Panoramic Sunroof

Now you get the sunroof in the Alpha+ (O) variant. One major upgrade is that the sunroofs inner shade has been significantly improved.

Enhanced Comfort And Convenience

• Dual Type-C Charging ports: Another upgrade is the two USB Type-C charging ports at the rear. This change ensures all passengers can keep their devices powered up on the go.

PM 2.5 Air Purifier: To ensure a healthier and cleaner cabin environment, Maruti has now integrated a PM 2.5 air purifier. It filters out harmful fine particles and pollutants.

8-way Adjustable Powered driver seat: The earlier Grand Vitara only offered a manually adjustable seat for the driver. But now, with the 8-way powered adjustable seat, comfort and ease of access get a serious upgrade. This allows drivers to fine-tune their seat positioning electrically, including height and lumbar support, offering better ergonomics for long drives.
