    • The only SUV in the segment with a proper hybrid powertrain with EV mode
    • Affordable AWD drivetrain with Suzuki AllGrip system offers good capabilities to the vehicle
    • Loaded with features such as a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 360-camera, ventilated seats, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment, and more
    • The base variant offers a decent number of features such as ESP, hill-start assist, automatic climate control, all-4 power windows, dual-functional LED DRLs, projector halogen headlamp
    • Comes with a factory-fitted CNG
    • It offers a good ride quality with well-tuned suspension and good driving dynamics
    • Backed by Maruti’s vast sales and service network
    • The Grand Vitara benefits from Toyota's expertise in hybrid powertrains, as the hybrid system is sourced directly from Toyota
    • Excellent value for money : mid-size SUV at the price of a sub 4m offering
    • A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for
    • Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain
    • 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate!
    • Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls
    • 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive
    Cons
    • Due to the hybrid battery, the boot in the hybrid variants is smaller than the regular variants
    • The use of hard plastic inside the cabin takes away the premium feel
    • The roof liner of the panoramic roof feels so flimsy
    • The three-cylinder hybrid engine makes a lot of noise when in petrol mode
    • It misses on features like electric seat adjustment, rain sensing wiper, ADAS, and more
    • The hybrid powertrain is available in two top-of-the-line variants which are a bit pricey
    • Not as engaging as the KIA Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Skoda Kushaq in terms of driving
    • The engine is tuned to give mileage which feels lethargic sometimes
    • AWD is available in a single variant with manual transmission only and with a non-hybrid engine only
    • No turbo-petrol or diesel engine on offer
    • Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing
    • No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either
    • Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch
    • Bharat crash test ratings might be average at best
