The images of the upcoming new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara have been partially revealed ahead of its global debut on July 20. Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, has said that the Grand Vitara will come with a 'bold SUV design, sophisticated interiors, revolutionary powertrains, and segment-leading features'.
Although the upcoming Grand Vitara shares a platform with the recently unveiled Toyota Hyryder SUV, it gets a different visual identity in sync with the company's new design philosophy.
The fifth-gen Grand Vitara gets a bold stance and muscular body lines compared to its Toyota cousin. The SUV gets a new hexagonal grille with curvy edges, tri-LED DRLs, and a muscular bonnet to enhance its visual appeal. The side profile is characterised by a floating roof, blackened pillars, and a new alloy design. At the rear, the SUV gets a unique tail lamp cluster with 3 sets of horizontal LED lines on either side with connected LED tail lamp technology.
The upcoming Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will be available with two engine options: a 1.5L K15C petrol with mild hybrid technology and a 1.5L TNGA Atkinson cycle petrol with strong hybrid technology, both sourced from Toyota. The available transmissions include a 6-speed torque converter and a 5-speed manual. Suzuki's AllGrip AWD tech will also be an option for the mild hybrid vehicle.
The new Grand Vitara will come loaded with a host of new features, such as a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 360-degree camera, heads-up display, ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, and many more.
