Grand Vitara
The latest teaser confirms the presence of the ALLGRIP variant, the first time that an ALLGRIP badge will feature in the current Maruti lineup.
This badge is meant for Suzuki cars with AWD capability.
Price
The starting price of the upcoming Maruti Vitara SUV has reportedly been leaked, coming at Rs 9.5 lakhs.
However, this may change since official prices will be announced at the launch event in August.
But if it turns out to be true, this starting price will make it cheaper than Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
Powertrain
Grand Vitara is expected to get the same engine options as the HyRyder.
It is the same 1.5L K15C dual jet, dual VVT petrol engine which also does duties in Brezza, Ertiga and XL6.
It produces 102 bhp and 136.8 Nm torque.
It gets a 5-speed MT or a new 6-speed torque converter option to choose from.
Toyota powertrain
The other powertrain is sourced from Toyota which gets a high-voltage hybrid architecture without AWD.
This engine is a 1490 cc petrol 3-cylinder engine capable of 91 bhp at 5500 RPM and 122 Nm at 3800-4800 RPM.
It is paired to a synchronous AC motor capable of 79 bhp and 141 Nm.
Combined, this powertrain is capable of 114 bhp and is coupled with an e-CVT transmission.
Launch, competition
The Grand Vitara will be unveiled on July 20.
Upon launch it could potentially unseat the current segment leader Hyundai Creta and cause Kia Seltos to lose some market share.
Other rivals include MG Astor, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and Scorpio Classic.
