7-seater Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara could be launched in India in the due course of this year and it will get new styling and more features
Maruti Suzuki debuted its first zero-emission vehicle, the e Vitara, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 ahead of its market launch in the coming months with a claimed driving range of over 500 km per charge. The e Vitara appears to have influenced the design of the upcoming 7-seater ICE version of the Grand Vitara.
As opposed to previous rumours, the more premium Grand Vitara seems to be a completely new model with design cues inspired by the e Vitara. Based on the Global C architecture, the SUV prototype spied recently shows a significantly extended rear overhang to accommodate its third row seating arrangement.
As for the performance, it will more likely be equipped with the well-known 1.5L four-cylinder K15C mild hybrid petrol and the 1.5L three-cylinder strong hybrid petrol mill with manual and automatic transmission choices. The largest car producer in the country could sell the three-row Grand Vitara in an expansive range as well.
