People talk about sportiness and lack of power. But honestly speaking most people buying cars in these segments doesn't want any of that. What matters most is ride quality, ease to drive, fuel efficiency, reliability, dependability, hassle free ownership and steady highway cruising at 100+ KPH. Which the HyRyder and Grand Vitara have. IMO Maruti and Toyota might be late, but they've come with a winning formula.
Nikhil Bhatia is by far the best presenter across any auto channel. His presentation technique, clarity of thought, voice modulation et al is absolutely spot on. There’s a lot that your other presenters can learn from him.
Dang.. I was never this early for any of your videos. In a country where most people buy SUVs with 4WD/AWD to drive to grocery stores, Maruti Suzuki & Toyota have nailed it.
I’ve got the Scross Mild Hybrid and I can assure this platform is superb for our road conditions. Majority of us won’t be always on the boil to have a sporty experience and will prefer the comfort added with relaxed driving, the Grand Vitara is for sure a bang for your buck.
A star is born. 🌟 Unbelievable. The Grand Vitara handled everything thrown at it during the off-road test. The AWD plus the Suzuki badge is going to just rule the segment! Feature loaded, lovely exteriors and fuel efficient! Destined to be a segment changer. The Vitara is even better inside. Great job MSIL. Almost the perfect product plus all possible features with excellent mileage!
I like this car. Sure it's low on power but a SUV with a famed AWD tech and Japanese reliability with diesel like fuel efficiency... Get some all terrain tyres, you got yourself a competent cross country cruiser
IDK but why is Ventilated Seats, Automatic Transmission and Fully Digital Instrument cluster limited to strong hybrid only meanwhile Hill descent control and paddle shifters only to All grip and Mild hybrid versions respectively only. Very weird
Oldest trick in the book. Differentiate your line-up such that customers are forced to move up the price ladder. Making the cheaper versions look worse so that they get more profit from the expensive ones.
@@abymathew295 and they will unveil it in 2023, launch in 2024 and delivery in 2026. They really need to work on their production bro and less on fake marketing and hype.
This time Maruti has hit all the boxes in my book. Maruti has proven it can make strong cars with excellent engines and also the collaboration with Toyota has paid off. I still feel the steering should be able to provide excellent feedback, which I think Maruti can work on in the future.
Generally i don't like Maruti Suzuki cars but i have to admit that this Grand Vitara is definitely impressive. If they bring out this car in AWD with a good diesel version then it's going to be a surefire hit. It could become as popular and iconic as the Maruti 800 was when it first came out. Maruti Suzuki has hit this one out of the park for sure
Have been driving a RAV4 strong hybrid in USA for so long. Welcome engine option in India. I think as per Indian driving conditions, this is going to be really good and 28 kpl seems reasonable. Good work Maruti and Toyota!
They know what the market wants. They havent skipped on utility features as well. Ventilated seats are the most helpful feature in the Indian climate. Even higher segment skips on that. Hybrid can easily deliver 20-27kmpl mileage. Finally a suzuki product that ticks all the boxes. They could have given 1.4boosterjet as well. This will be the highest selling midsize suv for sure.reliability of suzuki/ toyota is well proven, no doubt on that aspect as well.
What is missing from the video is the expected life of the battery pack and expected replacement cost for batteries. I also hope that a few years down the line these battery packs are available and not made outdated. Another point that needs to be clarified is will the car run 'normally' if battery pack is dead.
I am really impressed. This is a complete package family car. 1. Mild or strong hybrid will give awesome milega. 2. Since most of the time we will be riding in town/city, so no issue with performance. 3. Highway performance is good for 80-100kmph. I mean for a family car, that's good. 4. It is AWD, has offroad capabilities, so it will be useful in case of bad roads or say after heavy rain. All in all, it seems to me a great value for money car.
Strangely the video doesn't talk about how much water the AWD variant can wade through. This is an important point because it's a hybrid and most of its electricals will be in the floor and we know how our cities are in the monsoon.
Suzuki should've given a 1.8L or 2.0L Naturally Aspirated engine in big cars like Grand Vitara and XL6. The prices would've increased, but then those cars would be much more capable.
