  • 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
