The infotainment unit is a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A Clarion-tuned premium sound system elevates the cabin experience, while features like auto-folding ORVMs and reclining rear seats add practicality. Efficient yet versatile powertrain The Grand Vitara S-CNG continues with the brand’s 1.5-litre K-series Dual Jet, Dual VVT engine. In CNG mode, it produces 87.8 PS and 121.5 Nm of torque, offering a claimed fuel economy of 26.6 km/kg. While performance isn’t groundbreaking, it is adequate for daily city commutes and occasional highway runs. Competitors & segment relevance With these updates, the Grand Vitara S-CNG now goes head-to-head with the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG, which shares its underpinnings. While the Hyryder also offers similar features, Maruti’s wider service network and marginally lower price tag may tilt the scales in its favour.
