Frankly, I test drove the Grand Vitara, and there isn’t anything very negative about this SUV but certainly won’t be as good as my first choice. There is a lot to this SUV like Refined 1.5-liter hybrid engine, providing good power and torque, with smoother automatic, great acceleration and handling in front wheel and all-wheel drive. The mileage is good, safety is decent. Yet I would always prefer the Korean brands either Creta or Sonet, as both offer more value and features, according to me.

If you want a compact SUV with nicer look, higher mileage, helping you save on running cost and also a premium feel, then the Grand Vitara is the best option. This is actually what happened to me when I was looking not to spend too much to get a practical SUV. Suzuki is offering a mild hybrid engine which is refined, powerful and also smoother both for city and highway. Then the Vitara also has far better interior space, premium feel with quality interior materials, under SAR80K is a good deal.
