Comfort: This is an absolute priority. I am looking for excellent legroom, supportive seating, and a plush ride quality for rear passengers on long journeys. Performance: I want a car that doesn't just deliver high fuel efficiency but also feels punchy and effortless to drive, with strong acceleration for highway overtaking. City Drivability: My father will occasionally drive the car in town and finds large vehicles difficult to maneuver. Good visibility, light steering, and parking aids like a 360-degree camera are crucial for him. Current Shortlist & Dilemma: I am considering the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara / Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder strong hybrids since they fit my budget perfectly, and their compact footprint makes them much easier for my father to drive and park. However, I am concerned that their 1.5L 3-cylinder hybrid engine lacks the outright performance I want, and their rear-seat headroom and overall cabin space feel like a compromise. Alternatively, I am highly tempted to stretch my budget to Rs. 33–35 lakh for the Toyota Innova Hycross / Maruti Suzuki Invicto (mid-variants). The 2.0L hybrid engine offers the strong performance I crave, and the MPV architecture delivers unmatched rear-seat comfort. My only fear is that their sheer size will be too intimidating for my father in city traffic. Which option should I choose?

•6d

We understand your temptation to spend big on a Toyota Innova Hycross or Maruti Suzuki Invicto. Frankly, they are significantly larger and, in many ways, superior to the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, also on your short list. What the larger outlay will get you is a significantly larger vehicle with lots more room, particularly for rear seat passengers. Ride comfort is also better than what you get on the hybrid SUVs. The Innova Hycross and Invicto also offer enough power for highway cruises with ease. As for your father's concerns, the Invicto and Innova Hycross can feel intimidating at first, given how large they are. However spend time behind the wheel and you'll notice that visibility is excellent while the light steering makes low-speed manoeuvrability surprisingly easy. There is still a learning curve involved, and it might take some time getting used to the size. There are no differences between the Innova Hycross and Invicto as products. You could consider the Invicto as an option, given the good deals going on, bringing the final price closer to your budget.

I am planning to buy a car under a budget of around Rs. 16 lakh. My annual usage involves 5 to 6 long highway trips and weekly 80 km of city rides. I have shortlisted Grand Vitara Delta AT and Brezza ZXi Plus 1.5 L AT. Which one should I go with?

•1w

We would recommend you to go with Brezza. Both of your choices have the same engine and gearbox so performance is not too different. The Grand Vitara is larger and has a slightly longer wheelbase, but it isn't a dealbreaker against Brezza which is also good in terms of space. Equipment wise, the Brezza will offer more like LED headlamps, a larger touchscreen, a 360 degree camera and more. Ride comfort and driving manners are similar on both cars and overall if the extra room isn't something you need, the Brezza makes a lot more sense in terms of value. Highway performance is also very good and while the boot on the Brezza is roughly 50-litres less, it is adequate for airport runs and getaways.

Hi Autocar India, I am planning to buy Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid around Diwali. Does Maruti have plans for any facelift or should I buy it?

•1w

If you are planning to buy the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid around Diwali, there is no need to wait for a facelift at this point. An update does not appear imminent, and even if Maruti is planning one, expect it to arrive only around mid 2027 at the earliest.The current Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid remains a good choice if fuel efficiency, particularly in city driving, is your priority. Waiting several more months for an unconfirmed facelift may not be worthwhile, especially if the current car meets your requirements.
