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.
Love how Maruti is listening to its consumer base. The AWD system makes it more capable than any of its rivals.
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.
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.
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.
Grand Vitara Interiors is better than Toyota Fortuner 😂😂😂
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.
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
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!
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
Fr
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...
I don't have money but I love to watch review videos of car 🚗
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
I just love how manufacturers are now giving us AWD options in these segments.

the oldest maruti and newest maruti in same frame
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.
Thar Killer. First time a product from Maruti Suzuki after Gypsy.
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..
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?
As always, presentation is top notch.. keep it up autocar
great Job Autocar India. This is the most thorough test of the Grand Vitara I have seen. 🤩
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 - th-cam.com/video/xoFGr2fLfj8/w-d-xo.html
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.
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
To see a Suzuki do this is just insane
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.
All wheel drive is a big win for me 😁
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!
By far the best vlog till now on displaying new Grand vitara..!
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
Well done review, loved it❤ thank you presenter
Truly a commendable product from Maruthi this has been long due but finally seems like they have done justice for the time they took.
What’s the 0 to 100 timing of the strong hybrid variant ?
Very good review so far i have seen for this car.. Great work 👏..keep it up
Nikhil & Gavin....you both are the best presenters...... awesome guys....✌️✌️🤘🤘
Much awaited review from autocar 😊
it's interesting IF hybrid+AWD
It’s a pure comfort car , not for power output
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
Such a great showing from Suzuki/Toyota.
Very well made video....good job 👏
Do such detailed review again of Toyota hyryder too .. much needed
Grand vitara matches the name for sure.. It looks stunning 🔥👌but screen should be bigger
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.
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.
The Grand Vitara is more SUVish compared to other vehicles at same price. Looks more premium for price.
Sir pls mention the music clip name used in introducing the vitara you used
What is global cap safety ratting for grand Vitara Indian version?
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..
The front of the car is amazing 👏
Can you do the test of the 1.5L 4 Cylinder motor though all focus is on Hybrids??
Wow this one looks interesting 👍
Can we get a same detailed review for Toyota urban cruiser hyryder
When will b mild hybrid drive review come of grand vitara ??
Is the awd version also a hybrid?
better pray the dealers can repair the hybrid when it goes wrong. For India, ICE is best.
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.
That AWD test was 🔥
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
I Love Diesel 4WD AT Machine..
Now its just a dream 🥺🥺😭😭
I have a doubt , does the AWD also get the Panoramic Sunroof ?
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.
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?
Can you please do review of Hector plus Diesel and also hector plus diesel after 50000 km review. After Innova stopped Diesel. I am looking for Hector Plus Diesel. Please suggest?...
Can you please suggest a car to fit 6 1' height folks between 10-15 lacs in hybrid
Pls do a comparison of Grand Vitara, Astor & Creta
Does it feel stable on the road? I thought that the urban cruiser felt like a toy as oposed to the creta.. so in curious about this one
Hi , Can there be a review done of the Mild Hybrid model as well .
Coming up shortly!
Nikhil is the best reviewer ..
Maruti has upped it game with Grand Vitara, looks stunning
What about base models?
Please do bring a comparison video of Grand Vitara vs Tata Nexon
Is Mild hybrid battery covered under warranty?
is it equiped with MLD or BLD
10:28 - 10.30 why is the google maps acting so weird on the console ?
Sunlight comes in through sunroof even if it is closed, and it makes the cabin hot. Same problem as MG Astor.
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.
2022 Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara price list:
Smart Hybrid MT -
Sigma - Rs 10.45 lakh
Delta - Rs 11.90 lakh
Zeta - Rs 13.89 lakh
Alpha - Rs 15.39 lakh
Alpha (Dual Tone) - Rs 15.55 lakh
Smart Hybrid AT -
Delta - Rs 13.4 lakh
Zeta - Rs 15.39 lakh
Alpha - Rs 16.89 lakh
Alpha (Dual Tone) - Rs 17.05 lakh
Smart Hybrid MT AWD -
Alpha - Rs 16.89 lakh

Intelligent Electric Hybrid -
Zeta+ - Rs 17.99 lakh
Alpha+ - Rs 19.49 lakh
Zeta+ - Rs 18.15 lakh
Alpha+ - Rs 19.65 lakh
I wish it had a 6 seater option similar to XL6... it could be more relevant and useful to a normal 3 generation Indian family.
This car is my next for sure .
Since the vehicle is predominantly powered electrically, does it need to be charged like other EVs?
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 ☹️
Hello, can anyone tell me if this car got fog lamps?
Led headlight is a must
Do a comparison with honda city ehev...

grand vitara has to be my fav model so far :D
Nice & Thanks :)
I really hope the three point belt for the rear middle passenger is standard for all variants.
It is
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
Will this be tested for Global NCAP?
Can Mild hybrid have a CNG Turbo option in future 🤔
Sir, why does Grand Vitara's Mild Hybrid claimed mileage (20 Kmpl) is more than that of S Cross (18.5) despite having the same engine?
Nikhil you have matured into a good car reviewer, been unbiased and you have a great following.
Nikhil the best
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.
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
Thanks for this. Please see if you can include strength type of steel, percentage of each type, and origin of steel used in PVs. Else all videos look kinda of bland, without real differentiators.
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
