Pros & Cons

Carens Clavis Pros & Cons	Grand Vitara Pros & Cons
Pros	Looks more mature and SUV-like compared to the Carens The interior has become more premium and offers good appeal It continues to provide the same practical and comfortable cabin experience Loaded with a plethora of features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a bigger touchscreen infotainment system, BOSE audio, and more It drives and handles well; the suspension has become plusher and more comfortable Multiple engine options are offered, with a variety of transmission choices Enhanced safety is provided with 20 ADAS Level 2 features Turbo petrol engine is now available with a 6-speed manual transmission	One of the most fuel-efficient C-Segment SUVs in its segment with 20+ kmpl claimed mileage The only SUV in the segment with a proper hybrid powertrain with EV mode Affordable AWD drivetrain with Suzuki AllGrip system offers good capabilities to the vehicle Loaded with features such as a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 360-camera, ventilated seats, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment, and more The base variant offers a decent number of features such as ESP, hill-start assist, automatic climate control, all-4 power windows, dual-functional LED DRLs, projector halogen headlamp Comes with a factory-fitted CNG It offers a good ride quality with well-tuned suspension and good driving dynamics Backed by Maruti’s vast sales and service network The Grand Vitara benefits from Toyota's expertise in hybrid powertrains, as the hybrid system is sourced directly from Toyota
Cons	The 6-seater variant is only available in the top-spec trim Although the dashboard layout has been improved, it could’ve been more premium The higher variants are limited to the turbo-petrol engine only Diesel AT is available in a single variant (no diesel AT for higher variants) ADAS is limited to a single variant only Certain features are restricted to select engine and transmission options	Due to the hybrid battery, the boot in the hybrid variants is smaller than the regular variants The use of hard plastic inside the cabin takes away the premium feel The roof liner of the panoramic roof feels so flimsy The three-cylinder hybrid engine makes a lot of noise when in petrol mode It misses on features like electric seat adjustment, rain sensing wiper, ADAS, and more The hybrid powertrain is available in two top-of-the-line variants which are a bit pricey Not as engaging as the KIA Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Skoda Kushaq in terms of driving The engine is tuned to give mileage which feels lethargic sometimes AWD is available in a single variant with manual transmission only and with a non-hybrid engine only No turbo-petrol or diesel engine on offer
