The global-spec Suzuki Vitara has been designed on the Global C platform that’s already used in the Vitara Brezza subcompact SUV. It’s a heavily localized platform that will surely help the carmaker achieve competitively pricing.
The new Maruti 7-seater SUV might be offered with the BS6-compliant 1.5L diesel engine that will also power the Vitara Brezza, Ciaz, Ertiga and S-Cross. The BS6-ready oil burner is reported to be re-introduced in 2021.
