Maruti Suzuki’s most premium SUV offering, the Maruti Grand Vitara, has quickly become a popular choice in India’s mid-size SUV segment. Developed in collaboration with Toyota, this SUV is available with both strong hybrid and mild hybrid powertrains, along with a rare All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option — something very few rivals offer in this price range.
Two Engine Options: Smart Hybrid and Strong Hybrid Tech
The Grand Vitara is offered with a 1.5L K15C mild-hybrid petrol engine and a 1.5L TNGA Atkinson-cycle strong hybrid engine (borrowed from Toyota). The strong hybrid delivers a segment-best 27.97 km/l mileage and can run on pure electric power at low speeds. The mild-hybrid variant is available with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and even an AWD (AllGrip) drivetrain for adventure lovers.
Bold SUV Styling With LED DRLs and Nexa Signature Look
On the outside, the Grand Vitara features a bold and muscular design with a wide chrome grille, tri-beam LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and a high bonnet line. It has strong road presence, sitting on 17-inch alloy wheels with dual-tone paint options and a floating roof design. Ground clearance of 210mm and body cladding gives it a rugged SUV appeal.
Panoramic Sunroof, 360° Camera and Premium Cabin Features
The top variant of the Grand Vitara comes with a panoramic sunroof a first for Maruti cars along with features like 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment, Arkamys-tuned sound system, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, cruise control, and 6 airbags. The cabin feels upmarket with soft-touch elements and premium Nexa Blue accents.
Strong Hybrid Tech With e-CVT and EV Drive Mode
The strong hybrid variants use an e-CVT automatic transmission and offer multiple drive modes including EV, Eco, Power, and Normal. In city traffic, it can run silently in EV mode for short distances, helping save fuel and offering a smooth, refined experience. Regenerative braking and engine auto start/stop also improve efficiency.
Boot Space and Interior Practicality
The mild-hybrid variant offers 373 liters of boot space, while the strong hybrid has a slightly smaller 265 liters, due to the battery pack. However, it remains practical for daily use, and the rear seats offer good legroom and recline angle, making it comfortable for long drives.
Variants and Pricing in India
Maruti Grand Vitara is available in 6 broad variants: Sigma, Delta, Zeta, Alpha, Zeta+ (Hybrid), and Alpha+ (Hybrid). Prices start at ₹10.80 lakh and go up to ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). AWD is available only in the Alpha MT variant, while strong hybrid is limited to Zeta+ and Alpha+ trims.
Conclusion: The Maruti Grand Vitara is a feature-packed, fuel-efficient, and reliable SUV that blends Maruti’s service reach with Toyota’s hybrid tech. With its panoramic sunroof, strong hybrid engine, AWD capability, and urban-rugged design, it caters perfectly to buyers seeking comfort, performance, and mileage — all in one powerful package.
