What owners and experts like about the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

City drivability

Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews

“it definitely is a car that likes to be driven in a relaxed manner because the engine... sedate driving is what it does best... I think it works well as a city card”

Seat comfort

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“the seat Comfort overall is not too bad the scabs are nice the cushioning is is good too and the support is quite nice... you do have a one-step recline for the seat as well”

Highway mileage

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“on the highway the car gives a mileage of 20 -- the condition is you have to cruise between 80 to 90 at lower RPM in higher gears”

Engine refinement

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“the very first thing that gets you about the Grand Vitara strong hybrid is how quiet it is... no engine sound... all I can hear right now is a bit from the AC's blower and a gentle hum from the ventilated seats”

Ride comfort

Generally positivebased on 7 reviews

“it takes to these really bad roads like an absolute pro it doesn't quite glide over them but the manner in which it takes them with confidence just allows you to drive without having to really slow down too much”

Handling

Generally positivebased on 6 reviews

“it did superbly attack corners another really good bit about this car is the manner in which it takes corners it's surprisingly agile it's surprisingly fun”

Where the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara falls short

Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.

Rear seat space

Strongly negativebased on 12 reviews

“if you're on the taller side this is one area where the Grand Vitara falls short... I don't have enough Headroom I'm just under 6 ft tall... to sit comfortably I will have to slouch down a bit and that does take away a bit of my knee room”

Fit & finish

Generally negativebased on 14 reviews

“its build quality feels average to me... this car is 'fluffy' -- kerb weight is only 1162 kg, but it's made to feel very fluffy, meaning a spread-out car, not a solid car but a puffed-up car”

Highway overtaking

Generally negativebased on 13 reviews

“the gearbox... relaxed easygoing it doesn't like to be rushed at all if you slam your foot it's going to drop a gear but the progress is going to be slow... there's not much motivation to use them because this isn't a sporty car”
