Maruti Grand Vitara 7 Seater Engine and Power
The 7-seater Grand Vitara will have the existing 1.5-liter petrol engine, which will be equipped with hybrid technology. In this, the hybrid engine will work to give extra boost to the car. The company can modify its engine. Its wheelbase will be larger, due to which there will be more space in the 3rd row. Its length will also be more than 4 liters. It will not be in the compact segment. Its price is also going to be high. Maruti will bring it in the segment above 10 lakhs. In India, it will compete directly with the Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus.
At the same time, the company can modify its engine to maintain boot space. While the new 7-seater Grand Vitara is also likely to get a vertical touch screen and ADAS suite. Since the Ertiga does not fall in the SUV category, it can give direct competition to the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra Scorpio N, and MG Hector Plus in the market.
