Maruti Suzuki has finally pulled the covers off its much-anticipated SUV, the Grand Vitara, and it’s already making waves. With a bold design, plush interiors, and a claimed mileage of 27 kmpl, this SUV aims to shake up the mid-size segment in India.
Hybrid Power Meets Efficiency
At the heart of the Grand Vitara is a 1.5-litre strong hybrid engine that uses a combination of petrol and electric power to deliver remarkable fuel economy. Maruti claims a mileage of up to 27.97 kmpl, making it one of the most efficient SUVs in its class. The SUV is also available with mild-hybrid technology and offers an optional All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system a rare feature in this segment.
This powertrain isn’t just about saving fuel; it also ensures smooth, responsive performance in city traffic and on the highway. The e-CVT transmission in the strong hybrid version further enhances the driving experience with seamless gear shifts.
Luxury Redefined Inside
Step inside, and the Grand Vitara feels like a major leap forward for Maruti Suzuki. The interiors are tastefully done with soft-touch materials, a modern dashboard layout, and a panoramic sunroof that brings in plenty of natural light. The seats are plush and well-cushioned, with ventilation available in the front row, adding to overall comfort during long drives or hot summers.
The cabin also houses a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and a head-up display features usually reserved for premium SUVs.
Tech & Safety You Can Count On
When it comes to safety, the Grand Vitara doesn’t hold back. It offers six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold assist, and a 360-degree camera system. The top-spec variants even include ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), helping drivers with lane assist, emergency braking, and more a first for Maruti.
Pricing & Market Position
Priced between ₹10.70 lakh and ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Grand Vitara is positioned to take on rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, and MG Hector. However, what sets it apart is its strong hybrid system, exceptional mileage, and Maruti’s trusted after-sales network.

The Grand Vitara marks a bold new chapter for Maruti Suzuki in the SUV space. It’s a car that blends style, substance, and sustainability offering buyers a mix of premium comfort, smart tech, and fuel efficiency that’s hard to beat.