Engine size doesn't always correlate to capability of cars. The hybrid system in these cars is working as a de-facto turbo that means the power and torque is available on demand and weight-to-power ratio is maintained (mostly) without having the need for a higher capacity engine. This car is smart, and it looks that they have further sweetened the deal with AWD (although 99% of people may never even require one they into hardcore off roading). Unless someone is into drag racing on Indian roads, this SUV makes the most sense out of all available options.
Nay, naturally aspirated with bigger engine wouldn't make any sense, people buy these cars for economy, that would simply mean power which Indians don't want much. The engine option here looks decent.
Autocar's auto reviews are simply incredible and authentic. Their expertise shines through every detail, setting them apart from self-proclaimed "RUclipsrs." Their commitment to excellence and genuine insights make them the unbeatable standard in automotive journalism. Keep up the outstanding work, Autocar!
For folks comparing this with the xuv or the scorpio. ..The target audience for maruti and mahindra are different. Mahindra is for the ones who want an exciting engine and drive and a bigger car . But with high maintenence and low mileage. Maruti is primarily targeted at the urban dweller looking excellent efficiency, comparitively cheap and reliable service network. Unexciting drive and the comparatively week power. But it is nice to see indian companies catering to different audiences
3rd Comment Edit: We can't say nothing for now because Indian customers think that a Maruti Suzuki is a people's car. The common man might be shocked to see the price of this car because they haven't seen such figures before. We've seen the S Cross which failed because of it's high price (if I'm not mistaken, 12 lakhs INR). We can't say nothing for now because the updated Brezza is doing good, so this might be performing well.
S Cross was failed not because of high price but it was not as promising as those feature loaded Korean twin. S cross was not a looker also. With Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki have a winner.
After Brezza and S Cross, Grand Vitara is yet another best product from Maruti Suzuki...but what is left to be done is getting it crash tested by Global NCAP....hope it will get better score than the tincan so called best-selling Creta and Seltos
Really looking forward to the next video for the manual versions. Also, would love a comparative video of Grand Vitara vs Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder....really need this one.
Very helpful, please share your thoughts regarding the sunroof, as the curtain is too much thin does it heat inside the cabin or does the sunlight make irritation? Plz reply. Thanks.
MG Astor is best in this segment. I had lot of expectations with this car but the way they have distributed the features to diff diff models, its just not worth it.
I faced a critical issue in GV. I went for a drive from Bhubaneswar to Tirupati which is around 1300 KMs and in Tirupati my fuel pump stopped functioning. As usual Tirupati Nexa do not have spare part and they kept my car for 6 days in the workshop. I requested Maruti to provide me the details that why in new car fuel pump malfunctions but they didn’t responded till now. The issue I faced in just 3000 kms ruuning
For big petrol engines for big SUVs, only option is Hybrid system, otherwise the mileage will be so low, people won't buy it. However in my opinion, best fuel for heavy SUVs is diesel. Gives good mileage and good power.
I was very interested in this car , I was thinking to buy it exchange it from creta 2018 Diesel but after listening to the news that nitin gadkari's strict rules on petrol after 5 years ☹️
Very good to finally see Maruti getting adventurous with the New Grand Vitara . I am tempted to buy the automatic all wheel drive strong hybrid as my daily drive car. Thank you for the awesome video. .
I need to buy SUV(1.5 L naturally aspirated preferred). Budget is around 15L with a buffer of 1-2 lakhs. Running is less about 200-300 km per month. I need good SUV for long drives including Hills. I can wait for few months before making my decision. I am not a very enthusiastic driver but need enough power for overtaking and enough Torque for hills. We are a family of 4 and looking for at least 5 seater with good leg room at the rear as we all are tall. I am not thinking much about Turbo.
Requirement are below: Safety (possibly 5 star) , 4 wheels disk break and all the airbags Automatic Gear Box Good Ground Clearance Mileage (we can consider Hybrid as well) Resale Value and Good service
I thought a lot about New Brezza, Kushaq, S-Cross(new facelift). If facelift of XUV300 comes with Automatic gear box(Not AMT) then I can think about it. Now a days I am also thinking about New Grand Vitara(strong and mild both) but not sure about the safety/strength of this SUV. Please recommend other options as well. XUV400 as well
Great review. Looking forward to the manual mild hybrid. And please give your proper opinion on steering feedback. Most of the Suzuki’s offerings have lifeless EPS.
