The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara has proved to be a successful product for the Japanese brand. Against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and the like, it is in high demand. However, it is made by Toyota at its production facility in Karnataka. However, the production run of this unit is low, and thus, a long waiting period applies to the Grand Vitara. Currently, the delivery time goes up to 6 months on select trims. Talking about the variant-wise waiting period, the base-spec Sigma MT is the longest.
Talking about Delta MT, delivery takes anywhere from 16-18 weeks after booking. The mild-hybrid Zeta trim has a waiting period of up to 8 weeks, while the range-topping Alpha trim with the mild-hybrid power plant has a waiting period of only 4 weeks. Automatic trims take up to 16 weeks for delivery. The waiting period for the CNG and the strong hybrid version of the SUV increases to 10 weeks.
In terms of mechanicals, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is on sale with a 1.5L NA petrol motor along with a mild-hybrid motor that churns out 103 PS and 135 Nm of maximum output. It is available with 2 gearbox options – 5-speed MT and 6-speed AT. Next on the list is the 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine which runs on a potent hybrid setup, which gives it a claimed mileage of 27.97 kmpl. The motor is mated to an eCVT unit.
