    • It is available with 3 engine options: 1.2-litre NA petrol, 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The HTK+ variant is available with all three engine options making it a good option.
    • Diesel engine is available starting from the base HTE variant
    • Different types of transmission options are available depending on the engine. The DCT gearbox is available starting with the HTX variant at Rs 12.29 lakh.
    • The interior comes with an option of 5 colour themes and offers a premium feel

    Cons

    • 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

    • No turbo-petrol or diesel engine on offer
    • No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine
    • The lower models lack features. The company only reserves most of the good features for the higher variants.

        I absolutely love my Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. It offers excellent comfort, top-notch safety, and a very smooth driving experience. The maintenance cost is low, and the car delivers great mileage while being power-efficient. It’s truly pocket-friendly and, in my opinion, the best car in its price segment. With strong road presence, good resale value, and the trusted reliability of Suzuki engines, it’s an ideal choice for anyone looking for a complete and dependable SUV.
