Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. The company is yet to make an official announcement whether this SUV will make its way to India or not.

Maruti Suzuki had launched the previous-gen Vitara SUV as the Grand Vitara in India, but later discontinued owing to its low sales. Previous reports suggest that Maruti is working on a 7-seater premium SUV based on the C-platform that also underpins the Vitara Brezza and the global Vitara.
