    Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara full hybrid Vs Mild hybrid: All you need to know

    What is it?

    Maruti Suzuki finally entered the D-SUV market last year with the Grand Vitara. Developed in collaboration with Toyota (their version is called the Urban Cruiser Hyryder), it can be had with two petrol engines of which one is a full hybrid while the other is a mild hybrid but available with AWD; quite a comprehensive package then.  But which one do you go for? Let us help you make a choice by laying out the facts. In this comparison story, we are looking at the fully loaded top-of-the-line variants as in our eyes, these are standards one should aspire for when looking to buy this car.

    What are the variant options?

    The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara in the mild-hybrid guise is available in the Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha variants. In this, you can also have the car with CNG power in the Delta and Zeta trims. The full hybrid model is available in the Zeta Plus and Alpha Plus trim levels.

    Are there any differences in the design?

    Given that the differences are in the powertrain set-up and feature, visually both the cars look exactly the same both on the inside and outside. Exterior design highlights of the Grand Vitara include the large mesh grille, low-set headlamps, diamond-cut alloy wheels and a strong shoulder line on the side. The rear is the most dressed up part with a contrast-coloured bumper, tail lamp with individual LED elements and a subtle roof spoiler. 

    The cabin of the Grand Vitara will be a familiar space to those in the know of the Maruti parts catalogue. You can see common elements like the steering wheel, instrument cluster, 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, stalks and buttons. What’s different is the upholstery both in terms of colour and materials used, lending a premium touch to the over layout of the cabin.

    What’s on the feature list?

    These fully loaded models that we are looking at in our story get everything that Maruti Suzuki has in its features catalogue.

    Across both cars, this list includes a 360-degree camera, rear AC vents Smartplay+ infotainment system wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Suzuki Connect with over 40 features, Smartwatch and Alexa connectivity, panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting. The fully hybrid Alpha Plus version also gets TPMS, auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated seats, a digital instrument cluster, a head-up display and a wireless charger.

    On the safety front, both top-spec versions get six airbags, TPMS, ESP, hill hold, hill descent, three-point seat belts for all occupants and ISOFIX child seat mounting points.

    Mild hybrid

This engine can also be had with CNG power where the engine gets detuned to 87bhp/121.5Nm and is only available with the five-speed manual. Lastly, this engine is available with AllGrip AWD but only in this fully loaded Alpha trim level for the mild-hybrid engine. 

    Full hybrid

    The full hybrid system is also a 1.5-litre engine mated to an eCVT and an electric motor. The petrol engine produces 91bhp/122Nm while the electric motor adds 79bhp/141Nm.

The claimed mileage for the full hybrid powertrain is 27.97kmpl which, when combined with a 45-litre fuel tank, gives a theoretical range of 1258.6km.
