Grand Vitara top model price and features – buy it or not?
Maruti Suzuki brought the Grand Vitara back to the Indian market in 2022. This premium SUV was discontinued in 2015. From 2015 to 2022 Maruti associated the term Vitara with its mid-size SUV Vitara Brezza which was quite a nice SUV with lots of practical features. But now in 2022, Japanese carmakers have stepped into the premium segment once again. As the name suggests, the premium SUV is really grand in terms of features and price as well. The base model of the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara costs Rs. 10.45 lakh. However, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara’s top model price goes all the way up to Rs. 19.49 lakh for the Alpha Plus (+) model.
