The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara specifications are the busiest in Maruti's lineup, because it carries three very different powertrains. The 1.5 litre mild hybrid petrol makes about 102 bhp, while the strong hybrid uses a 1.5 litre engine with an electric motor for a combined 114 bhp. The spec sheet rewards a careful read.
Gearbox choice tracks the engine. The mild hybrid offers a manual or a torque converter automatic, the strong hybrid uses an e-CVT, and the CNG runs the manual. AllGrip all wheel drive pairs only with the mild hybrid automatic, for buyers who face loose surfaces.
Fuel figures spread widely. The strong hybrid leads at 27.97 kmpl. The mild hybrid reads 21.11 kmpl as a manual and 20.58 kmpl as an automatic. The CNG returns 26.6 km/kg, and the AllGrip settles at 19.38 kmpl. That range is unusually broad for one badge.
On packaging, the 373 litre boot and long wheelbase give real family space, with room for three across the back on shorter trips. The raised body suits Indian roads well. Cabin comfort is a strong point. Ride quality stays settled at highway speeds, which suits long family trips. Noise levels drop noticeably in the strong hybrid when it runs on electric power. You can line up every Grand Vitara variant to compare kit.
Safety and feature kit climb to six airbags, ESP, hill hold, a panoramic sunroof and a 360 degree camera on the upper trims. Read the whole sheet and the Grand Vitara reads as a flexible, efficient midsize SUV with something for most buyers.
