Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

Maruti Suzuki has officially confirmed the name of its upcoming new SUV, the Grand Vitara ahead of its global unveiling slated for 20 July, 2022. The carmaker has also opened bookings for the Grand Vitara at the Nexa official website and Nexa dealerships across India. 

Visually, the new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will most likely be similar to the recently revealed Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. For instance, it is expected to get a large front grille lower in the bumper, LED projector headlamps below the horizontal daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and body cladding. 

The Grand Vitara will get new nine-inch touchscreen infotainment with the SmartPlay Pro Plus system, like the Baleno and Brezza. Further, it is likely to get similar in-cabin features as the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, namely a wireless charging pad, cooled front seats, connected car features, USB Type-C ports, a digital instrument cluster, and six airbags. 

Maruti Suzuki’s Grand Vitara will benefit from Toyota’s strong-hybrid powertrain and the smart hybrid petrol engine used in the XL6 and Brezza. Most likely it will be the 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated strong-hybrid petrol engine and the 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol motor with smart hybrid technology. The former comes mated to an e-drive automatic transmission, while the latter is paired with either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the Grand Vitara could feature an all-wheel-drive system too.
