Bold Design and Feature Upgrades Set the 2025 Grand Vitara Apart

The new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara (2025) sports a refreshed front fascia with a redesigned grille and sleeker LED headlamps, lending it a more assertive road presence. The SUV sits on updated 17-inch alloy wheels and now offers new color options including Deep Blue Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic.

Ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof are now standard on higher variants.

Powertrain Options: Hybrid and Petrol Variants Focus on Efficiency and Performance

One of the biggest draws of the 2025 Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is its hybrid engine option, which continues to deliver excellent fuel economy without sacrificing drivability. Customers can choose between:

1.5L K15C DualJet Petrol Engine with mild-hybrid tech, offering 103 PS and paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

1.5L Strong Hybrid Powertrain (developed with Toyota) delivering 115 PS and an ARAI-certified mileage of 27.97 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in India.

The e-CVT transmission in the strong hybrid variant ensures a smooth and silent ride, especially in congested urban environments.

Maruti Suzuki has elevated safety standards in the 2025 Grand Vitara with six airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability program (ESP), and hill-hold control as standard across most variants.

In terms of smart connectivity, the SUV integrates Suzuki Connect, allowing users to control several features remotely—like climate control, door locking, and even vehicle tracking through their smartphones. Over-the-air (OTA) updates for the infotainment system and voice commands add a tech-savvy edge to the offering.
