2025 Suzuki Grand Vitara: What’s New and Improved?
Suzuki is adding excitement to its SUV lineup. After the recent launch of the 5-door Jimny, there are strong indications that the Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid 7 seater will be one of its new additions in the future. According to AutoCar India, the manufacturer is set to launch a three-row SUV model with the internal code name Y17, based on the Grand Vitara platform. Hisashi Takeuchi, CEO of Maruti Suzuki India, has expressed that the company does not have enough SUVs to offer. In India, there are 55 SUV models in the market, but Suzuki only contributes four. This has led Takeuchi to consider offering larger vehicles. "Currently, the main SUV category is 4 meters to 4.3 meters and will expand to other sub-segments. There is a gap, and we can offer something there," said Takeuchi. Suzuki has already introduced small SUV-styled cars like the Ignis and S-Presso. The next model will be slightly larger and in India will be a new rival to the Hyundai Exter. Takeuchi emphasized that Suzuki's main mission is to offer driving pleasure according to consumer needs. "If they need a larger SUV, we will meet that need. If they want a three-row vehicle, we will supply to Indian consumers who are entry-level buyers," said Takeuchi. However, it is not yet known if the engine will be the same as the current Grand Vitara. For information, the Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid was launched in Indonesia at the 2023 IIMS (Indonesia International Motor Show). With a capacity of five passengers or 5 seats, this car has dimensions of 4,345 mm in length, 1,795 mm in width, and 1,645 mm in height, while the wheelbase is claimed to be 2,600 mm. The engine is equipped with a 1.5-liter K15C Dual Jet engine with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Electric Vehicle by Suzuki) technology. The engine configuration can produce 101 hp at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 136 Nm at 4,400 rpm. Power is transmitted through a six-speed automatic transmission.
