As the festive season approaches, Maruti Suzuki has unveiled an exclusive edition of its popular SUV—the Grand Vitara Dominion Edition. Available across three variants—Alpha, Zeta, and Delta—the Dominion Edition enhances the Grand Vitara’s appeal by offering a suite of complementary accessories that elevate the vehicle’s aesthetics, comfort, and utility, all without an increase in price from the base variants. Here’s an in-depth look at what the Dominion Edition offers and how it stacks up against its competitors.
A Closer Look at the Dominion Edition Accessories
The Dominion Edition package includes a carefully curated selection of accessories aimed at enhancing both the visual and functional aspects of the SUV.

Alpha Package (Worth ₹52,699) :
Premium offerings such as a chrome front bumper extender, rear skid plate (available in both black and chrome), a premium body cover, and door visors with stainless steel inserts.
Unique styling additions like the headlamp garnish in black, tail lamp garnish in smoked chrome, body side molding in chrome, and interior styling kits that feature a luxurious dawn wood finish.
Practical upgrades such as all-weather 3D mats, a trunk sill protector, a door sill guard, and a Nexa cushion to enhance the in-car experience.
Additional comfort features like a 3D boot mat, side step, and seat covers available in premium enigmatic brown or dual-tone finishes.
Zeta Package (Worth ₹49,999) :
Slightly trimmed down but still includes essential accessories such as the body cover premium, door visor, tail lamp garnish, and the all-weather 3D mat.
The package also features utility add-ons like a 3D boot mat, seat covers with a premium enigmatic brown finish, and a trunk sill loading protection.
Delta Package (Worth ₹48,599) :

Enhanced Appeal and Utility for the Festive Season
The Grand Vitara Dominion Edition is aimed at buyers looking for additional value during the festive period, a time when the demand for new vehicles typically surges. With the introduction of this edition, Maruti Suzuki is enhancing the Grand Vitara’s appeal in a crowded mid-size SUV segment that includes popular rivals like the Hyundai Creta and the soon-to-arrive Tata Curvv.
This special edition is available with the 1.5-liter mild-hybrid petrol engine, delivering 103 horsepower, and the 88-horsepower CNG engine. The petrol version is available with both manual and automatic transmission options, with an AWD option available for manual transmission enthusiasts. The Dominion Edition, however, does not extend to the Grand Vitara’s strong hybrid variants, which feature a 116-horsepower petrol-electric powertrain for those seeking a more eco-friendly option.
Pricing and Festive Discounts
Maruti Suzuki has structured the Dominion Edition packages to cater to a range of budgets, with the Alpha package priced at ₹52,699, the Zeta package at ₹49,999, and the Delta package at ₹48,599. These packages do not alter the base price of the Grand Vitara variants, making them a compelling choice for buyers seeking additional value without an increase in cost.
The Grand Vitara’s price range starts at ₹10.99 lakh for the base petrol variant (Sigma), with the CNG models priced from ₹13.15 lakh. AWD is offered in a single high-spec variant priced at ₹17.01 lakh, while the fuel-efficient hybrid models start from ₹18.43 lakh. Additionally, Maruti Suzuki is offering discounts of up to ₹1 lakh on various Nexa models, making the Dominion Edition an even more attractive prospect for Diwali shoppers.
