Maruti Suzuki launched the Grand Vitara at a starting price of Rs. 10.45 lakh ex-showroom. Maruti Suzuki offer the Grand Vitara with mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid powertrain options, including a 4-wheel-drive option as well. Before the launch, we calculated the Grand Vitara’s expected prices and now it’s time to see how close we were.

Take a look at the Grand Vitara mild hybrid’s expected prices versus the actual launch prices:

MARUTI SUZUKI GRAND VITARA EXPECTED VS LAUNCH PRICES
Variant	Expected Price	Difference	Launch Price
Zeta Plus	Rs. 17.00 lakh	Rs. 1 lakh	Rs. 18.00 lakh
Alpha Plus	Rs. 18.00 lakh	Rs. 1.50 lakh	Rs. 19.50 lakh

Before the price unveil of the Grand Vitara, we expected the SUV’s prices to start from Rs. 9.50 lakh ex-showroom. While our in-house calculations were closer to the launch prices, a price leak from Nexa’s official website influenced our price for the base Sigma variant. As we took the base price to gauge the premium charged by the manufacturer for the extra set of features offered in the higher variants, it further influenced the expected prices of the higher variants as well. All in all, our expected prices were off by Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1.90 lakh.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara shares its powertrain and underpinnings with the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. While both SUVs offer a similar set of features, their prices vary depending on the powertrain you pick. If you are looking to go with the mild-hybrid powertrain, the Grand Vitara makes more sense with its more affordable pricing. The Urban Cruiser Hyryder, on the other hand, offers a compelling proposition with its strong hybrid variants.
