The five-seater has already received over 53,000 reservations. The Grand Vitara has a waiting period of up to five and a half months depending on the variant. As previously reported, strong hybrid trims are in high demand for the SUV, accounting for 43% of total bookings, while the 4WD configuration has seen fewer takers so far, but the brand anticipates an increase in demand for it as well.
The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder K15C petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology, which generates around 103.6 PS at 6,000 rpm and 136.8 Nm at 4,400 rpm. It is paired with a five-speed manual transmission as standard and a six-speed torque converter automatic unit is offered as an option.
