Maruti Grand Vitara
The Maruti Grand Vitara is a compact SUV that Maruti Suzuki co-developed with Toyota. Alongside its standard petrol engine, the Grand Vitara, like its Toyota counterpart, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, offers the segment’s first self-charging strong-hybrid petrol engine, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in India. Similar to the Hyryder, the Grand Vitara also provides the option of all-wheel drive, catering to diverse driving preferences.
Intrior
After decades of budget cars, we have started to expect a plasticy quality of interior from Maruti cars. However, they have managed to change that around completely with the Grand Vitara. The dashboard, door pads and the steering wheel feature soft touch leatherette which feel premium to touch. Dial in the contrast stitching, quilted leatherette seats and the champagne gold accents and the cars feel quite upmarket. However, the best part about this interior has to be the build quality. Everything feels solid and well put together and overall, this is certainly the best ever in a Maruti.
Moving on to the features, and there is good news here as well. And not just the amount of features, but the quality and usability is great as well. You get a 9-inch infotainment system which is lag free to use and gets a good display. It features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 6-speaker sound system and a lot of vehicle information with good animations.
