Maruti Udyog will launch the new Grand Vitara in July that its Japanese parent company Suzuki Motor Company has introduced in the global markets.
The earlier Vitara was, however, more powerful with an engine capacity of 2600cc whereas the new car has an engine capacity of 1995 cc. The aggressive pricing pitches Vitara strongly against the likes of Ford Endeavour(Rs 14.72 lakh for the base model) and the Honda CR-V(Rs 17.8 lakh for the base model).
"Grand Vitara happens to be our fifth model in less than 12 months," Jagdish Khattar, MD & CEO, Maruti Udyog said after the launch today. The company has launched Wagon R Duo, Zen Estilo, Swift Diesel and SX4 over the last one year. Designed to compete with brands such as Honda CR-V, Ford Endeavour, and Hyundai Tucson, the Grand Vitara will be imported from Suzuki Japan as a completely built unit.
According to company sources, the Grand Vitara, known as Suzuki Escudo in Japan. Priced at Rs 13.8 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the manual transmission model and Rs 14.8 lakh for the automatic transmission model, the car replaces the earlier Vitara that came with a heavier price tag of Rs 18.28 lakh (manual transmission).

Hey pals! Just bought this one! Awesome vehicle. Leave aside the driving experience, even when my wife drives it i just sit back and enjoy its spacious interiors. Apart from this i drive it everywhere. To the office, to my friends engagement party, high-profile meetings, conferances, shopping arcades, and of course weekend getaways. I also took it for a 4 days trip to Ooty and had a great great time. The vehicle's off road abilities are amazing. Whether it is the steep slopes or jerky roads.....this one takes on anything and keeps the drives smooth as icecream. It is very good looking as well. I've found the companion my life and recommending it to my friends as well....go ahead. Finally a car that's made for Indians.