The mild hybrid which will attract most of the buyers is still almost same as outgoing scross.. The engine is same, I guess the hybrid behavior will also be same which is just for namesake in scross and the manual is still 5 speed, which leave you wanting for more on highways.. Though stability is very good in scross and mileage is also good.. The major uplift is only in the strong highbrid which mat come around 17-20L..
Happy to see that the 3rd model to be sold under this name to turning out be a success for Suzuki badge in INDIA!! and surely this car is my go to for future purchase!!!😃
With the Hill Hold system after brake on the steep slope shouldn't you be climbing up but all you reviewers are slipping down, what's the use of this system then? Is the car under power to climb the slope after breaking in the middle?
dont get too excited... hold your horses... an old VW or Ford or Fiat would do better offroading i would think... these new so called SUVs are all about touch screens and show off... :)
The strong Hybrid version will be any day better than buying the creta and though the toyota and maruti are same cars the vitara looks a little bit more appealing .
It's sad Toyota is not providing M20A engine not even optional considering the fact that it's in use in Corolla since 2019 and now it's being manufactured in India.....
My budget 13-15 lac, automatic, mileage 18-20 kmpl, North East India hills (Mizoram), off road conditions, comfortable ride. 1000 km/month plus once a month long drive of 600km, SUV or compact SUV, driving speed 40-60 kmph.. please suggest suitable car and model
This SUV is best for city commute. If you drive to office daily in average city traffic conditions then your commute would be almost free due to EV mode/battery.Most of the time, the car would use battery power instead of engine powe due to slow speed and traffic. #Innovation #Maruti
Best interior in the segment , car looks very distinctive & eye catching from outside too. It's gonna kill it's competitors especially overrated Creta and Seltos.
Can you tell Suzuki India for the new car facelift in the future.. If they can be upgraded to 7 seater, then the spare tire must be placed under the car, not inside the car because it is very easy to take directly from the bottom rather than inside the car. many people are looking for an SUV that has 7 seats, not 5 seats. and finally the most favorite is the moonroof (which already exists today)
In terms of engine, performance,handling & quality.. Honda City Hybrid is way better than this. So it’s good to wait for Honda Suv with same tech which will be coming in March🤞
Between the Scropio N and Grand Vitara which do you think is a better AWD variant as i am looking to buy one soon and want an AWD so that I can go places like Spiti and Umlingla

Dang.. I was never this early for any of your videos.
In a country where most people buy SUVs with 4WD/AWD to drive to grocery stores, Maruti Suzuki & Toyota have nailed it.
Maruti should bring more premium looking steering. All cars have similar steering nowadays
From swift to Ertiga to Vitara all are same.
And a more premium infotainment as well. The screen looks dated compared to the others in the range.
I’ve got the Scross Mild Hybrid and I can assure this platform is superb for our road conditions. Majority of us won’t be always on the boil to have a sporty experience and will prefer the comfort added with relaxed driving, the Grand Vitara is for sure a bang for your buck.
But they are still going with 5 speed manual, which is a downside on cruise..
Yes, agreed. This make the engine stay at higher RPM while cruising and you can feel the engine noise.
@@someshrane6101 mild hybrid just dont produce enough noise at first place.
Maruti should seriously bring back the 1.5 ddis engine... It can absolutely smoke Hyundai/Kia's CRDI Engines without a doubt...
This is the one thing that went and will never come back.
Diesels must be in a suv but diesels have no future now. Future is electric
But that was a fiat engine Maruti can never build a quality diesel engine on its own
Emission issues
@@rishabhsoni1657 lol
1.5 DDIS 225 was Suzuki's own engine..
Only Ciaz and ertiga got that engine for 2 yrs until bs6 kicked in
Grand Vitara Interiors is better than Toyota Fortuner 😂😂😂
A star is born. 🌟
Unbelievable. The Grand Vitara handled everything thrown at it during the off-road test. The AWD plus the Suzuki badge is going to just rule the segment! Feature loaded, lovely exteriors and fuel efficient! Destined to be a segment changer.
