Maruti Suzuki is bringing some serious heat with a three-row Grand Vitara set to hit the roads in 2025. This one is gonna shake up the family SUV game, and we’ve got the details exclusively for you featuring more seats, slick design, and all the trusty features you love from the classic Grand Vitara, but leveled up!
What’s the Buzz About?
At their latest earnings chat, Maruti’s big boss, RC Bhargava, dropped a bombshell: “We’re launching another SUV this year!” Yup, alongside the electric e-Vitara (coming by September), Maruti’s cooking up a spacious three-row Grand Vitara (code-named Y17). It’s gonna roll out from their shiny new plant in Kharkhoda, Haryana. How cool is that?
Style That Turns Heads
This ain’t just a stretched-out Grand Vitara. The three-row version is borrowing some sleek vibes from the e Vitara. Think bold front and rear bumpers and fancy lighting that screams modern. Spy shots show a longer body to fit that extra row of seats, and there’s talk of a stretched wheelbase for more legroom. Road trips just got comfier!
Inside the Beast
While we haven’t peeked inside yet, expect the same user-friendly dashboard and big touchscreen you know and love from the five-seat Grand Vitara. It’s all about keeping things familiar but functional, so you’re ready to roll with all the tech you need for a smooth ride.
Power Under the Hood
No surprises here—the three-row Grand Vitara will pack the same punch as its smaller sibling. You’re looking at a 104 hp, 1.5-liter petrol engine or a zippy 116 hp, 1.5-liter petrol-hybrid. Plus, you’ll get manual or automatic gearbox options, and even an AWD system for those off-road adventures. It’s built on the same solid global C platform, so it’s tough as nails.
Who’s It Up Against?
When this SUV lands, it’s ready to rumble with the Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari, and MG Hector Plus. These are all three-row champs, but Maruti’s banking on its rep for reliability and value to steal the show. Oh, and word on the street is Toyota’s got a version in the works too!
In the end, Maruti’s going big with this one, aiming for the premium SUV crowd while still struggling a bit in the budget car zone. The three-row Grand Vitara is their ticket to dominate the family-friendly SUV market. With production set in Kharkhoda and a launch by late 2025, it’s gonna be a wild ride!
So, what do you think? Ready to take this spacious SUV for a spin? Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the big reveal!
