The 2026 Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara has a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine and a more advanced 1.5-litre strong-hybrid powertrain.

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Yes, the mild-hybrid petrol engine can feel sluggish when pushed beyond 80 kmph on highways with a full load of passengers.

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Currently, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is only a five-seater SUV. While there are reports of an upcoming three-row version, the models available right now only have two rows of seating. But the existing setup has a lot of cabin space and comfort for up to five adult passengers.

How much boot space does the current Grand Vitara offer?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The mild-hybrid variants of the Grand Vitara provide a very practical 373 litres of boot space. However, if you choose the strong-hybrid version, the battery pack eats into the cargo area, reducing the boot capacity to just 265 litres.

Does the Grand Vitara offer an all-wheel-drive system?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Yes, the Grand Vitara has Suzuki's AllGrip Select all-wheel-drive system. However, this 4x4 capability is only found with the 1.5-litre mild-hybrid manual powertrain. It features distinct modes like Auto, Snow, Sport, and Lock, giving the car respectable off-road abilities.