The Vitara is even better inside. Great job MSIL. Almost the perfect product plus all possible features with excellent mileage!
Man this is going to be my second car for sure!
The only downside is that the top variant doesn't get Paddle shifters and automatic transmission :(
The hybrid is theoretically an "automatic" with just 2 pedals. Yeah but it doesn't have the paddles
What do you mean by top Variant doesn't get automatic transmission?The top Variant is automatic transmission..
I like this car. Sure it's low on power but a SUV with a famed AWD tech and Japanese reliability with diesel like fuel efficiency... Get some all terrain tyres, you got yourself a competent cross country cruiser
Maruti is my all time favourite brand..and proud to be a Vitara Brezza Diesel Owner 🔥🔥
Tata is way better than your crappy suzuki
@@c.bulakh6231 way better with generation old shit engine and ride quality!
IDK but why is Ventilated Seats, Automatic Transmission and Fully Digital Instrument cluster limited to strong hybrid only meanwhile Hill descent control and paddle shifters only to All grip and Mild hybrid versions respectively only. Very weird

Oldest trick in the book. Differentiate your line-up such that customers are forced to move up the price ladder. Making the cheaper versions look worse so that they get more profit from the expensive ones.
If these are added, the top end will be expensive by another 2-3 lakh. A car in 22-24 lakh price bracket makes it a different category.
50000 for ventilating seat and moon roof I think it's worth it
If u give all features in lower variants who will purchase topend models...
People who admire THAR but doesn’t buy it due to it being 3 door, will go for Grand Vitara. Or the Gymni once it is launched.
5 door Thar is on the test.
@@abymathew295 and they will unveil it in 2023, launch in 2024 and delivery in 2026. They really need to work on their production bro and less on fake marketing and hype.
@@abhijitnaik100 why would the delivery be in 2026?
Do you think they are delivering an aircraft?
I just love how manufacturers are now giving us AWD options in these segments.
This time Maruti has hit all the boxes in my book. Maruti has proven it can make strong cars with excellent engines and also the collaboration with Toyota has paid off. I still feel the steering should be able to provide excellent feedback, which I think Maruti can work on in the future.
Truly a commendable product from Maruthi this has been long due but finally seems like they have done justice for the time they took.
Generally i don't like Maruti Suzuki cars but i have to admit that this Grand Vitara is definitely impressive. If they bring out this car in AWD with a good diesel version then it's going to be a surefire hit. It could become as popular and iconic as the Maruti 800 was when it first came out. Maruti Suzuki has hit this one out of the park for sure
Have been driving a RAV4 strong hybrid in USA for so long. Welcome engine option in India. I think as per Indian driving conditions, this is going to be really good and 28 kpl seems reasonable. Good work Maruti and Toyota!
The Grand Vitara is more SUVish compared to other vehicles at same price. Looks more premium for price.
All wheel drive is a big win for me 😁
What a looker...😍
I wish it had a 140 BHP Turbo Diesel mill in it...🥺🥺🥺🥺
If only...
Yeah same here....expecting the 1.4 turbo petrol that they use in Europe for their s-cross. 😪
They may bring later
They know what the market wants. They havent skipped on utility features as well. Ventilated seats are the most helpful feature in the Indian climate. Even higher segment skips on that. Hybrid can easily deliver 20-27kmpl mileage. Finally a suzuki product that ticks all the boxes. They could have given 1.4boosterjet as well. This will be the highest selling midsize suv for sure.reliability of suzuki/ toyota is well proven, no doubt on that aspect as well.
What is missing from the video is the expected life of the battery pack and expected replacement cost for batteries. I also hope that a few years down the line these battery packs are available and not made outdated.
Another point that needs to be clarified is will the car run 'normally' if battery pack is dead.
No cost involved in battery replacement, they're offering lifetime warranty on the battery. The car will run normally if the battery is dead.
lifetime battey
I am really impressed. This is a complete package family car.
1. Mild or strong hybrid will give awesome milega.
2. Since most of the time we will be riding in town/city, so no issue with performance.
3. Highway performance is good for 80-100kmph. I mean for a family car, that's good.
4. It is AWD, has offroad capabilities, so it will be useful in case of bad roads or say after heavy rain.
All in all, it seems to me a great value for money car.
