    The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara for its perfect blend of practicality, fun, and the reliability of Maruti's vast service network. Priced from ₹10.7 lakh, this 2025-updated SUV suits my daily commutes and weekend trips. Its strong hybrid engine (1.5L petrol + electric) gives me 18-20 kmpl, saving fuel while packing eNough punch (115 PS) for smooth highway drives. I test-drove the Zeta trim recently, and the 6-speed automatic with crisp handling made navigating busy roads a joy. The 10.25-inch touchscreen and paNoramic sunroof add a premium vibe without a crazy price tag. What sets it apart is Maruti's service support. With 4,000+ centers nationwide, low maintenance costs, which is a big win. Unlike the Jimny, which I tried but found too bouncy for daily use, the Grand Vitara's comfy ride and roomy cabin fit my family perfectly.

    YES! Its been an year since I've bought my Grand Vitara Zeta Variant. Yes the suzuki Engine is refined and very very smooth. The mileage is also very good for the size of the car and it's performance! I love the interior. It doesn't feel cheap!! The exterior look of the car is badass!🔥 I got the grey colour! Bro it's an attention magnet!! The colour is very special. It's light grey in day time and in night time or darkness it turns batman mode! It goes black 🌚! The looks are very good. The car looks HUGE from the outside! The ground clearance doesn't disappoint you at all. And features wise the car DOESN'T LACK ANY FEATURES FOR THE PRICE!. The display given in the car is awesome and it is very very useful. The speakers are VERY GOOD! rich audio. Damn good bass and ITS ADJUSTABLE!!!!. And the BEST PART! the app connectivity!! THE APP CONNECTION FEATURES ARE SOO GOOD. EVEN 50L cars don't have it!! Soooo many security features. Tracking, wallet parking mode, stolen alert mode, intrusion alert, unlocking using phone, hazard light toggle in app, EVEN CHECKING BATTERY CAPACITY AND HEALTH WITHOUT TOUCHING THE CAR!!!. time to time service updates. Driving route map! Even says where you've accelerated quickly and where you've applied harsh brakes!!!! The mileage also is updated in the cars display and the app. Overall the Suzuki Grand Vitara DOESN'T disappoint you in any way considering the price is between 15L to 21L. The car does everything!!! Highway crusing, adventure, anything!!! The suspension is damn soft and good!!! AND ALSO COMES WITH CRUISE CONTROL!!!!

    Among all the cars currently on sale in India, my favourite is the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara - particularly the Strong Hybrid variant. In a market dominated by feature-heavy but often forgettable SUVs, the Grand Vitara stands out as a smart, well-balanced package that brings practicality, innovation, and long-term value together in a compelling way. What I appreciate most is its intelligent hybrid powertrain a collaboration with Toyota which offers excellent fuel efficiency without compromising too much on drivability. For urban users like myself who navigate both city traffic and weekend highway runs, the silent EV-only mode in stop-go traffic and the seamless switch to petrol power make for a very refined and eco-friendly experience. It's a great example of how mainstream Indian cars are finally adopting sustainable technologies without pricing themselves out of reach. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) option in the mild hybrid variant is another underrated strength. While it's not a full-blown off-roader, it brings a sense of confidence and go-anywhere ability that many soft-roaders in its segment lack. For someone who enjoys road trips, it is a really best car.

Additionally, the Grand Vitara offers impressive fuel efficiency and a well-tuned suspension system that ensures a smooth and enjoyable ride.

    Grand Vitara Zeta AT (opulent red dual tone), thanks to its exceptional blend of performance, techNology, and value for money. It's a full size SUV, Budget friendly, slightly less power but linear performance, value for money, features loaded, connected car, full AT gear box and fulfilling my daughter's wish of converting bed after rear seat fold. It's a mileage machine, it's larger in size than rivals and low maintenance car. Suspensions and NVH level are best which I personally liked.

    Two major pros 1- amazing handling dynamics 2- engine is peppy and rev friendly when required, other times gives 18-19kmpl in city, 22-24kmpl on highway Cons 1- interior quality is okay okay, design is very basic 2- though cabin space is very good, even for 6+ feet person, seats do not provide adequate lumber support

    I bought the Grand Vitara Hybrid variant six months ago, and honestly, it’s been a great experience so far. The mileage is impressive I’m getting around 20-22 km/l in the city, which is a big plus. The car feels solid, and the build quality is much better than older Maruti models. It’s not the fastest SUV out there, but it’s super comfortable and practical for everyday use. The panoramic sunroof is a family favorite.
