Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara overview
The Grand Vitara is Maruti's most complete car. The strong hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol with an electric motor and a small battery, letting it run on electric power alone in traffic — which is where its 27 kmpl claim comes from. The mild-hybrid version is cheaper and available with AllGrip all-wheel drive. A panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and a head-up display make the top variants feel a class above.
