Following Toyota’s recent update to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Maruti Suzuki has refreshed its Grand Vitara SUV for 2025 with a series of important upgrades. The updated Grand Vitara now boasts wider availability of its strong hybrid powertrain, enhanced safety features, and the addition of an automatic gearbox for its all-wheel-drive variants. Prices for the revised lineup start at Rs 11.42 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Key Highlights:
-
6 airbags now standard across all variants
-
Panoramic sunroof offered as an option on select trims
-
More affordable strong-hybrid variant introduced
-
AWD variant now available with automatic transmission
Strong Hybrid Made More Accessible
Maruti Suzuki has expanded the reach of its strong-hybrid powertrain with the introduction of a new Delta+ variant. Earlier, the hybrid option was limited to the premium Zeta+ and Alpha+ trims, starting at Rs 18.58 lakh. With the new Delta+ hybrid, the starting price for the hybrid version now begins at Rs 16.99 lakh, making it more budget-friendly.
All-Wheel Drive Now Comes with Automatic Transmission
In a notable update for enthusiasts, the previously manual-only AWD version paired with the 1.5-litre petrol engine now gets a 6-speed automatic gearbox, improving both ease of use and driving comfort, especially in tough terrains.
Panoramic Sunroof Now Optional
The panoramic sunroof, previously a standard feature on higher trims, is now offered as an optional add-on for Rs 60,000 on the Zeta, Alpha, Zeta+ and Alpha+ variants. This move gives buyers more flexibility in customizing their SUV.