Thar Killer. First time a product from Maruti Suzuki after Gypsy.
Strangely the video doesn't talk about how much water the AWD variant can wade through. This is an important point because it's a hybrid and most of its electricals will be in the floor and we know how our cities are in the monsoon.

the oldest maruti and newest maruti in same frame
Maruti suzuki has done a fab job. But the feature distribution on strong hybrid and the 1.5 mannual is little bit wierd. But this car is just awesome.
Suzuki should've given a 1.8L or 2.0L Naturally Aspirated engine in big cars like Grand Vitara and XL6. The prices would've increased, but then those cars would be much more capable.
Engine size doesn't always correlate to capability of cars.

Nay, naturally aspirated with bigger engine wouldn't make any sense, people buy these cars for economy, that would simply mean power which Indians don't want much. The engine option here looks decent.
It’s a pure comfort car , not for power output
I don't have money but I love to watch review videos of car 🚗
Hope to see a full comparison of all the cars in this segment
While we get the Grand Vitara and Hyryder together, do watch the others in action - ruclips.net/video/xoFGr2fLfj8/видео.html

Says the tincan fanboy himself 👏🏼🤣
@@OmFreeRadical you would be the fanboy of tincan but not me.....
The 1.6 diesel that was in the first gen S - Cross would have been cherry on the top for the grand Vitara. Really missing the diesels!
Really looking forward to the next video for the manual versions. Also, would love a comparative video of Grand Vitara vs Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder....really need this one.
Very helpful, please share your thoughts regarding the sunroof, as the curtain is too much thin does it heat inside the cabin or does the sunlight make irritation? Plz reply. Thanks.
Such a great showing from Suzuki/Toyota.
MG Astor is best in this segment. I had lot of expectations with this car but the way they have distributed the features to diff diff models, its just not worth it.
You guys did a good one from 5:03 to 5:07 listen carefully.
Tell me you heard that
I like Grand Vitara's exterior styling more than Hyryder's exterior styling
Did you see vitara's front correctly 😂
Yeah, personal taste.
great Job Autocar India. This is the most thorough test of the Grand Vitara I have seen. 🤩
Maruti has upped it game with Grand Vitara, looks stunning
As always, presentation is top notch.. keep it up autocar
I faced a critical issue in GV. I went for a drive from Bhubaneswar to Tirupati which is around 1300 KMs and in Tirupati my fuel pump stopped functioning. As usual Tirupati Nexa do not have spare part and they kept my car for 6 days in the workshop.

For big petrol engines for big SUVs, only option is Hybrid system, otherwise the mileage will be so low, people won't buy it.
However in my opinion, best fuel for heavy SUVs is diesel. Gives good mileage and good power.
I was very interested in this car , I was thinking to buy it exchange it from creta 2018 Diesel but after listening to the news that nitin gadkari's strict rules on petrol after 5 years ☹️
Very good to finally see Maruti getting adventurous with the New Grand Vitara . I am tempted to buy the automatic all wheel drive strong hybrid as my daily drive car. Thank you for the awesome video. .
Only Mild hybrid Manual gets AWD
who said maruti can't build amazing cars!! they are just right with what Indian customers wants!!
The front of the car is amazing 👏
I need to buy SUV(1.5 L naturally aspirated preferred). Budget is around 15L with a buffer of 1-2 lakhs. Running is less about 200-300 km per month.
I need good SUV for long drives including Hills. I can wait for few months before making my decision. I am not a very enthusiastic driver but need enough power for overtaking and enough Torque for hills. We are a family of 4 and looking for at least 5 seater with good leg room at the rear as we all are tall. I am not thinking much about Turbo.
Requirement are below:
Safety (possibly 5 star) , 4 wheels disk break and all the airbags
Automatic Gear Box
Good Ground Clearance
Mileage (we can consider Hybrid as well)
Resale Value and Good service
I thought a lot about New Brezza, Kushaq, S-Cross(new facelift). If facelift of XUV300 comes with Automatic gear box(Not AMT) then I can think about it.
Now a days I am also thinking about New Grand Vitara(strong and mild both) but not sure about the safety/strength of this SUV. Please recommend other options as well. XUV400 as well
better pray the dealers can repair the hybrid when it goes wrong. For India, ICE is best.
