Maruti Suzuki is betting big in the SUV segment with the launch of Grand Vitara that’s slated to hit roads in September 2022. Ahead of its market launch, the company has started dispatching the vehicle across its dealerships. The Indo-Japanese automaker aims to produce around 1 lakh Vitara in this fiscal year. It has monthly sales target of 13,000 units for the upcoming Maruti Grand Vitara SUV.
With the introduction of the strong hybrid technology, Maruti Suzuki has major focus on the fuel efficiency that’s getting significant in the mid-size SUV segment. The SUV will be made available with the 1.5L TNGA Atkinson Cycle engine with an electric motor and a 1.5L K15C mild hybrid powertrain. While the former will make a top power of 115bhp with an eCVT gearbox, the latter will offer 103bhp with 117Nm.
The company claims that its strong hybrid version will deliver a mileage of 27.97kmpl, which is highest in its segment. Its mild hybrid system will promise fuel efficiency of 19.38kmpl for the AllGrip AWD model, 20.58kmpl for the 2WD automatic variant and 21.11kmpl for the 2WD manual variant.
