Maruti Suzuki’s Grand Vitara has hit a major milestone—3 lakh unit sales in just 32 months—making it the fastest-selling mid-size SUV in India. Neither the Hyundai Creta nor the Mahindra Scorpio has achieved this pace in the segment.
What Sets the Grand Vitara Apart?
This sharp rise in sales comes from the SUV’s ability to blend fuel efficiency, features, and Maruti’s wide network. It’s available with two engine options:
- A 1.5L non-hybrid petrol
- A 1.5L strong hybrid system (claimed range up to 27.97 kmpl)
Buyers also can choose between a number of transmissions, including manual, automatic and e-CVT. Notably, it’s the only SUV in its class (besides the Toyota Hyryder) to offer an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) option.
Key Feature Highlights
- Panoramic sunroof
- 360-degree camera
- 6 airbags with ISOFIX
- Head-up display and ventilated seats
- 9-inch infotainment with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
These features appeal to the tech-savvy Indian buyer looking for a practical yet premium SUV experience.