How safe is it?
Great review. Looking forward to the manual mild hybrid. And please give your proper opinion on steering feedback. Most of the Suzuki’s offerings have lifeless EPS.
Nikhil you have matured into a good car reviewer, been unbiased and you have a great following.
What’s the 0 to 100 timing of the strong hybrid variant ?
The mild hybrid which will attract most of the buyers is still almost same as outgoing scross..
The engine is same, I guess the hybrid behavior will also be same which is just for namesake in scross and the manual is still 5 speed, which leave you wanting for more on highways..
Though stability is very good in scross and mileage is also good..
The major uplift is only in the strong highbrid which mat come around 17-20L..
Car something like this too has all wheel drive , wonder who will go for harrier wherein it has so much of potential to be peoples SUV
Since the vehicle is predominantly powered electrically, does it need to be charged like other EVs?
Happy to see that the 3rd model to be sold under this name to turning out be a success for Suzuki badge in INDIA!! and surely this car is my go to for future purchase!!!😃
6:40 mishra ji trying hard to "don't you dare to laugh" challenge.
With the Hill Hold system after brake on the steep slope shouldn't you be climbing up but all you reviewers are slipping down, what's the use of this system then? Is the car under power to climb the slope after breaking in the middle?
Would be good to accommodate the safety rating of the cars in the review. All u talk about is styling and engine and plastics.
Never thought I would see a Maruti doing off-road 🔥😲😳
Gypsy? 🤔
dont get too excited... hold your horses... an old VW or Ford or Fiat would do better offroading i would think... these new so called SUVs are all about touch screens and show off... :)
Sunlight comes in through sunroof even if it is closed, and it makes the cabin hot. Same problem as MG Astor.
Well crafted interiors! Good launch by Maruti Suzuki! Well done : A proud owner of TATA ALTROZ ❤️
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara muscular car 👍
is it equiped with MLD or BLD
The strong Hybrid version will be any day better than buying the creta and though the toyota and maruti are same cars the vitara looks a little bit more appealing .
Nikhil is the best reviewer ..
The most amazing SUV till date , rear look is amazing, definitely better than competition creta and Xuv 700 .
Will definitely buy this 👍
It's sad Toyota is not providing M20A engine not even optional considering the fact that it's in use in Corolla since 2019 and now it's being manufactured in India.....
There's everything, but kitna deti hai?
Is Mild hybrid battery covered under warranty?
Led headlight is a must
My budget 13-15 lac, automatic, mileage 18-20 kmpl, North East India hills (Mizoram), off road conditions, comfortable ride. 1000 km/month plus once a month long drive of 600km, SUV or compact SUV, driving speed 40-60 kmph.. please suggest suitable car and model
Buy Nexon or XUV300 Otherwise go for Vw And Others
This SUV is best for city commute. If you drive to office daily in average city traffic conditions then your commute would be almost free due to EV mode/battery.Most of the time, the car would use battery power instead of engine powe due to slow speed and traffic. #Innovation #Maruti
Best interior in the segment , car looks very distinctive & eye catching from outside too. It's gonna kill it's competitors especially overrated Creta and Seltos.
No way they have diesel engines so grand vitara cant kill the koreans
Can you tell Suzuki India for the new car facelift in the future.. If they can be upgraded to 7 seater, then the spare tire must be placed under the car, not inside the car because it is very easy to take directly from the bottom rather than inside the car. many people are looking for an SUV that has 7 seats, not 5 seats. and finally the most favorite is the moonroof (which already exists today)
In terms of engine, performance,handling & quality.. Honda City Hybrid is way better than this.
So it’s good to wait for Honda Suv with same tech which will be coming in March🤞
Build quality ?
Please do bring a comparison video of Grand Vitara vs Tata Nexon
Between the Scropio N and Grand Vitara which do you think is a better AWD variant as i am looking to buy one soon and want an AWD so that I can go places like Spiti and Umlingla
All I want is 1.6 ltr diesel mill. Most of us still loves fuel burners.
Wow this one looks interesting 👍
Paddle Shifts ?
I wish we had a Mazda CX5 type of a Cross over in here..🥺🥺🥺🥺
