While the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV is yet to be launched in the country, the bookings for the SUV are already open and interested customers can book the SUV. In addition to that, many details of the SUV are already known as the SUV has been co-developed by Maruti Suzuki and Toyota.
Speaking of which, Toyota’s iteration of the SUV has already been revealed in the country as Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Moreover, it is also worth mentioning that this new SUV will be manufactured by Toyota at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bidadi, Karnataka.
Both these SUVs will rival the likes of other C-segment SUVs in the segment such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun and a few more.
Speaking of the powertrain, both Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will come with the same engine options. This means one mild hybrid powertrain and one strong hybrid powertrain.
The strong hybrid powertrain will be a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally-aspirated Atkinson cycle petrol engine. In Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, this internal combustion engine (ICE) along with an electric motor together produces a total of 114.5bhp of peak power. Moreover, this engine comes with an eCVT gearbox.
On the other hand, the mild-hybrid powertrain in the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is a 1.5-litre unit with 101.6bhp of peak power and this engine can be specified with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, this powertrain also comes with an optional all-wheel-drive layout.
