Pros Cons of Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara
Pros
- Offers both mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid variants, providing excellent fuel efficiency, with the strong hybrid offering up to 27.97 kmpl.
- The Grand Vitara comes with an AWD option, which is not available in many competitors, providing better versatility for different driving conditions.
- A well-rounded feature list includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, hill descent control, and electronic differential lock, enhancing convenience and safety
Cons
- The AWD system is only available with the mild-hybrid manual version, limiting choices for those seeking both AWD and automatic transmission.
- Interior space, while adequate, could be improved in terms of premium feel compared to some rivals.
- The strong-hybrid variants come at a higher price point, which may deter budget-conscious buyers despite their long-term cost-effectiveness.
Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact SUV with fuel-efficient hybrid options, modern features, and the flexibility of AWD. While it may lack some of the advanced features of its competitors, its combination of practicality, comfort, and pricing make it a strong contender in the hybrid SUV market, especially for eco-conscious buyers.
Pros Cons of Volkswagen Taigun
Pros
- Build quality
- Turbo engines
- Handling
Cons
- Expensive
- Fuel efficiency
- No Diesel option
Verdict
Taigun has come like a breath of fresh air in the crowded and competitive compact SUV space in India. Despite the arrival of some newer models in 2022, the car has manged to hold own to its own, primarily because of its build quality, safety and drivability, especially with the bigger 1.5 litre turbo engine. At higher end though, it does feel a tad expensive which is a critical factor in the segment.
