Grand Vitara: In a fuel-efficiency driven market, there is one SUV that has been the game-changer. Rather than merely boasting about fancy features, this giant from Maruti Suzuki guarantees an unparalleled mileage that may upset the reign of top competitors such as Creta and Seltos. Let us take a closer insight into what makes it special.
Mileage Comparison: Grand Vitara vs Creta vs Seltos
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara’s mileage is its greatest strength. The brand’s official website claims the strong hybrid e-CVT trim has a top mileage of 27.97 km per litre, the highest mileage among its class. The other variants too are impressive: the smart hybrid trims are available between 19.38 and 21.11 km per litre, while the CNG variant achieves 26.6 km/kg.
On the other hand, Hyundai Creta’s diesel manual returns 21.8 km/l, while the diesel automatic has a return of 19.1 km/l. Its petrol models lag behind with 17.4 to 18.4 km/l, respectively.
The direct rival Kia Seltos returns 20.7 km/l in both diesel manual and automatic versions. Its petrol variants have 17.7 to 17.9 km/l. These returns are clearly indicative that Grand Vitara has a great advantage, particularly in hybrid efficiency.
Pricing Insights: What You Pay for Efficiency
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara begins at ₹11.42 lakh and crosses the ₹20.52 lakh mark (ex-showroom). Hyundai Creta costs between ₹11.10 lakh and ₹20.49 lakh, and Kia Seltos is priced at ₹11.18 lakh to ₹20.55 lakh (ex-showroom).
Though priced similarly, Grand Vitara has far better mileage in its hybrid variants, providing price-sensitive consumers with greater value for money.
Power and Efficiency in Hybrid Technology
The Grand Vitara is notable not just for its fuel efficiency but also as a result of its effective strong hybrid technology. This configuration enables the vehicle to operate using electric power during slow-speed drives and tap into the power of both engine and battery at fast speeds, lowering fuel consumption significantly.
Why Grand Vitara Is Becoming Popular
Maruti’s strong service network, fuel-efficient hybrid options, and competitive pricing have made Grand Vitara a strong contender. For daily urban commuting or long highway runs, its mileage figures are a major draw. Buyers looking beyond just design and looking to cut down on fuel expenses will find it hard to overlook.
