On-Road Score

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.

Comfortable cabin crafted with high-quality materials. The seats provide excellent comfort, and the sound insulation ensures a pleasant driving experience. In terms of safety, it is equipped with front and side airbags for enhanced protection. The air conditioning system delivers exceptional cooling performance, adding to the overall comfort. Additionally, the Grand Vitara offers impressive fuel efficiency and a well-tuned suspension system that ensures a smooth and enjoyable ride.

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.

The greatest benefit is fuel efficiency... the incredibly cozy vehicle for sedated drivers...dual tone cabin is stylish... handles bad roads with poise...the dashboard and steering are marvelous.

Grand Vitara is an impressive compact SUV that perfectly blends style, efficiency & advanced features, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to own a premium yet practical vehicle. That is why I own the car. I have written a genuine review throughout my experience with the car
