Maruti Udyog Ltd has launched the new Grand Vitara a couple of hours ago. The new Grand Vitara has got a lighter 2litre Petrol engine and is available for sale in two versions (Manual and Automatic). Price for manual and automatic transmission versions are kept 13.8lakhs and 14.8lakhs respectively (Ex-showroom, Delhi).
The new all-time four-wheel-drive Grand Vitara's 2liter, 16-valve, DOHC, J-Series VIS engine can output 120ps of power at 5500 rpm and 170Nm of torque at 3500rpm. Though this power is nowhere close to the strongest competitor, Honda's CRV, but with lighter engine and reduced prices, Maruti can ensure better economic ownership. Safety features like dual airbags, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution) and BA (Brake Assist) are available as standard options and make the car a good deal for the price.
Let's see if this 5-seater compact-SUV from Maruti Suzuki can do something substantial and eat into Honda's segment-leader CRV's market share.
